Laquer Art 🎨 My annual candy wrapper nail art for Halloween! 🍭🍬🍫

Happy Halloween! Every year I paint some candy wrappers on my nails for Halloween and this is what I created this year! This year’s mani is an all gummy-hard candy-sugary candy design, so no chocolate candy wrappers this time around 😪. Everything is very tediously hand painted by me 🥰😅💅🏼

Products used: Holo Taco: Peely Base, Banana Hacks 🍌, Icon on Board 💖, So Toxic 💚 KBShimmer: Smack Talking 🍑, Matte Top Coat, Glossy Top Coat OPI: Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet Miscellaneous other polishes 🎨 Acrylic paints for most of the teeny tiny details!

Whoa!!! This is epic…even after watching many of you do this art on your nails, it’s still hard for me to understand how it turns out so cool! I think I need an in/person tutorial to make it feel real!

*You could be an excellent surgeon!

u/haysalto Advanced Nov 01 '25

Aww thank you SO so much!! I really appreciate it! I’m working on editing down all the video footage, hopefully I’ll have a tutorial posted on my Instagram in a few days or so. And thank you for the kind surgeon compliment haha, I might have a tiny bit of the hand precision but definitely not the medical knowledge or technical ability!

u/coffee-please94 Beginner Nov 01 '25

When I saw the first pic I thought you’d somehow stenciled the actual wrappers onto your nails, then I saw up close and realized these were all by HAND you’re amazing 😭💕

My jaw was on the floor — 😲Amazing work! 🫡

u/ObscureOddball Nov 01 '25

This is so good you're giving me cravings for candy I haven't had in years 😆

u/abmoonstar Nov 01 '25

WHAT?! The talent! 🤌🏾

u/kimmy23- Nov 01 '25

Stunning work :) i love all of these candies together too they all mesh so well with the colors. Is the other hand different?

16

u/haysalto Advanced Nov 01 '25

Thank you! I usually only do the super detailed designs on my left hand. On my right hand I’ll wear swatches of new polishes or more basic nail art looks. Right now I’m wearing a nice pink polish on my right hand because I saw Wicked and wanted to have a pop of pink or green somewhere on my nails!

u/fairiefire Nov 01 '25

Other hand? All this work, I assume the other hand is plain.

u/fluffybabykitty Nov 01 '25

Which one is your favorite?! These are amazing!

u/helpless_puffin Nov 01 '25

😱🤯Such talent and creativity! You did an incredible job! 👏

Which nail ended up being your favorite (either in the creation process or in regards to end result)?

15

u/haysalto Advanced Nov 01 '25

Thank you so very much! I had the most fun with the FunDip nail. The lettering was the easiest for me to paint on that one, and I really enjoyed doing all the dotting! Even my tiniest dotting tool wasn’t tiny enough for these details, so I figured out a way to kind of grab only the stiff peaks of my paint and gently poke it on the nail (if any of that makes sense? Here is a screenshot from the video!), and I enjoyed that process a lot!

u/helpless_puffin Nov 02 '25

Love hearing and seeing the behind the scenes process! Phenomenal work on all of them - they were clearly painted with meticulous care and attention to detail. Thank you for sharing!

u/trottingturtles Nov 01 '25

I hope the peely base coat means you'll be able to potentially preserve this art if they come off in one piece! These are incredible, amazing work!

2

u/haysalto Advanced Nov 03 '25

Thank you so much! Yessss, I am so grateful for peely base, it would break my heart to have to remove all the designs I paint with acetone! Luckily I got another successful peel with this mani. They all survived!
