Halloween Sprinkles Nail Art!

REMINDER: My blog sale is still live! I just added some new polishes to it yesterday, and reduced the prices on almost everything on there! There's still about 80 polishes available in the sale. :)

----------------------------

After recreating jauntyjuli's Halloween Cupcake manicure the other day, I really wanted to do some more Halloween nail art. I'm not into anything gory or creepy though, so I still wanted to keep it cutesy.

I find it quite hard to come up with my own designs for nail art and usually end up doing recreations of other manicures I've seen online, but this design I didn't recreate! I came up with it on my own. :D I was quite proud of that, even though it's a fairly basic design haha.

I've seen sprinkle/icecream manicures many times before - but never a Halloween icecream/sprinkle manicure! :D

For this design I used:
Sinful Colors Black on Black
Essie Fear or Desire
Born Pretty Store Glow in the Dark polish #03 {layered over 1 coat of white}
Essie Play Date
Femme Fatale Cosmetics Tricky Treat {discontinued - sorry!}

On my right hand I used the same colours, but mixed up the design.
On the black nails I did a polka dot design, kept the glitter on the ring finger the same, and stamped on my pointer and middle finger with Winstonia plate W116. I haven't stamped in a while so it's pretty rusty but it'll do, hehe.

This is by far the craziest nails I have worn... maybe ever! Yes, I did leave the house wearing these nails. :| Most of the time when I do nail art that's not subtle, it's just for fun and I don't actually wear it as a manicure. Buuuut, these I did.

Hope you enjoyed. Thanks for visiting ♥

Halloween Cupcakes {Inspired by jauntyjuli}

It's almost Halloween and I haven't done any nail art in forever, so I decided I'd do some Halloween nail art!

We don't really celebrate Halloween here, as I've said before; but I still wanted to do some festive nail art.
Halloween is becoming more and more popular here every year, though. Mainly for children who want an excuse to get chocolate & dress up, and teenagers {and probably some adults as well} who probably want to have a party & dress up too. LOL.
I've never actually celebrated Halloween myself. Some of the food and decorations that come out in the shops are pretty cute, though! :D

I saw {this freakin' adorable design} by JauntyJuli on YouTube and I knew right away I had to recreate it because it's the cutest Halloween nail art I have seen by far! Halloween Cupcakes! My version is nowhere near as good as her's but I still think it is so cute. ♥

I used so many polishes for this design so I won't list them here, but if you do want to know what a certain colour is, just leave a comment.

Thanks for visiting ♥ If you have any {easy} nail art requests, please leave me a comment! I'm not good at coming up with designs. I get inspired by a lot of things I see, but don't know how to execute it on my nails. So suggestions/requests would be lovely. :)

What's In-die Box? {October - Little Box of Horrors} Swatches & Review

Hello lovelies! Today I have swatches of the October What's In-die Box to share with you! I showed you the July What's In-die Box a few months back, which you can check out {here}. That post contains an explanation of what exactly this box is, but it's basically a monthly box containing 5 Australian indie nail polishes, all based around a theme!

October's theme for the In-die Box is Little Box of Horrors. So all the polishes are Halloween themed which is really cool, since I actually only own one or two Halloween appropriate nail polishes!

{ If you don't want to see swatches because you're waiting for your box to come - DON'T READ ANY FURTHER! }
