Halloween Collection Post!

Hi everyone!

Thanks SO much to everyone who participated! You are all extremely talented :) I was so impressed! I didn't get a chance to do my own Halloween mani... : ( On Sunday, I had to take down wallpaper from a room. My nails are completely ruined and are in so much pain. My fingers were bleeding by the time I was done. I should have taken a picture...that would have been appropriate for halloween! LOL

Enjoy the pictures and be sure to check out everyone's blogs!

Call Me - Shinedown

Okay guys, today has officially been the longest day ever and its not even 10 am yet! I leave for charlotte tonight, hopefully around 4pm. I'm meeting up with some of my kentucky friends for a hanson concert. Oh! And Alexis and I will be reunited as well!! I'm so excited! The funny thing is, I feel completely prepared for this trip. Which can only mean one thing. IM NOT PREPARED. Ahhhhhhh. I hate forgetting things.
Completely random sidenote: My friends that will be in charlotte are baking lots of sweets. I can't wait to eat them. Yum.
Anyway. Onto the nails! I used all color club polishes except for the white. Which is of course WNW french white creme. I found this gem of a hand sanitizer on sale at bath and body works and was instantly inspired. Hahaha jk. But I bought it specifically for this mani. I know. I'm a nerd.
Oh! And don't forget to go buy Josiah Lemings new single called 'Too Young' on iTunes. I love itttt :)

What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction

Hey guys! I'm back with more halloween nails!!
Of course one of my favorite movies is nightmare before christmas and one of my friends, desiree, is completely obsessed with it. One day I was at her desk and her background was jack from this movie and I realized I could probably totally draw him on my nails. Soooo I tried it! I like the way it turned out. I might try this again later cause I think it could be part of an aweeeesome mani. But I'm still a beginner!!
Anyway, tell me if y'all like it :)

One Last Song - Josiah Leming

Hi guys! Its me! Sorry I've been MIA lately. I have been busy. I wish I had a super de duper awesome nail post for you today, but I just have an okay post.. Nail wise anyway. I did a simple glitter gradient with a base of zoya's dove with RAINBOW CONNECTION by opi over top!!!! Yes, I found it and I bought the hell out of it! I love the glittery colors!!! I was so excited that merle norman had it lol. Anyway, its SO hard to remove. Duh.
BUT!!!!!!! My favorite tortured musician of all time played a show in our hometown! Yessss. Best thing to happen since I moved back to the stupid town. I love him. It was such a small gathering of people that I got to talk to him for a while and he even made me a cd and drew on it for me :) he's basically the sweetest.
Oh! And I got a new phone as well, its SO hard to blog on :( no bueno. Ill catch up with my halloween nails soon!!

Ghost Song - The Doors

Hi guys!!!!! I'm back with another halloween mani! I'm not really good at making really scary pictures, just sort of cartoon like.. But still. This is so cute, amiright?
I think the pinky nail looks sort of like the mask from SCREAM haha and the other 2 ghosts looks like they're singing LOL. I used WnW polishes for this mani. The base is french white creme and the black is black creme. I used a dotting tool to create the design for the ghosts and a stripping brush for the spider web!
I think my fave part is the spider web, I have a few other halloween designs in mind but I think I might try to add this in somewhere else too! I'm gonna do zombie nails later this week, as well! Soooo excited!
Do y'all like my lil caspers?! :)

Karma - Joss Stone

Hey guys! I just have a quick post for today, I did a semi halloween mani the other day using finger paints military green under china glaze's zombie zest! I LOVE military green... Its soo pretty... And zombie zest is one of my all time favorite glitters....
I thought it might be fun to paint some creepy little guys on my nails as well. I wanted them to look like frankenstein but they didn't turn out quite as well as I hope :( tell me what y'all think!

In The City - Hanson

Ahhhh!!!! I know, I'm a week late on my hanson nails!!!!! You forgive me, right? I wanted to do something inspired by the album that they were going to play the night of the nashville show... Which was Middle Of Nowhere. It was their first album that was released nationally and also the reason I fell in love with them :)
I used the orange polish from the poptastic collection by color club as a base and sponged white polish randomly on the nail, and then I sponged the yellow from the poptastic collection over top of the white... After it was as close to the cover as I wanted... I added nail decals that I custom made with the hanson logo!! I love the way they turned out.
I'm still waiting to here what album won for charlotte... But I'm def going to do some album inspired nails!! You like????
