Sugar Skull Girl with Roses and Spiderwebs

 I hope you all had a fantastic day yesterday! I spent most of the day with my Husband and pups. We dressed the dogs up as Pooh Bear and Tigger, I painted my face and we took them out to the few pet stores close by. Then gave out candy to the few trick-or-treaters we had in our neighborhood.
 As promised, this was my official Halloween manicure. It is mostly all inspired by Robin Moses, you can check out her YouTube channel here. I used OPI Vant To Bite My Neck? as the base. The spiderwebs, roses, and girl are done with acrylic paint with a bit of China Glaze Fairy Dust over the roses.

Halloween Black Cat, Bats, and Glitter

 Happy Halloween everyone! I can hardly believe it's already here. This past year has flown by for me, I know I haven't been around much but this past year has had a lot of changes and I am thankful that you all have stuck around with me.
  Anyways, today I have a simple, fun design with a cat silhouette and bats. The index and pinky fingers are OPI Emotions which is a black sand polish, I really like this one and if you haven't seen it in person you really should. The middle is China Glaze Bat My Eyes with Boo-gie Down over it. The ringer fingers are OPI A Roll In The Hague with black acrylic paint for the black cat and bats.

 Here is my other hand with the bats. I messed this one up, that's life sometimes, by touching the top coat right after applying it and had to go back and redo some of it.

 And last is my pumpkin, Jack, from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

 I hope you all have a wonderful day! Do you have any plans? I will most likely be painting my face and dressing up the dogs to go out and about, then give out candy to the kids later. Check back tomorrow to see my actual Halloween mani and maybe a few other things!

China Glaze Monsters Ball

 Hey guys! Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year and I love doing nail art for it. Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to devote to here or my nails really. I did pick up four of the China Glaze Monsters Ball Halloween polishes for this year a few weeks ago and am just now getting around to trying them. I know, I fail. Anyways, on to the polish.
 Fang-Tastic is a clear base with blue, green, and pink glitter. Picture is two coats over a sheer, light shimmer polish with top coat.

 Howl You Doin' is a rich, deep purple base with copper flakes and purple shimmer. It's very reminiscent of OPI Merry Midnight. Picture is two coats with top coat.

 Bat My Eyes is a black jelly base loaded with gold glitter and a bit of orange bar glitter here and there. Picture is two coats with top coat.

 Boo-gie Down is a clear base with black, orange, and white various sized hex glitter with black bar glitter as well. Picture is two coats over Agro with top coat.

 What will you be doing for Halloween? Check back tomorrow for a bit of Halloween nail art and my pumpkins for this year!

Halloween Sugar Skull Girl

 Wow, has it been a long time! I was catching up on a few things last week and noticed it has been forever since I posted here. I have definitely lost track of time lately.
 But we all know Halloween is fast approaching here and I am super excited! I have already been doing nail art for Halloween at work. This design is inspired by Robin Moses, her video on the sugar skull girl is here. I used black for my base, the middle finger has a bit of random glitter, the ring and pinky finger are done with acrylic paint.

 Have you started any Halloween designs yet, do you celebrate Halloween? 

Eye Am Watching You!

 Happy Halloween guys! If you are on the East coast I hope you are doing well! Just a quick post today, I wanted to try this design but I didn't have much time plus I have a nasty break on my index nail so I ended up only doing the eyes on one. The base is China Glaze Cast A Spell and the eyes are done with acrylic paint. 

 And bonus pictures of our pumpkins we carved and our dog, Sasha, dressed as a wolf in sheep's clothing for Halloween!

 Do you celebrate Halloween? If you do, what are your plans?

Black Cat with Skull, Glitter and Stones

 Hey guys, I hope you had a great weekend! Sadly, this might be my last Halloween design for the year, I've been busy with work and haven't been able to do much. There is another design I want to do but I don't know if I will have time to get it posted before Wednesday, we will see.
 This design came from a travel cup I bought last week, I couldn't pass it up because it was orange, glows in the dark and had cats, skulls and pumpkins on it! Since I have been pressed for time lately I only did the design on my left hand ring finger, the base is OPI A Roll In The Hague covered with China Glaze Ghoulish Glow and a bit of Glitter Goblin, the cat and skull are acrylic paint. The rest of my fingers are a base of black polish with Orly R.I.P on my middles, China Glaze Glitter Goblin on my right hand ring finger and China Glaze Ghoulish Glow with stones on the rest.

Candy Corn Half Moon with Bats, Stones and Tutorial

 Hey guys, I have a quick and easy Halloween design with a tutorial for you today! I haven't had as much time this year to do many designs for Halloween as I would like but I am trying to get one or two more done before it is over.
 The design for today is a yellow and orange half moon with simple bats and stones.

 If you would like to see the tutorial keep reading. 

Halloween Skulls, Spiders and Webs

 Hey guys! Just a quick post today. I have been sick the past few days but I did manage to do some nail art. I started off with some easy spider webs on all fingers except for the middle finger and added a spider on my ring finger with a stone for the body, you can see my tutorial for spiders and webs here, then added simple skulls to the middle fingers. I used OPI Black Onyx as my base and the rest is acrylic paint.

