With its most recent Disney partnership, Mooncat is kicking off the Halloween season with a nod to Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” movie.
The line, which debuts on Friday, represents Mooncat’s third partnership with Disney. The new limited-edition line includes nail art stickers and special effect lacquers that feature well-known actors from the 1993 movie.
A remark from Mooncat’s CEO Michelle Lin stated, “I couldn’t think of a better way for Mooncat to kick off our favorite season than with a dream collaboration between us and the classic Disney Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” a film that speaks to Mooncat’s own dark spirit.
Glow-in-the-dark shimmer lacquers with names like Rag Doll and My Bugs are among the other things in the complete collectors collection ($119)! My Pests! Additionally, the business sells three ultra-fine holographic glitter flakie lacquers in the hues Everybody Scream and Pumpkin King for $14.
Other nail accessories include a retractable clean-up brush ($10) and a special-editor shape-shifter nail file ($10).
“The partnership felt so natural because of the harmony between our creative spirits. The rest of Lin’s statement continued, “Through the collection, just like the movie, we wanted to marry both the unexpected frights of Halloween with three ghastly glow-in-the-dark lacquers and the joyous spirit of Christmas with three glittering holographic hues.
Launching on Friday at 9 a.m. EST on mooncat.com is the whole Mooncat x “The Nightmare Before Christmas” collaboration, which will be offered separately and as a collector’s set.
8 Nightmare Before Christmas Fingernails All Nail Enthusiasts Will Love!
1. Jack Skellington’s Grin:
- To protect your nails and make sure the lacquer adheres properly, start by applying a base layer. Give it time to dry completely.
- As the foundation colour, use a matte black nail paint. For this, you can use any matte-finish black polish.
- Use a white nail art pen or a tiny brush dipped in white nail polish once the black polish has dried. On one nail, start by sketching the general shape of Jack Skellington’s famous smile. The line should be curved upward from one side of the nail to the other and back down again. Make sure the smile extends to the entire nail.
- Using the thin brush or the nail art pen, fill in the smile with white polish. To ensure that the application looks exact and clean, take your time and be precise.
- Allow the white polish to fully dry. To guarantee opacity, apply a second layer if necessary.
- To seal and safeguard the design, use a top coat when it has completely dried. In addition, this will give your nails a glossy appearance that contrasts with the matte black foundation.
2. Sally’s Patchwork Chic:
What better way to get ideas for a striking and different nail art than from Sally’s patchwork dress? Sally is well-known for her endearing and whimsical style, so a fantastic approach to express her character in your nail art is to incorporate the patchwork patterns from her outfit.
Start by selecting bold colours that resemble those in Sally’s clothing to evoke her patchwork style. Consider using vibrant greens, purples, and blues with accents of orange and yellow. These hues will enable her nail art to come to life.
Next, to replicate the patchwork effect, think about combining a variety of unusual colour schemes and patterns.
