It's never too early to start thinking about what you're going to do with your nails for Halloween. As for me, I think I'll be sporting these gruesome Infected Zombie Fingernails (inspired by #RobinMoses). They'll go great with my medieval princess outfit, right?

Valentine's to Halloween in one easy step

Fastest, most awesome manicure makeover ever. Using a new Water Marbling technique here - I had an Ombre valentine's design for valentine's day, but I can only handle pink for so long before I start to twitch.

Cobweb cover makes all the change I needed!

Simply Spooky

Sometimes, it's just not necessary to spend a whole lot of time on your nails. Not when you can still get an awesome look using the polish effects you already have, made for simple and awesome application.

Sparkly orange base coat and a crackle overcoat make for a great Halloween look, in a 5-minute manicure. The crackle polish "look" isn't for everyone, but I think for Halloween especially it works fantastically well. 

Day chock full of nail designs

Yesterday, I posted a design challenge from a friend. I carried on the Halloween theme, and then just kinda played a bit and came up with a few more. Very productive day in the design examples department!

The mummy was inspired by Dying4Chocolate's youtube video, the Haunted house shots were by ihaveacupcake, and the spider loosely by MissChevious

Then I went on to play with water marbling, and had a wild hare and made a back-to-school design while I was at it. Long day, but full of fun & color.

After getting some feedback on the earlier designs, I got a special request on a "fun" spider design, based on a picture a friend found online. This guy turned out really fun (and cute), if I do say so myself!

Autumn to Halloween

Well the outside world may not realize there's a change of seasons, at least not in southern Texas, but a girl can dream. From fall nails, onward to creepy themes. Bats and haunted houses might just bring a chill to my spine. Now if only they'd bring a chill to the air as well!

I started with a pretty starry blue sky. Simple and not much to it, but pretty nonetheless. Then I stumbled across this design by IHaveACupcake and couldn't resist embellishing the starry skies I'd been sporting for a day already.

New meds are wearing me out so I'm asleep more than I'm awake, but when I'm awake in the coming months  I'll be trying to keep my nails in time with what Hallmark thinks the weather should be ;)
