Trick or Treat



I am having fun with Halloween.  I created another Halloween themed paint job.  This job was sketched out even more than the last, especially with all the different colors and layers.  The theme/idea for this paint job was 'Trick or Treat'  One hand is all trick and the other treat.



Trick hand.  The thumb is someone writing 'boo' in a foggy mirror to scare someone.  The pointer finger is a tee-peed tree...
It took a lot of layers and some sponging, but it does look like a tree.  With a light blue background and no toilet paper, it would look really cute with some mini red rhinestones, like an apple tree.

The middle finger is a spiders web with the spider on the ring finger.  I couldn't think of any other tricks that would work on a nail so I just went back to the black with orange glitter fade on the pinky.

The treat hand is like a bowl full of candy.  Starting with the thumb - skittles, candy corn, smarties, lollie pops, and m&ms.  The lollie pops were made with large rhinestones which make them really look like classic sugar lollie pops.  The candy corn nail might be making a comeback before Halloween.  It is so simple yet so fun.

This is a busy paint job but it is a theme so it works together.  It did take a lot of time since it is all hand painted but it was fun to do since it was crap weather outside.

Sinful Colors - Innocent, Exotic Green, Last Chance, Rain Storm, Amethyst, Nirvana, Black on Black, Jungle Trail
Sally Hansen - Mellow Yellow, Sun Kissed, White On, Celeb City
OPI - A Grape Fit
Essie - Neo Whimsical, Absolutely Shore, Mademoiselle

What paint jobs have you done for Halloween?  What other tricks or treats do you think would have worked?
