Little Monsters

Today is HALLOWEEN! HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL OF THE GHOULS AND GOBLINS OUT THERE. We have not gotten any trick or treaters at all. I'm really sad.
Today is also the last day of my Halloween themed manis (I will do more throughout the year though). I had when October ends.

Someone in one of the groups I belong to posted this mani and I decided to recreate it. I forgot that persons name so if it's you please please comment so I can credit you properly!

It's also a mashup of several manis I have done through out the month.

I hope all of you have a safe and fun Halloween!

Until tomorrow my pretties!

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

I've gotten several emails and comments asking me if I do both hands when I do my nail art. The answer is yes. It's hard painting with my non-dominant hand. I take my time with with. It sometimes comes out better than when I paint with my dominant hand!


I also have gotten several requests asking to do a tutorial on my ZOMBIE NAILS, so I plan on doing that first thing November hits.

So this mani I am about to post, could have been executed better. I did it at 4 AM (I suffer from insomnia) and while I was laying down on my bed (lazy me).

There is a reason why I included the spooky eyes and the eyeballs!

The spooky eyes are there because I used to play Bloody Mary and Candyman.

Each time I said their names in the mirror 3 times, I swear I saw eyes!!!

The reason why I included the eyeballs is because when I was around 6 or 7 I saw the movie Phantasm.

When I went to bed I had a nightmare!!

Instead of the little metal ball, it was eyeballs!

Not my best manicure and not my worst.

It was played out a lot better in my head.

But I am not completely disappointed (does that make sense?)

I am not even gonna lie, it's obvious that I am running out of ideas. 

A lot of the stuff I want to do, I can't. I don't know how to execute it!

We'll see what tomorrow brings!

Until tomorrow my lovelies!!!

Who Do Voodoo? We Do!!!

Inspired by the great Johnny Thunders song! I have finally fallen back into my niche. I love today's manicure. I am unsure of why this weekend sucked so bad in regards to my nail art. Can't win them all I guess. I was afraid that I had plateaued. Fin! No more nail art for you! So happy that is not the case!!

I enjoy sharing my failed manicure with you all. I will be redoing those manicures those manicures that I counted as failures. ONTO THE MANICURE!

I need a better lamp to photograph my nails with. 

Any suggestions?

Until tomorrow my pretties!

When The Wolfbane Blooms And The Autumn Moon Is Bright

I was watching The Wolfman (1941.. I DO NOT watch remakes) and got inspired. The Wolfman is one of the very first horror movies I saw as a child.. I was probably 5 or 6 and my uncle was babysitting me. Back then channel 68 would play creature double features on Sundays. Each Sunday he would plop me down in front of the TV and we would watch them together. I love it.

Brown, Tan, White, Red Acrylic Paint

Until tomorrow my lovelies!

Braaaaaaaaaains Or Beauty?

It's getting harder and harder to choose what nail art to do as October breezes by. I have pages upon pages of ideas. October is such a fun month.

I live in Boston and we have been getting warm weather this October. Definitely something out of the ordinary for us. I'm not complaining though. But you can still smell Fall in the air.

For the past 7 years, each October I watch at least two horror movies a day. I have no idea how it got to be. But I am completely obsessed with horror/thriller/slasher films!! If you could see me now, I have a huge smile on my face.

Enough of that. Sheesh! Hahah

Base Color: OPI Alpine Snow

Black acrylic Paint

Zombie Face: OPI Gargantuan Green Grape

Rotting flesh: Essie Going Incognito

Brains: Orly Cotton Candy

Background: Piggy Polish I'll Get You My Pretty

Look at how cute they are! I want to squeeze them!!!

Ki Ki Ki, Ma Ma Ma

It's no secret that I am a horror fanatic... It verges on the edge of horror snob or so I have been told!!
I am feeling a little bit better. This is the second sinus infection I've had this month. I keep putting off seeing the doctor.

Hockey Mask:

Base Color: OPI Mummy Knows Best

Tan acrylic paint stippled with my finger

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Breaking Bad. Sooo good!!

How cute!! Ah I love them!!

I truly love doing nail art!!

I had an awesome weekend!! 

I hope everyone had a fun and safe weekend!!

What's your favorite scary movie?

Until tomorrow my pretties!!!

xoxox

Which Witch?

