HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

There's just no way I could not rock out at least

1 Nightmare Before Christmas mani for Halloween this year,

so what better way to celebrate Halloween day with this

Jack Skellington mani!

 Black nails with white stripes, achieved with

Wet n Wild's Black Creme & L.A.Colors Art Deco nail striper in Black

For the accent nail I started with Essie's Marshmallow,

topped it with Pure ICE in Don't You Wish

and then with a Migi nail art pen, I simply drew Jack!

I don't know how much success we'll have today with 

Trick-or-treating, since my area was hit very hard with

Hurricane Sandy, but we'll give it a shot anyway, and Jack 

will be coming with me to keep me company!

I hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday!!

Candy Corn Crackle

Today I've got another

simple but very festive mani, 

Candy Corn Crackle!

 I started with a White base, using Sinful Colors Snow Me White

Then I did a sponge gradient of Orange & Yellow 1/3 way down 

the nail to create me candy corn. 

I used a cosmetic sponge with Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in

Sun Kissed and Mellow Yellow.

Once the gradient was dry, I applied a single layer of 

Barry M.'s Instant Nail Effects crackle polish in Black.

I topped it off with 1 coat of Gelous top coat, 

followed by Out The Door top coat, 

because the crackle really does soak up alot of top coat. 

I could probably even have used a 2nd coat.

 I know most are over the crackle look, 

but I still really love my crackles and I loved the thought of using some for Halloween!

Happy Independence Day!

What do you do when you can't decide between

gradient, stamped, or glitter nails for your holiday manicure?

You choose all three!

 I started with Wet n Wild's French White Creme,

applied a single coat of Dollish Polish It's A Me, Mario!

And then sponged  Sally Hansen's Pacific Blue & All Fired Up on

my tips, alternating the colors on each nail.

Lastly, using Konad plate M3, I stamped silver stars along the

side of each gradient, using Barry M. Instant Nail Effects in Silver Foil

It's raining tons over here on the Eat Coast today,

so who knows if I'll make that BBQ, but at least

my nails look good! 

Happy July 4th all you fellow Americans!
