Pumpkin nails

I decided to paint some pumpkins on my nails. They kind of fit in for Halloween, but they work well for fall too, especially since I made them regular pumpkins and not Jack-o'-lanterns

I started with a base of Sinful Colors Nirvana (after my base coat, of course!). I used two thick coats to get full coverage. Sorry for the messy job, but I was going to add more and only wanted to do one clean up job.

Here's what I did on my nails. I didn't take pictures of the steps, but I put down white polish first. The orange is Wet N Wild Sunny Side Up. The stem is Essie Little Brown Dress. For the vine, I used a Migi nail art pen. The highlights on the pumpkin were done by mixing the orange with yellow and red/black.
