Halloween!

I figured I would get in gear and actually post some picture stuff! This is what I did for Halloween this year. I KNOW I saw this done somewhere else when I was busy just looking over other nail blogs, but I can not remember where it was. (If you happen to read this, please let me know so I can mention it?)

Anyway, being new to this nail-picture thing, I did the simplest design I could find. So here is what I ended up with!


Candy corn! I started with OPI Nail Envy for Sensitive and Peeling nails as a base coat, then started with Sally Hansen Whirlwind White. I taped off that color with scotch tape (P.S. there are some awesome tape mani designs HERE) and then used a coat of China Glaze Solar Power, followed by a coat of Papaya Punch, also China Glaze. For the dots I used a dotting tool. I topped everything off with a coat of Seche Vite!

As a general disclaimer, please be nice for the horrible pictures and probably glaring issues with my nails/cuticles/clean up efforts! ^_^ This is quite a lot harder than it looks! I hope to do swatches of things someday, but until I get some finer points down I think I will stick to random nail art!

Hopefully there is more to come!

Hello!

Well. I figured I would make a blog just for nails and stuff so that I could do other things on my tumblr. :)

No pictures or anything for starters, but I guess we will get there!
