Trick or Treat!


Hey guys!!!!

I am so sorry about not being able to post my Halloween manis on Friday but I’ve been stuck in bed with one hell of a cold. The kind of cold that makes you pray that you don’t die in your sleep! LOL I’m laughing now but it was pretty bad. I’m just glad I’m feeling well enough to blog again and post the last installment of my Halloween series.  Okay so to finish things off with a bang I have 2 more Halloween looks.

The first look was very easy to create. I used 2 coats of OPI’s Gargantuan Green Grape as a base and then topped it off with 2 more coats of OPI’s Zom-body to Love (a limited edition glow in the dark polish). I couldn’t bare to keep these plain so I stamped a witch’s hat on the ring finger and then bats all over. This ended up being so cute. I just wish I could have shown you how it glows in the dark. My 6 year old thought these were totally bad ass. 

Boo!!!!


Next up is a Frankenstein mani. If you’re a polish freak like me then you know that there have been many variations of this manicure floating on the web. I figured I would give it a go. First I put 2 coats of Sally Hansen’s Lickety Split Lime (Insta-Dri) on my ring finger. Then I did 2 coats of China Glaze’s Grape Pop on the other nails. Using black acrylic paint I hand painted Frankenstein’s hair and mouth, the eyes were added using a dotting tool.  Using the same black acrylic paint, I then painted scars on the rest of my nails and voilà!



Well I had fun doing this series and I hope you did too. I’ll be sure to recreate one of these looks when I go trick or treating with my children tomorrow.

Be safe and don’t have too much candy!

It's that time of the year!


Hi guys!    
        
I hope everyone is doing well and I want to say hi to the new people following my blog. I truly appreciate you stopping by and checking me out.

Today officially kicks off my Halloween manicure series! I’ll be posting Halloween-themed manis every Friday this month. I know that there will be many parties and events to attend and I wanted to show you guys some cute looks to go with your Halloween outfits.

I actually rocked this first look at work and got many compliments on it. I started off with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Black Out and a layer of Sèche Vite. Next I used French manicure guides to protect the half moon and just painted the rest of the nail with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Sun Kissed. Once all of that was dry I chose a spider design from a Bundle Monster plate and stamped cute little spiders on the index and ring finger.

So what you think about this look? Feel free to send me some suggestions for my next Halloween mani.

My spider senses are tingling…
