Another Halloween inspired post


Alright, well Halloween is coming quickly! I wanted to do another Halloween inspired nail post before Halloween actually gets here, but last night I got the WORST headache ever. So I started doing individual designs on my nails and then just gave up. I still like how they turned out, they're just sloppy, but I hope everyone enjoys them anyways!

Started off by putting on 2 coats of Wet n Wild: Fast Dry in Orange (Orange is all they could come up with for a name? lol). I am not really into orange polish, but I needed some for Halloween, so I bought it. I ended up LOVING it!! It has just the right amount of sparkle in it and its the perfect shade!



Then I was starting to do a different design on each nail, but like I said, the headache pretty much took over and I wasn't feeling like doing anything. So instead of starting over on the two nails I started, I just did something else on the rest and kept the two random nails. lol




 Since my headache was so bad, I didn't do the spiderweb and pumpkin nail on the other hand, I just stuck with the green, black, and orange on the other hand.


Here are the other two colors used. Wet n Wild: Fast Dry in Ebony Hates Chris. The green is Sinful Colors in Innocent. All the green and black was free hand. I really need to get some good tape and patience. I tried to do some stripes on my nails before with scotch tape and it turned out terrible. lol I didn't let the base color dry long enough and the scotch tape peeled off half the paint. Some things are fairly easy to do free hand, you just need the right brushes! I almost forgot to mention, I finished off with a clear coat of Super Dry by Diamond Cosmetics.  Forgot to take a pic, so I just googled it.


Sorry that this post was so short, but I hope that you enjoyed it! Please feel free to share your Halloween designs with us!

I'm a Pumpkin Queen!

Hi there :)

Halloween is right around the corner. Literally like right there. Can you believe it? Where has this year gone? It has really flown by! I really love Halloween though! It's my favorite holiday! I love to put up spooky decorations. We  never get trick or treaters here, but we buy candy just in case! I have been doing mostly Halloween inspired mani's this month and I have been having a blast. I hope to do one more before Halloween gets here.

This week my nails look like pumpkins. I did something a little different and I only painted my thumb nail with a pumpkin face since my thumb is my biggest nail I thought it would be easier and less time consuming. I tried that magnetic nail polish stuff the rest of my fingers. Holy cow, that stuff is neat!! I would like to try more colors and other brands of this stuff! I had a hard time the first time I tried it, because I kept smashing the lid down onto my nail into the polish, so I ended up having to take all my polish off and redo it! I saw a picture the other day of sinful colors with a ring, that is a great idea!

First I painted all of my nails orange. (After adding the magnetic polish though, I realized that I didn't need to paint my nails under the magnetic.) I don't have a lot of oranges so I used Wet n Wild- Fast Dry brand 9021 Orange.


I painted a pumpkin face on my thumb nail once everything was all dry. I used Wet n Wild Black Creme. I used a mini paint brush that I found at Joann's. I forgot to take a picture of it so i linked you right to it.


Last I added the magnetic polish. This stuff is fun and really neat to use. See, no need for the orange on all the fingers. I would save yourself the time!


Here's my finished hand.


Thank you for reading I hope you enjoyed!
