NOTD: Jack Skellington Nails

My all time favorite movie is The Nightmare Before Christmas. Jack Skellington is also one of my favorite Disney characters. Plus, Jack & Sally are my favorite fictional couple. So, you can imagine how much I love The Nightmare Before Christmas. I thought a NBC themed design would be great for Halloween. I did Jack themed nails. 
I know they aren't perfect, but I love them regardless ! Happy Halloween !

NOTD: Spider Web Nails

So, I couldn't just leave my nails plain. If you read my last post you know what I'm talking about. I decided upon spider webs, since I'm doing all Halloween designs until November.

L.A. Colors 'Jewel Tone' (over black)

I have had a long busy weekend, and my previous design peeled off on one finger. I could not just leave my nails like that, but I was tired. Considering this, I chose something simple, yet gorgeous. What I decided to do was top a glitter polish over black, and I chose an L.A. Colors glitter. I love this look. It's gorgeous.


Polish Used 
1. Sinful Colors - Black on Black
2. L.A. Colors - Jewel Tone

NOTD: Cupcake Nails

The inspiration from this look came from a blog I follow on Tumblr. It's a nail blog, and they have weekly themes. Where people do designs on their nails to go with the theme for that week, and at the end of the week the blog puts up a vote including all the submissions. On Saturday's whoever has the most votes wins, and their submission is the blogs profile picture until the next week when someone else wins. If that made sense. ANYWAYS, this weeks theme is cupcake nails, for the bloggers birthday. & I wanted to submit a picture, so I of course had to do cupcake nails. I put A LOT OF WORK into this design. A LOT. Took me about an hour per hand.

Anyways, enough blib-blab. Here is the design I came up with. 


Cute right? I LOVE THIS DESIGN ! I think I might wear it for a week, and I usually paint my nails every other day. 

Colors Used

  1. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Celeb City
  2. Revlon - Make Mine Mango
  3. Julep - Hayden
  4. Funky Fingers - Confetti
  5. Sinful Colors - Nirvana
  6. Folk Art Acrylic Paint - Licorice
  7. Folk Art Acrylic Paint - Wicker White
