Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! It’s hope your week has been as calm & peaceful as can be.
Today is our third prompt for Glam Nails Challenge October, which is ghost! I do love a good ghost design especially this time of year, so I was excited to give this a go. I wanted to create a ghost look slightly different from ones I’ve done in the past, & I think I managed to create a spooky & fun look. & I’m so in love with how they turned out.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
- Top Coat: Sally Hansen InstaDri Top Coat (red bottle)
- Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist (purple)
- China Glaze Skyscraper
- Essence Pastel Ombre Top Coat
- OPI Alter Ego
- Icing Store Black
- Small Dotting Tool (NailsStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio)
So the trick of creating these translucent ghosties is using a really, really shear white polish (or mixing a more opaque white with a clean polish to thin it out.) I Have this Essence Pastel Ombre Top Coat from years, & years ago, & while I’ve never used it for an ombre design, it works perfectly for nail art like this! I also added a bit of OPI Alter Ego for a bit of extra shimmer/glow.
What do you think about this ghostly design? Do you like the spooky sheer effect of the ghosts. I feel like these ones are definitely more on the spooky side, compared to my ghost designs of years past — which I’m loving! Let’s go for all the spooky vibes this October — I am here for it!
Happy Wednesday

Wut (!?!!) – this is AMAZING! I LOVE how your little ghosties float hauntingly above your sparkly base. This is FANTASTIC and I wish it was on my own nails right this second!
Thank you so much for being a bright spot in my days!
Blessings & big virtual hugs,

Oh thank you for leaving comments on my posts that always brighten my day. It truly means a lot to me — I love when someone loves my nails as much as I do. & Hauntingly was just the word I was looking for when describing this design so that you for finding the word I couldn’t!
♥︎ Have the most wonderful day.
Thank you, dear – YOU ALSO!
