Halloween Nails to the Max

Health and Beauty - 4 Comments » - Posted on October, 21 at 4:44 pm

It’s been a long time since I posted here, hasn’t it? Only befitting that I return to regular blogging in the month of my favorite holiday and with a whimsical post then! :pumpkin:

All October long I’ve been painting my nails in Halloween colors. For the first week of October/last week of September they were just solid orange with black tips. For the second week of October I left them mostly clear and tipped them in orange with a thin black stripe between the clear and orange and the finger next to the pinkie on both hands had a jack-o-lantern face. But for the last stretch of Halloween I really wanted to go all. Initially all month long my nails were going to be done in a candy corn fashion with the thumbs and middle fingers being jack-o-lanterns, but since my yellow nail polish was dried out I nixed that idea. Instead I decided to try my hand at a variety of styles. Naturally my left hand has the more detailed stuff and just looks better, not surprising since I am right-handed, but even the right hand came out pretty good this time.

    Hello!!! Was really happy to see you pop up in my feeds and with HALLOWEEN NAILS, too! Yay! :pumpkin: Your nails look awesome! Never thought to get that crafty with my nails for Halloween. I have been known to Christmasify my nails, but for some reason never thought to do it for my favourite holiday!

    Awesome nails! I can’t do that on my nails, so I have them done professionally. :) I haven’t done Halloween yet (unless you count that my nails are currently Frankenstein green), but next week when I get them done, they’ll be black with spiderwebs. :)

    Cat,
    Aww, I’m so glad to hear that! It’s great to be back actually. I allowed stress and unpleasantness from certain IRL people to take away something I love (blogging) and I’m hoping to begin taking that back. I don’t know when I’ll start up on my book review blog again, just because I get so little time to read now a days that it takes forever to finish a book, but I hope to return to that as well.

    Did you get a chance to do your nails for Halloween after all? I must admit, I generally go simple for Halloween, despite it being my favorite holiday as well, but this year I really wanted to be creative.

    Ooh, Christmasfy…you must take pictures of your nails when you do them this year!

    Charity,

    That sounds like a cool design to get, are you going to post pictures?

    I just can’t go get my nails done professionally. Simply because I don’t have the patience to sit there for them to do them (at home at leas when my nails are wet I can watch a movie, surf the net, read, something) and I’m just stingy. :P Just can’t pay someone to do something I can kinda-sorta do on my own. LOL
