Nails by Steph Cox

I really don’t know when to stop. 😂
One minute we’re doing circus nails and the next I’m making balloon animals, lollipops and creepy ass clowns on her fingers.

But THIS is why I love doing nails. Give me a weird idea and let me run with it. 😂🎪

Which one is your favorite??

My client wanted Exorcist nails, so naturally I spent part of my day painting Regan. (P.s had to look up her name)

Then I realized I was expected to just… LEAVE HER HERE overnight??

Absolutely not. 😂

She has been contained. Palo santo is on duty. We continue tomorrow. 💀

Because basic cowgirl was never an option!

Apparently I DO still know how to do nails that aren’t Halloween. 😂 Barely

But don’t get used to it.
Don’t worry… I’m sure we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled spooky nonsense shortly.

She brought me The Birds 1963 Alfred Hitchcock for inspiration… so we painted the whole damn movie.

Tiny birds. Buildings. Shadows. An eyeball. All hand painted, because apparently I enjoy making things difficult for myself. 😂

This one tested me. That tiny lady in the birdcage and I were NOT friends by the end of this appointment. I painted her, wiped her off, painted her again… and again. 😭

But that’s the thing about hand-painted nail art sometimes it flows, sometimes you fight for every tiny detail.

This is exactly the kind of nail art I live for.

Okay horror/movie people… what classic movie should I paint next?

Some of us wait all year for this.

Give me the creepy. Give me the weird. Give me the tiny hand painted horror characters.

Halloween nail season is officially OPEN. 💅👻

Who already has their Halloween set planned? 👀

The evidence determined THAT was a lie. 😂💅

Nail techs know. 😂

“I don’t bite them.”

Okay bestie… then WHO DID THIS?! 😭

No clients were harmed in the making of this post. The thumbs, however, have been through enough. 💀
