My Halloween Challenge Day 4 - Happy Birthday to Me!

That's right!  Today is my birthday and I am 27.   I'm starting to really feel that old feeling everyday that I get out of bed.  It's alright though because my own family, who I saw this weekend for the first time in about 10 or 15 years, thought I was 19.  People tell me I look really young so awesome.
So I'm just gonna jump right into it and show you my very first sugar spun mani.   I know I didn't get it right, but I still think it looks really cool because it reminds me of cake icing. lol doesn't it?! 

WHAT I USED:
Zoya Zuza - 2 coats for base
Spoiled Did I Dye It Too Blonde? - neon yellow
popBeauty - neon pink
OPI - sheer grey

So like I said, even though it's not perfect, I really love it. Oh and I'll probably never do it again. lol It's just such a mess and my polish wasn't really getting that stringy effect as much as I thought it would.  Maybe it's the one's I used.  Meh, who knows?

My Halloween Challenge Day 3 - It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

Very quick post today!  I just got home and I'm sleepy.
I'm not great at nail art but I sure can carve a pumpkin.  If only my nails were pumpkins (lol what?!)  So here they are...my tiny carved pumpkins.
So I tried to do the "cut-outs" of the eyes and mouth with glow in the dark polish, but they didn't want to glow once I completely finished.  I think I really dropped the ball on this one.  lol Just know that you've all been warned several times that I'm bad at nail art, however I keep on keeping on.  I'll keep giving you all mediocre nail art if you all keep stopping by.

My Halloween Challenge Day 2 - Sugar Coma

Yeah!  We made it day 2 which I have had planned since I created this thing.
My favorite candy is pretty much anything sour, but I chose Sour Skittles as my inspiration.
WHAT I USED:
pinky: CG Papaya Punch with Sinful Suede Shoes
ring: Zoya Pippa with Sinful Suede Shoes
middle: CG Sour Apple
pointer: Color Club Lavendarling with pop Aquatic Glitz
thumb: OPI Big Apple Red with Sinful Pinky Glitter

I hope you all like it, because eventhough it was super simple, this is one of my fave manis I've done.  Oh the white S was done with a nail art pen in case you wanted to know.

My Halloween Challenge Day 1 - Fall Into Fashion

[EDIT: I FORGOT TO ADD MY INSPIRATION PHOTO FOR THE ACTUAL DESIGN SO HERE IS THE LINK...http://pinterest.com/pin/82612974385773234/]
Welcome to day 1 of my nail art challenge inspired by Halloween.  Halloween is the best holiday ever, October is the best month ever...I'm just excited.  I was so distracted at work all day because all I could think of was what mani am I going to do.  lol.

Well I decided and it didn't come out exactly like I had expected.   I'm not entirely pleased, but it is what it is.  I mean the idea of it was great in my head.

One of my favorite looks for fall is a pretty in punk type look.  Pastels mixed with studs and leather...ugh!  I love it.  I used Color Club Blue-ming for the base (♥ it!) and then I used Wet n Wild Purple Potion from last years Fantasy Makers collection.  I'm not crazy about the ones this year.  I also didn't have any studs so I used pyramid rhinestones and DONE!
The main issue was that Purple Potion doesn't sponge well.  I also couldn't find the normal stickers I used for half moons so I had to make my own.  The lines just look straight across.  Whatever I'm still pretty happy with it and I'm glad I get to wear for a few more days.  It is definitely going on my "redo" list.
I hope you all like it.  Let me know in the comments below.  haha that rhymes.
