Whoa, whoa, whoa, before we even start this nail art post, can I just say I don’t understand how it’s the middle of October already? I’ve been too distracted by the stress of midterms and papers to even buy my first pumpkin flavored anything yet! That’s a crime.

But, here we are, smack-dab in the highpoint of fall, and you know what that means – Halloween is almost here! I have been super-geeked this year for the magical holiday to arrive, since I’m living out my childhood fantasy of being… um, drumroll please… Sailor Mars!

I don’t know about you guys, but I was a huge Sailor Moon fan when I was younger. Like, recess was dedicated to running around the playground pretending I was Sailor Mini Moon with my friends. Huh, that’s not embarrassing to mention at all.

My excitement for this year’s costume got me nerding out harder, since geeking usually just leads to more (possibly unnecessary) geeking, and bam! I have the coolest Sailor Moon-themed nails to share with you gals. I promise it’s not as difficult as it looks, but this nail art does take some good old time and patience. Scroll down to check it out!

Fighting Evil by Moonlight

In case you missed out on Sailor Moon, it was a popular anime-styled cartoon back in the ’90s about a young schoolgirl, Serena, who discovers she has the power to become the Sailor Soldier Sailor Moon. After awakening the other four Sailor Scouts, she must defend the Earth from evil while living the hectic life of a 14-year-old.

For this look, I decided to incorporate a few major components from the show. First up, we’re going to be creating the tiaras the Sailor Scouts wore on the foreheads. These are super-simple, and will be the main decor on our nails. I decided to do this on my index, middle, and pinky finger.
