Kawaii Halloween Candy Nails with DIY Nail Decal Technique

It's officially mid October so what better way to start off the celebration of spooky times with a little nail art?

This coral polish is by Etude House

I'm using the plastic bag trick for these designs. All you need is a plastic bag or plastic surface to paint on the designs, a fine tip brush, some fast drying topcoat, and tweezers. If you paint too many layers of polish on the designs will take a very long time to dry and if you peel them off too soon you run the risk of ruining all your hard work.

I wanted to make the designs big enough to cover most my nail. Use pastel colors instead of primary colors to make your designs the most kawaii!

Adding pink cheeks to anything will kawaii-fy your nail designs!

When your designs are all painted carefully top coat around the edges of your designs to make them easier to peel off and also lessen the risk of bleeding the colors together when painting a final top coat on your finished nails. Nothing worse than bleeding colors in the nail designs you just took a whole afternoon to paint! (Sorry the photo is so dark, I literally took a whole afternoon to paint these, and by the time I was finished it was dark!)

After your nail designs are dry and ready to peel off, do so carefully of course! Paint one coat of the polish that will be your desired background color, I am using an Elf polish with a subtle pretty blue sparkle running through it. The second coat of polish be ready to peel off your design and carefully place with tweezers onto semi wet polish. Wait a little to buff your design in like a decal. With a light hand paint a coat of top coat covering the design of course and the entire nail. I say with a 'light hand' because colors will still bleed easily even after top coating the designs.

TIPs!

• Clean off your brush in between colors with nail polish remover to prevent unwanted mixing of the colors
• Use a cheap top coat that peels off easily
• Stick your plastic bag designs in the freezer to speed up the drying process (this also makes it easier to peel them off)
• Use CLEAN tweezers to peel of the designs

Finished! Oh la la..

Thanks for stopping by! Hope your designs turn out beautiful and SpOoKy :)
