Melting/Dripping Design

Another Halloween themed nail art design. I thought the green looked nice but a dripping blood design (using red instead of green) would also look great. I used a large dotting tool for this design but if you don't have one you can use the end of a bobby pin. Enjoy!

Step 1-Paint nails white (or whatever you want to use as a base color)

Step 2- Use a large dotting tool to cover the top of your nail and create 3 large dots

Step 3- Use a smaller dotting tool or toothpick to connect the dots to the top of your nail

Step 4- *OPTIONAL* Create a small dot at the tip of your nail to represent a drop falling

Halloween Spider Web Design

Sorry it's late, I was very busy yesterday. For this design you will need orange nail polish and a black nail art pen/striper. 

Step 1: paint nails orange

Step 2: paint 3 curved lines on your nails and one straight line halfway down your thumb

Step3: use a large dotting tool to create a circle on your thumb

Step4: connect the lines with smaller curved lines to create spider webs and add 8 legs to the large circle you just created on your thumb

Contrasting Polka Dots!

This eye-catching design shows best in natural light. It's sure to confuse many as they wonder how the same-colored polka dots show. The answer: matte topcoat! Matte topcoat covers the natural shine from nail polish to give it a flat look. For this design you will need just one color and some matte topcoat. First I painted on two coats of this beautiful purple by Wet n' Wild called "On a Trip". As soon as it dried, I used a thick coat of "Matte Me Crazy" also by Wet n' Wild (purchased from Walmart). Finally I used a large dotting tool to add the polka dots using the same color. DO NOT USE A TOPCOAT, it will ruin the contrasting effect of the matte polish. I hope you enjoy this design. 

Spray Paint Nail Art

This design requires a makeup wedge, white polish, and 3-5 other colors. I love this design because the messier it is, the better it looks. Feel free to leave some areas white, it looks great.

"Turquoise and Caicos" Review

If you  haven't heard of this turquoise color from Essie, you must have been living under a rock. I heard about this color from just about every beauty guru on Youtube. From all of the positive feedback I knew I had to try it out. I visited EVERY store in my area looking for this color. Recently my friend found it at CVS and gave it to me as an early Christmas present. I think now that everyone has gone out and bought it, it will be easier to find. Now for the review: I love it! This color is definitely a turquoise but nothing too wild or crazy. It looks more blue than green and vice versa in different lighting. It reminds of a beautiful Tiffany blue. It matches just about anything you wear so this would be great for any lazy people like me. Best of all, it's Essie so I knew that the quality would be great. All in all, I recommend this color to everyone!

This rainbow ombre nail design was inspired by my best friend's tumblr. Please check her out: http://happiness-in-a-box.tumblr.com/. All you will need is a make-up wedge and some bright colors. I hope you enjoy this design as much as I have.
