The Digit-al Dozen DOES Spooky Days, Day 1: Glowing Jack 'O Lanterns (#LLAfterDark)

Good morning, readers! Today is the beginning of an extra Digit-al Dozen nail art week! We really wanted to fit in some Halloween manis this month so some of us are joining in to bring you more Halloween nail ideas before the big day. Today is also this month's Lacquer Legion day with the prompt: After Dark. So I'm combining both prompts and I'm showing my spookiest manicure for the week: Glowing Jack 'O Lanterns! I'm sure you will see plenty of these if you go trick or treating this Halloween!

#LLCrisp: Rice Krispies Treats Nails

Good afternoon, readers! It's this month's nail art day with The Lacquer Legion and the prompt is "Crisp." Instead of doing something seasonally appropriate as the days grow cooler, I've made my nails into Rice Krispies Treats...literally.

The Lacquer Legion, Fandom: The Pandorica Opens

Good morning!! I am so excited to be participating in this month's Lacquer Legion nail art prompt! #LLFandom is right up my nail art alley, and of course I had to go with another Doctor Who themed mani! This time, I extended my "exploding TARDIS" design a bit more: I've included part of The Pandorica Opens (exploding TARDIS) painting, The Pandorica, and the crack. They all are connected in the part 2 finale of Doctor Who, Season 5 so why not put them all together?

The Lacquer Legion, Glam: Turquoise and Gold!

Hello, readers! It's time for this month's nail art prompt with The Lacquer Legion: Glam! I automatically think of gold when it comes to glam so I paired it with one of my favorite Dior polishes: Saint Tropez! I don't own many high end polishes so of course wearing one also adds to the glamorous feeling.

The Lacquer Legion, Adoration: Textured Chevron Tape Mani!

Press Sample

Good morning, readers! It's time for the monthly nail art challenge with The Lacquer Legion and this month's prompt is "adoration." You can go to The Lacquer Legion on Facebook for more info on how to join in! I was having a difficult time with this prompt and realized I was over complicating things. Instead of focusing on nail art for the many people and things in my life I adore, I took it down to the basics of some of the things I adore in nail art! Textured polishes, tape manis, turquoise, purple, and one of my fellow nail art bloggers I adore the most: Sarah from Chalkboard Nails! 

The Lacquer Legion, Reinvention: Steam Punk Nail Art!

Hello, readers! Have you heard of The Lacquer Legion? It's a monthly nail art challenge to connect the nail polish community and I am so excited I was able to find the time to join in for this month's theme! You can go check out The Lacquer Legion on Facebook for some more info. This month's theme was "Reinvention" and it took me a bit to decide what to do for that. It was so broad that it was troubling me but as soon as I asked the hubby, he told me Steampunk would be great because a big part of it is taking things and reinventing them.

I was really excited because I haven't done steampunk nails before and I had to figure out what aspect I wanted to bring to the nail art. Gears and clockwork are what I instantly thought of, as well as those neat blimp-looking air ships. I decided to go with a sketch of an "airship" for my accent nail and various gears on the other nails.
