Happy Halloweeeeen!

Hi guys!

Just a quick post to say happy Halloween, hope everyone enjoys the day.. even if it's spent snuggled under a duvet watching horror films and pigging out on the sweets for the "trick or treaters". (lets face it, it just makes sense to buy the snacks you like just in case no one turns up!)

I created a simple manicure today as i didn't have the time for a full scale nail art look. *pouts* However i also have my pumpkins to show you!

To create this look i used:

Claire's Accessories - Black

ELF - Fairy Dust

Seche Vite - Top Coat

Barry M - White Nail Art Pen 

This is just to show you how pretty the ELF - Fairy Dust is over a black base.. In day light the red and green glitter shows up amazingly!

Annnd now for the fun part.. my pumpkins! Last year i carved one for the first time and created a cookie monster, but this year i wanted to do something a little different. And so i bring to you.. Painted Despicable Me pumpkins! :)

And there's only one way i can end this post..

Cya tomorrow! Becky x 

33 Day Challenge: A Pattern In Your Home

Hello there!

So today's challenge is to create a mani inspired by a pattern in your home. I thought this was a great idea.. until i realised there isn't a single pattern in my home. The walls are block colours, there isn't a single print on any curtains, sofa's.. even my bed sheet. So, as i was sat watching Homeland earlier and enjoying a cup of tea it hit me.. Let's do a design inspired by my Nightmare Before Christmas mug!

And so, well.. that's what i did.

I can't say i'm over the moon with this design but i do think it matches the mug pretty well! To do this i used a black Claire's Accessories base, then coated that with Sinful Colors - Nail Junkie. I sealed this with Seche Vite and then started sponging on a lime green Claire's polish. I used a Barry M nail art pen to freehand the designs.

Here's a couple of pics to show you how gorgeous Nail Junkie looks over black polish!

Well that's it for today, will hopefully post the ELF swatch on Sunday!
