My Halloween Mani: The Silence Nail Art!

Happy Halloween! I wanted to show you what I'm currently wearing on my nails for the holiday. I am slowly making my way through the tons of nail art ideas inspired by Doctor Who. I thought The Silence would make good, creepy nails for Halloween because they are one of the scariest species on the tv series.

Glam Polish Angry Birds In Space + Nail Art!

Press Sample


Hello, readers! I have another Glam Polish for review today. This one is called Angry Birds in Space and I really like it! The base color really grabbed my attention among the others I got in the package. It's a gorgeous medium periwinkle toned base with neon hex and square glitter. I finally realized it was because its the same color as one of my favorite polishes, Illamasqua Cameo! I think they would go great together layered but I chose to wear Angry Birds In Space on it's own-- it had great coverage at 2 coats.

Tutorial Tuesday: Pond Pumpkins Nail Art!

Hello, readers! Today's Tutorial Tuesday post is my design I posted yesterday: Pond Pumpkins Halloween nail art. I'm actually STILL wearing this mani from Sunday, I love it THAT much! I hope you will recreate it and love it as well!

This is a variation on my earlier Pond Hearts Nail Art Tutorial, which was inspired by this original post by Olive View Fashion. I just wanted to show how versatile this pond mani technique can be by showing a "halloween version."

A few tips before I begin the tutorial:

  • For this technique, you have to use a jelly polish(I've used OPI Ya'll Come Back Ya Hear? from the Texas Collection). It just really won't work the right way with non-jelly polishes. If you don't have any, you can always add some colored polish to a clear polish bottle and mix together to make a jelly. 
  • You have a lot of waiting in between steps to let the layers dry. Don't rush it or you will smear your pumpkins. So I recommend turning on Netflix and catching up on some Doctor Who or The Vampire Diaries while you wait in between each layer. ;)

Here is a preview of the tutorial. You will find bigger pictures and step by step instructions further down in this post:
