Happy Halloween Charlie Brown!

Happy Halloween my little pumpkins!

How are you all on this spook-tacular day?! Doing anything scary or fun? I have always loved Halloween, though I'm too old to trick-or-treat now it's always so fun to see everyone's costumes, people are getting so creative these days! My mom told me I should dress up as a loofah ;) LOL Too bad I'm not allowed to dress up at work anymore *sad face* But at least I can dress up my nails right?!

Charlie Brown the Great Pumpkin has been one of my favorite Halloween shows for as long as I can remember. So what better way to celebrate Halloween then a Charlie Brown the Great Pumpkin manicure?

I started with a base of Wet n Wild Black Creme and used the water spotting method with Maybelline Color Show Navy Narcissist and Blue Blowout for the background. I also used both of those for the gradient on my thumb. I painted the rest of the details with acrylic paints, top coated with Poshe and the design was finished!

Eeep I'm totally in love!! I don't know if I'll ever take these off! ;) LOL I hope Mr. Charlie Brown would approve :) 

What do you think? Do you have any spooky plans tonight? 
I hope whatever you all do tonight you stay safe and have a wonderful Halloween!! :) 

Mish Mash Challenge: Pink

Hello pumpkins!

Happy Wednesday!!! I don't know about you guys but this week is literally FLYING by! My blogging schedule is all messed up, I usually have Tuesday and Wednesday off so I paint my nails and get prepared for the challenge on Tuesday and work on blog stuff on Wednesday. Well, I went to a hair and nails expo with my school on Monday so I had to work Tuesday to make up for lost time and man am I all over the place today! So I'm sorry that this post is a bit late :( I had to paint them, edit them, and write the post right now! At least they are up now because I love them! 

Todays theme is pink and with Halloween being tomorrow I really wanted to do a cute pink Halloween design. What's cuter than girl skulls with bows?!? Nothing that's what! ;) 

I started this design with a base of Lime Crime Parfait Day. I painted the skulls and chest with black and white acrylic paint. I painted the bows and heart along with my thumb with Zoya Kimber and OPI This Gown Needs A Crown. And I painted the bones with black and white acrylic paint as well! :) 

Even though this design was kind of rushed I still really love it! It's so cute and girly but still Halloween-y! I'm really glad that I managed to get this design out on time and I can't wait to see what everyone else does for today's challenge! Make sure you check them all out! :) 

Thanks so much loves!! :) 

Sparkling spiderwebs!

Hello chickies!

So can I first start off saying njfosghuihgrulsihvuihaiopirenvlasuhio -_- LOL Sorry I haven't posted! As you all probably know my Birthday Bash One Year Giveaway has ended and I've been spending all of my time trying to contact winners and everyone so it gets all squared away! I only messed up a little ;) But good news! Everyone has responded so I want to thank all of you who entered for entering and I hope you new followers stick around because I love having you here! :) 

Okay onto the nail art!

I've been in sort of a nail art slump for almost 2 weeks now. It's not that I have lack of ideas, I have plenty, but everything I do just never seems to come out the way I envision it, or quite up to my standards. Do you ever have slumps? I have no idea how to get out of it!

This is an example of one of my slumps... don't get me wrong I do like these spiderweb nails, they just didn't come out the way I wanted them to! 

I started with a base of Wet n Wild Black Creme. I freehanded the spiderwebs on with OPI This Gown Needs A Crown. I top coated and they were finished! :) 

Blehhhhhh! They are okay I suppose, I just wish they came out the way I wanted them to! Oh well though right? Better luck next time ;) 

Happy almost Halloween!! Be on the look out for some more spooky designs on this little blog!
Thanks chickens :) 

Pumpkin gradient-ed claws

Hello pumpkins!

Speaking of pumpkins... Halloween is never complete without at least one pumpkin manicure am I right?! I'm hoping to be able to create one or so more pumpkin manicure before the hallows-eve is upon us ;) 

But let's talk about this one shall we? 

I started off with a base of Wet'n'Wild Black Creme. When that was dry I taped off triangles in the middle of my nail and did one coat of Azature White. Then I sponged a gradient over that using China Glaze Bizarre Blurple and Orange Knockout. I drew the pumpkins on using acrylic paint. A little Poshe top coat and it was finished! 

Look at me getting all creative and stuff with my pictures! ;) 

And here's a bonus 'before' picture right before the pumpkins were painted on :) I love this "claw" look!

What do you think? Do you love Halloween? What's your favorite part??

And don't forget guys my One-Year Birthday Bash Multi-Blogger GIVEAWAY is ending SOON! Make sure you get your entries in!!!! Just click the link above :) 

Thanks loves!

Mish Mash Challenge: Rainbow

Happy Wednesday lovelies!

I'm sure you all know by now that Wednesday means mish mash challenges! Today's theme is rainbow and I was so excited because there's so many different possibilities with this prompt. Unfortunately I was having one of "those" days yesterday, you know, the days where nothing you paint on your nails comes out right, when you can't even paint your nails properly. UGH! I was so frustrated yesterday, I usually do between 3-5 designs on Tuesdays because it is my day off but I only managed to get this design finished before I just gave up    -_-

Well, oh well! At least I got something halfway decent for these :) 

I started with a base of OPI Bubble Bath for a base on all of my nails. Then I painted the drips and chevrons with acrylic paints. I top coated with Poshe and was finally done!

I know I could have executed these so much better, but I am still quite happy with the way they came out. I've been wanting to try rainbow drips for a while now so at least I can check that off my bucket list ;) 

Don't forget to check out what everyone else did for today's rainbow prompt! 

Thanks cupcakes :)

Born Pretty Store Tribal Candy Color Frosted Matte Nail Polish

Hello everyone!

press sample

I've got a super gorgeous and bright nail polish to share with you guys today! The Born Pretty Store keeps offering new things and I'm totally loving it! They seem to continue to expand their nail polishes and the one I'm reviewing today is their Tribal Candy Color Frosted Matte Nail Polish in color #11. 

Color #11 is a canary yellow polish that dries to a matte finish. The formula was a bit tricky to deal with, it's pretty watery so be careful not to flood your cuticles. Also, make sure you leave enough time between coats because if not the polish will drag and get kind of goopy... is that even a word? LOL! It didn't dry as quickly as most of the matte polishes I use do but it still dried quicker then normal polish. Below is 3 careful coats of #11 and no top coat so you can see the pretty matte finish. :) 

How cute is this bottle?! 

Overall I'm quite pleased with this polish. I just needed to acquire some patience for the application ;) The only thing I wish it had was an actually name not just #11 but oh well! 

The Tribal Candy Color Frosted Matte Nail Polishes retail for $4.36USD and come in 20 pretty shades. You can purchase them HERE or anything else from the Born Pretty Store at www.bornprettystore.com. Keep up with new products and news by following them!
