Nail Art: Bats

Bats is the inspiration for the 4th installment of my 2014 Halloween nail art series. I have mixed feelings about this nail art and so I think this post will be short and quick with only a few pictures. I don't know how to put in words how I feel about the results. But it seems like it lacks something to be interesting enough.

Take a look:



The initial idea was to create bat tips. But I figured it wouldn't look like bats if the wings will not show. So I decided to paint the bats on the middle of each nail with its wings stretched out on both sides. And as I was painting the first bat, I was satisfied with how it looked so I continued on with the rest of my nails. But when I finished, I think it looked more like Batman nails! Lol!


This freehand Halloween nail art was painted using black and white acrylic paint and a detail nail art brush. It was easy to work with my dominant hand but I have to admit that it was quite a challenge to do my right hand. How I wish I could have come up with a mix and match theme for this nail art. Perhaps that would have made a difference on how I feel about this bats nail design.

Here's a closer view of one of the bats:


There's not much details on the bats. The only detail added are 2 tiny white dots for the eyes.

Well, I will leave it to you to judge my bats nail art for Halloween. I do guarantee that this is not a spooky design if you want something scary for the upcoming season.


You are free to give this design a thumbs up or down. But regardless, I hope that it will bring inspiration. Perhaps you will do a better recreation. :)
