We all like to dress up, and we all like to attend fancy dress balls, parties, Halloween etc.

Next fancy dress function you attend, try adding the unusual, to your look.

For adults

• Try painting a temporary tattoo on your arm, leg or body section, using face and body paint.
• Paint your face with face and body paint
• Paint on some body jewelry with face and body paint
• Fingernails painted with Glow in the dark fingernail polish.
• Wear a belt made from glow in the dark and reflective strip
• Wear a wig, or a monster mask,
• Wear one a a few glow bracelets or necklaces
• Wear glow in the dark ear rings, or even flashing ear rings
• Use a glow stick or two to add to the look
• Wear some crazy contact lenses, foe example wolf eye, or white Manson

For the children

• There are lots of inexpensive costumes that they can use.
• Add some face and body paint to their face
• Glow fingernail polish is inexpensive and non toxic and great for Halloween
• Paint a glow in the dark spider web with spider on their shirt or Paint a Glow in the Dark witch or warlock headwear or hat.

Buy a large pumpkin,and remove the eyes nose etc as you normally would for a Halloween pumpkin. Paint a few coats of glow in the dark pigment and clear polyester resin to the inside and outside of the pumpkin, allow the mix to dry between coats. Now let the inside (flesh) of the pumpkin rot away over the next few months and you will have a hollow halloween pumpkin that glows in the dark. If you cut the bottom of the bumpkin off and you think outside the square you'll relealise that you could hear this over your head. A creative person with a little bit of electronics experience could then wire up a few battery operated flashing LEDS , or other battery operated lighting.

So the next time your contemplating dressing up in fancy dress,get creative by thinking outside the square, and go fancy dress unique or elite.
