Halloween claws - Artsy Wednesday

 

This week’s challenge is of course Halloween!!

You might notice that my nails suddenly grew dramatically, but they are borrowed feathers so to speak…

The paintings are however as always my own freehand nail art. The base color is Catrice C04 Wild, Wild West-side. The dark sky is sponged with China Glaze Meteor Shower, the fine micro glitter is China Glaze Fairy Dust and I used acrylic colors for the nail art. The thumb is a pumpkin/Jack o'lantern in a field and it’s sunset, the sky is darkening, the index is ghosts flocking over the witches brew, that is coocking over fire. The middle is a young witch with lip stick, and in her world her nose, the warts and her chin and looks makes her a really hot chick! The ring finger is s cob web and the bats are flying on my pinkie.

Danish midsummer “St. John’s Eve” - “Sankt Hans”

 

The longest day of the year – summer solstice – is June 21 and June 24 is Sankt Hans dag – but in the evening of June 23 we celebrate Sankt Hans evening with huge bonfires, speeches, the midsummer song and being with friends. We also say that on this evening the witches fly on their broomsticks to Brocken in Harzen in Germany to meet. And this was the super short version of a tradition that has been developed through centuries…

We celebrate it with our neighbors (living in the countryside that basically are a lot of people from the neighborhood) – and naturally my nails had to reflect what evening it was…

All the used polishes are from China Glaze; the base is Sea Spray, the blue is Blue Years Eve and the fiery orange is Riveting. The rest is painted with acrylic colors, and the top coat is Seche Vite.

I går fejrede vi som sædvanligt Sankt hans sammen med vores naboer, og i ved jo alle hvilke traditioner vi har her i landet, og at heksene flyver til Bloksbjerg.

Derfor vil jeg nøjes med at fortælle at de brugte lakker alle er fra China Glaze grundfarven er Sea Spray, den mørkeblå er Blue Years Eve og den orange er Riveting. Resten er malet med akrylfarve, og til slut lagde jeg Seche Vite som toplak.
