GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE OCTOBER 2025 — Ghost 👻

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

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE OCTOBER— Ghosts

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday. It’s a beautifully crisp Fall day here — which is crazy, because yesterday it was almost 30c! I’m much more keen on the Autumn crispness to be fair.

Today I’m excited because we are continuing Glam Nails Challenge October with the next prompt which is ghosts! 👻 I wanted to create a kind of spooky, kind of cute ghosty look, & this is what I came up with.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
  • Ardene TGIF
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Get amid
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri Ghouls Night Out
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri 1 Polish, Ah Ah Ah
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio
  • NailStuff.ca 4mm Micro Detail Brush

Happy little ghost!

I totally didn’t realize I was going a second purple Halloween design in a row, I just really wanted to wear TGIF because of that beautiful blue glow it has! I do just absolutely adore how these ghosts turned out though — better than I could have (& did) picture in my head. Kind of cute, kind of spooky.

Just a fun Halloween look to wear.
