Melting French Tips

These were fun but the didn't last long.  I always have such a hard time finding white nail polish and this new stuff I was trying just basically wouldn't dry-which kind of defeats the purpose of nail polish in the first place ammaright...

This is Halloween!

Alright I know I'm still a little early, but it's Halloween season anyway.  Halloween nail art is maybe my favorite.  Which is why I did the 'ol different design on every nail this week.

The thumb is supposed to be a haunted house... it's not great, and the photo doesn't capture it perfectly, but I tried.  On the pinky I tried a fun sorta drape lines of gooey polish over dry pain after poking at it a while to make it gooey method to make it look like drops of blood or something.  Didn't work that well, but it's a tough technique, I have to play around with it more.  

I've been wanting to try the whole putting pictures from the newspaper on your nails technique for a while... and when it was getting late and I was tired, I decided to give it a try on my right hand.  It called for rubbing alcohol, which I didn't have, but I kept googling till I found someone who said I could use white rum- I bought some ages ago and it's been sitting in the pantry over a year (I'm not actually much of a drinker...)   Here is a description of the technique

I was actually planning on doing it for all of the nails, but it didn't really work on a few- including the thumb (supposed to be a mummy of some sort) but I decided it was good enough and I was tired.  the Day of the dead mask, and jack-o-lantern print worked pretty well, and I did a quick witch and then a pretty sloppy crossbones on the pinky.  What can I say, out of 10 original nails, I only feel great about 7 or 8.  If you're upset, come by and I'll give you some candy.  Or maybe just some candy corn nails like I did last week.  

Happy Halloween!

Sparkle and Shine

So its been a long time for me since my last post.  The summer working at a summer camp lead to me painting my nails very little because the little ones would just promptly mess 'em up, but now I'm getting back to the routine.  And with that I present these golden beauties.

Classic Halloween nails...

Well I've known this was coming for a while, such classic and easy Halloween nails... Had some trouble because I assumed the yellow could go over the orange no problem, so I had to go back and clean up the orange before adding yellow... But all in all it worked pretty well!

Cheesetober fest

Went to a "cheesetober fest" last weekend.  It was a little disappointing due to some crazy dietary restrictions I have to be on for health reasons... But still had fun nails and a fun day!

GhOoOoOoOsT!

Some friends of mine have Halloween movie nights every weekend in October leading up to Halloween.  This past weekend, as it was not quite October, we just had a Patrick Swayze night and watched Dirty Dancing (one friend hadn't seen it) and Ghost.  This was my nailful contribution.

Happy October, everyone!
