Last Halloween Nails

I changed my mind about my Halloween nails.  I loved the red flakies but I really fancied something more green.  So I did exactly the same (China Glaze - Liquid Leather) but this time I put Nfu Oh No. 52 (aka Distraction) over the top.  This created a wonderful 'sea-serpent' green.  Every so often the light caught the green flakies which looked absolutely stunning! (yes I am holding a cuddly bat!)
That's it now! No more Halloween nails until next year.  Boooooo!
And just so he doesn't feel left out..... this is Arthur the Spider.....

I hope you all had a fab Halloween.

Here are some pix of my party preparations! 

Chanel's Trapeze

OK I'm feeling better today! I think my problem is is that I'm overtired and things always seem a lot worse when one is overtired!  Right so back to what I love to do....... I went out on Thursday with my BFF and saw Chanel's Christmas release.  There were three polishes in the release including two pinky and coral-like colours and then this one called Trapeze, which I had to have! (Yes I know, I know ... No Buy Until November ...blah blah blah!)  At first glance it looks like a dirty silver colour but when it's on it's more of a silvery beige colour.  It's a very pretty colour but I can see a fabulous Konad coming on!  Watch this space!  I used 3 coats to get good coverage.

My Halloween Nails

I was throwing some ideas around as to what to do for my Halloween nail design.  Do I do all black?  Or should I do a vampy red?  Or what about "bloody nails" or how about white with some black bat designs.... oh the decisions to make!  So I thought about my costume.  I am going as a Morticia/ Vampy princess type lady with a dress that has fabulous long sleeves.  I also have a purple wig (which, I have to say I want to wear all the time... or at least dye my hair that colour!)  I'm going to do heavy eye make up and wear black tights with purple sparkly spider webs!  So my nails?  Well I've tried this combination of China Glaze's Liquid Leather with Nfu Oh's no. 60 on top.  The light catches the red in the flakies which  look amazing.  I apologise about the pix but I have been preparing the party all day and have had no time for my nails.  I have had to do these at night!   I might try Liquid Leather with Nfu Oh's 52 (aka Distraction) since my dress has green in it.  We'll see if I have time tomorrow before the party!

I don't know why but I'm feeling a little under the weather tonight.  My hubby has been working hard the past few days (obviously trying to fund my polish habit!) and he doesn't get home until 10 tonight.  He's working all day tomorrow until 7 and then all day Sunday.  I feel quite lonely at the mo.  I know that sounds really sappy... I apologise.  I don't feel under the weather because he's working but he's usually so good of making me feel better and he hasn't been here to do that.   I love that I have my blog and, although I'm new, I have felt very welcomed into this community.... so thank you all.x   Anyway sorry for waffling, I just needed to get that off my chest!  I'll feel better tomorrow xx

Halloween Party

I want you all to think of me tomorrow and pray for my safety.  I have sixteen 8 year olds coming over for a party.  Need I say anymore!
I'm going to the supermarket to finish off my food shopping and stock up on my wine supply! I won't be drinking when the children are here of course...... I mean I  have to be responsible after all, but boy will I be tucking into that wine after the party!!!!!

Oh the things we do for our children!

Spooky Eyes!

I used to love Scooby-Doo as a child and since Halloween is coming up I thought I would do some nail art in tribute to the spooky eyes that you see whenever the team investigate somewhere haunted!  I used 2 coats of China Glaze's Liquid Leather then, using a yellow Barry M, I dotted some eyes with a thin brush and dragged the sides out to form a cats-eye shape. Afterwards I dotted some black in the centre to make it look like cats-eyes.

Spooky!!!
