Halloween Mani

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!  I'm not the greatest at nail art, but thought I should try some for Halloween...  It's not very complex, but I think it's cute..

Frankenstein and Pumpkins:

I spent days trying to figure out what green to use for Frankenstein's skin and I finally settled on OPI Green-wich Village. lol.  I think it's quite fitting.  The orange I used for the pumpkins was Duri Tangerine Peel and the yellow was Bettina Sunrise.  The white base is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.  

**Did you attempt some nail art for Halloween?  What did you create??**

Enkelini Jeepers Creepers and Striping Tape from Born Pretty

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!  We have a week until Halloween, so I should start posting more Halloween Manis!!  Today I have a really gorgeous indie polish called Jeepers Creepers from Enkelini... then I decided to add some striping tape from Born Pretty for a cool effect.  First up is Jeepers Creepers alone..

Enkelini Jeepers Creepers:

Jeepers Creepers has such a gorgeous vibrant orange base!!  The formula is excellent.. it's semi-sheer and packed with black, silver, orange and white glitters.  There is a gorgeous gold shimmer added to the base also.  I have two coats of Jeepers Creepers followed by topcoat in the above pics.  I own a few Enkelini polishes and they are all exceptional!!  If you'd like to purchase Jeepers Creepers or any other Enkelini polish.. check out their Etsy shop!

For some cool stripes, just add some striping tape after your base polish is completely dry.  You can arrange it whichever direction you'd like.  Make sure each piece of tape is attached securely to you nail, then top with black (or whatever color you want).  While the polish is still wet, carefully peel away each piece of tape..

This one didn't turn out too bad and I really like the pattern!!

You can purchase a set of 12 different colored striping tapes on Born Pretty.  They carry tons of great nail art supplies and you can save 10% if you use my code ZR5X31!!  I'll show you different ways of using striping tape in upcoming posts too!!

Happy Halloween!

Here is a halloween inspired mani..  another orange??  Orange is like my least favorite color on me, but it's halloween and the name of this polish is "Pumpkin," so it seems appropriate...

This orange is Pumpkin by NYC.  Application was a breeze with this one and really only coat would have worked.  Pictured here is 2 coats.

It's shiny and sheer and THE PERFECT  halloween orange!!  You won't see this on me again til next year, so get a good look ;)

So, I thought I'd jazz it up a bit and add this half moon glitter.  This is one of those cute pumpkin shaped polishes they were selling at Rite Aid.  If you look closely at the label, it says "Blue Cross Beauty Products."  Never heard of them, but I'm assuming they make the cute little snowmen polishes Rite Aid has out now.

I really had to work to get those moons out and... Look at the shrinkage!! As soon as I applied this glitter coat, it ruined my orange base :(  Glad I didn't love the manicure enough to keep it on.

Have a great Halloween Night Everyone... I'm off to stalk Llarowe's site so I can win their Scavenger Hunt and all the great prizes!!!