Orly R.I.P.

 Hey guys! I haven't really had time to do any Halloween designs but, hopefully, I will this coming week. I am dying to do some nail art but today I have another Halloween nail polish.
 Orly R.I.P, from the Spellbound collection for Halloween, is a black jelly base with small and large orange hex glitter. The base is pretty sheer but it builds up well or can be easily layered over black. Personally, I like it alone to get the depth of the glitter in the multiple coats. Picture is three coats with top coat.

China Glaze Cast A Spell and Comparison to It's Alive

 Hey guys! I have another polish from the China Glaze Wicked collection today. Cast A Spell is a dark blackened green base with green and gold shimmer. Picture is two coats with top coat. The formula was fabulous on this one, it barely needed a second coat. 

 And because at first I thought Cast A Spell might be close to It's Alive, the green from last years Halloween collection, I had to compare them. As you can see, they are quite different.

China Glaze Glitter Goblin

 Hey guys! I had meant to post this yesterday along with Immortal since I layered it over that but I didn't get the chance to edit through all the photos and I couldn't wait to post Immortal so it had to wait until today.
 Glitter Goblin, a clear base with orange, silver and holographic glitter, was the only polish I had planned on getting from the Wicked collection. Even though Immortal was a surprise favorite of mine, Glitter Goblin is a close second! Picture is one coat of Glitter Goblin over Immortal with top coat.

China Glaze Immortal

 I finally spotted the China Glaze Wicked collection for Halloween yesterday in our area. At first, I wasn't loving really anything but after seeing them in person I couldn't decide which ones to get. Roguish Red is pretty boring but I loved the rest!
 First up today is Immortal, it's a light grey with blue and purple shimmer. I have to say I think this might be my favorite of the collection. Picture is two coats with top coat but could have used a third in some spots.

Black Bats

 Hey guys, I hope your week has been nice! The weather has gotten a bit cooler and you can definitely tell fall is here.
 Bats have been on my list of Halloween designs for a while now and I couldn't get the thought out of my head the other day so I had to do it. OPI Brand New Skates is the base and I used black acrylic paint for the bats.

Candy Corn No Water Marble

 Just a quick post today. I wanted to do candy corn tips like last year but try it a different way. I loved the fall no water marble from a few weeks ago so I went with that idea. I used OPI Barre My Soul as the base and Alpine Snow, A Roll In The Hague and L'Oreal Tweet Me. The colors a a bit too swirled together on my index finger but other than that I like the way it turned out.

Bloody Nails

 I just couldn't stand it any longer, I had to start doing nail art for Halloween. I saw some nail polish strips a few weeks ago that were bloody and it seemed easy enough to try it. I started with a white polish base and then added red polish near the cuticle with lines and drops. If I had been smarter at the moment I would have used a dotting tool for the bloody drips.

Halloween The Nightmare Before Christmas Tutorial

Here it is, my last Halloween design for the year. I love The Nightmare Before Christmas so I decided long ago that it would be my nail design for Halloween. It was time consuming, about three hours of work I would guess from start to finish on both hands but it was worth it.

 If you would like to see how I did this design keep reading. By the way, this post is very picture heavy.

Glow-Ink In The Dark

 I had to show you guys this one before Halloween is over. This is one of the polishes I picked up in Guam. Glow-Ink In The Dark is a dark blue/purple shade, it does need at least three coats if you plan to wear it alone. My pictures are four coats but it does dry insanely fast. 

 I'm not sure if it is just the formula or because it is old but it doesn't glow at brightly as Zom-Body To Love.

 Here is two coats layered over white, it really changes the color of it. I could have done a third coat but at normal length you don't notice the streaks.

 What is your favorite glow in the dark polish?
 Nightmare Before Christmas is coming up later!

Halloween Hello Kitty Tutorial

 I have a huge obsession with Hello Kitty so it shouldn't be a surprise that I have a Hello Kitty design for Halloween. Her as a black cat was too cute so that's what we will be doing today. I couldn't decide on what to do with her and didn't want to make it too complicated so I just did simple webs. 

 I have to warn you guys, she is simple but you do have to be able to get the outline somewhat close and be able to do small details but I fully believe that if you have patience and take your time you can do it. 

 If you would like to see the tutorial keep reading.

Zom-Body To Love Over White

 Just a quick post to show you guys what Zom-Body To Love looks like layered over white. I used two coats, you do have to work kind of fast because it dries quick. If you "charge" it in front of a light for about thirty seconds it glows very bright and with the white under it mine glowed for at least ten or fifteen minuets. I love it, it's very amusing to me.

 I will be back later today with Hello Kitty!

Halloween Candy Tutorial

 The tutorial for today is candy! Candy corn, lollipops, and wrapped candies. For those who don't know, I have a serious sweet tooth!