Once again, I am sick. I have a sinus infection again. I really want to stab my left eye. Despite feeling like I am dying (I maybe exaggerating), I did my nails. I'm going to be honest.. I forgot to moisturize my cuticles.. Please don't hate me for it! Hahaha

Base Color: Kleancolor Purple

Black, white, sea glass acrylic paint, 

Hair: Essie School of Hard Rock

Buckle: Sally Hansen Lightening

My boyfriend said he doesn't really see how they are witches.

He is more used to the pointy hat and such.

I will be doing that as well. 

What do you think about this mani?

I am headed up to New Hampshire for a day or apple cider and the world's largest arcade..

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Until tomorrow!!

Creepy Treats

I have a notebook in which I write down my nail ideas. I sat on my bed pouring over the ideas. Yes, no, maybe, hell no, what was I thinking? I decided on candy corn. But the outcome is far from candy corn!

So creepy cupcakes.. To me, they kind of don;t look like cupcakes.

What do you think?

I need to work on making my frosting look more fluffy!

 This is my left hand. 

My favorite cupcake is the pointer finger.

I used around 30 polishes for both hands.

Right hand!!!

My favorites are the middle and ring fingers. 

The pinky looks squished haha

I really need to work on my cupcakes. Sheesh!

They all glow in the dark. 

I love love the eyeballs!

So which creepy cupcake is your favorite??

Monster Lab

I first staredt off with the idea of doing Purple People Eaters.. Then that changed to cyclops. Then it evolved into what you see here.

I seriously cannot help but giggle when I look at this mani. 

It cracks me up. Their personalities show through (does that make me sound odd?)

I really cannot remember what I used. All I know is that it's a lot.

If you really want to know what I used, please ask. I don't mind!

My favorite is the guy on my pointer finger. He looks like a pineapple!

Hahah

I have a lot of great ideas coming up for the rest of October. 

Until tomorrow my pretties!!!

xoxox

Where's My Mummy?

I love the cheesy post titles I've been coming up with. Doing my nails every day during the month of October is a lot of fun. I wish I was better are drawing so I could do some slasher stuff. I might try it tonight.

Base Color: OPI Skull and Glossbones

White and Black acrylic 

Piggy Polish: Noctur-Nail

They glow in the dark!!! 

But since I am horrible at photographing my nails, you will have to image them glowing haha

I was going to do a white base color but decided against it because mummies are old and their wraps are dirty.

So this color made more sense to me!

Such a fan mani! Super easy and super fast to do! Love it!

Until tomorrow my pretties!

The Cat's Meow

Hi hi hi!! So sorry for posting this late. I just got back from our camping trip not too long ago. It was perfect!!! This weekend, the weather here in Boston has been in the 80s which is very odd for October! But it was amazing. The water was warm. The moon was shining bright. There was the most amazing breeze. It was my first time camping too!

Anyways, I really like today's manicure. As I was putting on the top coat, I smiled a huge smile. I didn't except them to turn out this amazing! Ok ok ok enough of me blowing my own horn. Onwards to the manicure!

This has had to have been the quickest manicure I have ever done.

Calavera!!

I was watching Beetlejuice the animated series, I was obsessed with it as a child and am obsessed with it as an adult. I was inspired by a character Jacques LaLean, who is the French skeleton guy from Beetlejuice, and decided to do a mani slightly based off him.

Haul P.2

Like I said, today was an amazing Nail day. I basically was showing my mom the places that I hit up when I go looking for polishes since no two places ever sell the same stuff. So we went to my favorite nail supply store and to Ulta.  I walked out with some goodies.

Haul P.1

Today was an amazing nail day. I went around doing errands with my mother before she got her B12 shot. So we went into the Rite Aid near me (I forgot it existed) and wow. I made out like a fat rat!

PUMPKIN POLISHES!!!!!!

Look at how pretty they are!

They are so pretty!!!!

I didn't find any flakies :( 

They are so bright and so cute. I can't resist them!!

So I turned the corner, to see if I found any flakies 

and to my surprise, look at what I found!!!!!

SNOWMAN POLISHES!!!

There were other colors but I bought these for now since I am in denial about winter being around the corner.

Aren't they so cute!!!

I think it may be about time I buy a Helmers!!

I hope everyone is doing well!!
