Halloween Nail Art Challenge: Spider

Hiya gorgeous! I know I've been slacking with my nail art prompts, but I promise to try to be better. I've just been so busy with going out of town and work has been picking up so I find less and less time to do my nails, much less edit and post. =/ I'm going to see if I can do some damage this weekend and get some mani's edited and posted!

Today's prompt is spiders. I'm really scared of spiders. Small ones are fine, but if they're a dime or bigger, I totally freak. My husband thinks I'm silly but I don't care. If you've seen the movie Arachnophobia then you KNOW what I'm talking about!

Does anyone else take pictures BEFORE top coat in case it messes up your design? I've had that happen before so I take pictures beforehand just in case I lose the design, I haven't lost proof that I did it! haha Sorry for the messy clean up, I have such a hard time cleaning up acrylic paint near my cuticles. Acetone doesn't do squat - any suggestions?

  2. Damn you are really good at this! I love the green base. You are so right it deserves a separate post. I haven't done any Halloween themed nail art ever. Dreading what mess I come up with :P

  3. Haha, I see what you mean. Yours remind me a little of some sort of sea creature (squid? octopus?), but I can certainly see the spider intent! That green is awesome, too.
