Nail Art: Nightmare Before Christmas for Halloween

Before I start this post, for those who followed me on Twitter knew that my Grandfather passed away on 10/12/11. He has been one of the most inspirational people in my life. My grandfather lived a good life, he had great children, great in laws, and most of all great grandchildren. He didn't have any troubles in life except for the past two years. When my father passed away 2 years ago my grandfather was devastated, they were inseparable. My father was the greatest in-law for him. And then a few months ago, my grandfather's best friend pass away. He was sick and was unable to attend his funeral. Now it was his time to go. I'm sure he's in a better place now with his best friend and his son-in-law reuniting. I'm depressed because I was unable to attend his funeral because he lives in Venezuela. My brother flew there last week, it was like my grandfather was waiting for him before he left the world. My grandfather taught me a lot growing up, he visited New York multiple times. I will never forget the things he did for us. He is truly a caring person and heaven just received another angel. I miss you grandpa, may you rest in peace.

Now I am not a huge fan for scary movies, the only scary movies I've watched are all the Chucky series, and The Ring. That's about it. I'm not into the whole suspense and waiting for something to pop up to scream. I'm a wussy >_< so I decided to choose a little something less scary. Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm a huge fan of Tim Burton and Nightmare Before Christmas was one of my favorite films from him.

Here is my entry for the giveaway:



I think it turned out pretty well! Jack Skellington glows in the dark. I can't remember all the polishes I've used because I put them all away once I was done with the mani. I thought Sally was going to be the hardest, and it was. It took me awhile to get it done, but everything was done at one shot. I am pretty pleased of the turn out and got many compliments for it. Of course I was only able to do it on my left hand, no way I would've been able to do this left handed. I've never done this type of nail art before. All I did was simple stuff like what you've seen before so let's hope I win :)

What do you guys think of my Halloween mani?
