Purple Spider Nails.

I loved this manicure when I saw it last year and I knew I'd have to do it for myself when Halloween finally came around again! 



The base color is Revlon Facets of Fuchsia, a polish I've been waiting to use for about as long as I've been waiting to try this design! The spiders are from the BM-13 plate and I stamped with Sally Hansen Silver Sweet. I finished things off with purple rhinestones from a wheel from Amazon.

The glitter and rhinestone combination make the spiders almost feminine! I love how it turned out.

Yellow Umbrella Nails.

I decided to do a very weather appropriate manicure for today!



The base color for these nails is Revlon Blue Lagoon with Wet n Wild Blue Wants to be a Millionaire layered on top. The umbrellas are done in acrylic paint.

I wasn't sure what color to go with for the umbrellas, but I think yellow ended up being the perfect choice. It makes the manicure extra bright and fun.

Tombstone Nails.

Tombstones are perfect for a little Halloween nail art!

I used CND Oilslick as my base color and did everything else with acrylic paint. 


I applied a thick topcoat before things were dry to make the letters bleed a little, I thought it added nicely to the spookiness.

Past Halloween Nails.

I have a few Halloween manicures in mind for this year, but before I get to those I thought I'd share my favorites that I wore last Halloween!


These eye nails were completely inspired by this manicure and tutorial. I really loved them, I think they're the perfect mix of creepy and fun.


Scream is my favorite scary movie, so of course a Ghostface accent nail is perfect, and the rest of the nails are nice and creepy.


This manicure just screams Halloween to me with all the orange and black and spiders. Normally I wouldn't want spiders anywhere near me, but somehow on the nails they manage to be pretty cool!

Sugar Skull Nails.

I've seen so many cute sugar skull nail designs that I finally had to try it for myself.



I figured I couldn't go wrong with doing mine with neon polishes, so I used China Glaze Pink Voltage and In the Limelight, Claires Marine Blue, Color Club Wink Wink Twinkle and You Got Soul-ar. The white is Milani White on the Spot and the black is CND Oilslick.

Purple Paisley Gradient Nails.

I decided I wanted to stamp something today, but wasn't sure what so I started by just doing a gradient. 

I really love the color combination I ended up choosing, OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender, Ate Berries in the Canaries, and We'll Always Have Paris. 



Once the gradient was completed I decided to use an image from Konad M60 and stamped with the Konad Special White polish. I finished off the manicure with a coat of CND Violet Shimmer, which adds a nice and very subtle shimmer.
