Halloween Nail Art Challenge: Pumpkin

Happy October! I can't believe this year has flown by! So many changes and surprises, I can't believe it's winding down already. Anyway ... I mentioned recently that I was going to be participating in a Halloween Nail Art Challenge and today is the first day! It's a nail art challenge every four days so hopefully I'll actually post on time. ^.^

By the way, it's not too late to join! If you want to join in the fun, grab the code at the bottom to add the widget to your page and add your nail art to the ones below! Easy peasy.

Today's prompt is Pumpkin. I went a step further with it and did a jack-o-lantern type nail art. Hope you like!

Once In A Blue Mousse

Still working my way through the Lime Crime swatches ... =) I'm going to go back and add these to the original post as I get them done.

Lime Crime Once In A Blue Mousse is a fabulous robin's egg blue that applied like a dream. One coat is enough, but I did two for swatching purposes.

Midnight Cowgirl

I've been on a gold and green kick as of late. I have no idea why. Maybe I'm ready to transition into fall? It's been chilly here lately. Back home in Texas it's in the 90s, here it's in the 60s. I'm not sure I'm going to make it this winter!

I chose to do a simple gold and green look that focused on the lid area and blended out the colors with my bronzer in the crease. I got that tip from Pixiwoo! Sam likes to blend out her smokey eyes with bronzer in the crease and I just figured, if it's good enough for smokey eyes, it's good enough for these! =P

Halloween Nail Art Challenge! Who's In?!?

Hiya!! I can't believe I forgot to post this beforehand, but starting Oct 1 there are a bunch of us doing a Halloween inspired nail art challenge. It's every three days (essentially twice weekly) for the entire month of October.

Maybe this time I'll be on time with my posts!! haha One can hope anyway ...

I'd love for more people to get involved, so please think about it and let me (or Theo or Isabella) know if you're interested.

Barielle Dazzling Diamonds Collection

I have another 5-fer treat for you today! Barielle has another 5-pc collection out and this time it's GLITTER.

Barielle Dazzling Diamonds is a set of 5 glitters, four in a clear base and one in a tinted base. Most of them are ideal for layering but there is one that would be a nice full coverage glitter.

Barielle Cherry Sparkler is a hot pink glitter in a tinted pink base. The base will change the color of your base polish if you have something in a different color family or a light polish. Here I've used one coat over Barielle Life of the Party and three coats on a bare nail on the middle finger. You almost can't tell the difference with a base coat as the tinted base will also build opacity quickly.
