Witches' Hats

Hello, Fireflies!

Welcome to another challenge from the Challenge Your Nail Art group!  This month, it's all about the spooky and scary... and cute.  I like cute Halloween.

Today's prompt was to use the classic orange and black colors of the season.  I was inspired by this nailart I found on Pinterest (and again, couldn't find the originator of the art.  Bah.)

I used a couple of Indies to make the background - Polish Addict Jellyfish and Cuttin' Edge Pug Ugly with a little more Jellyfish dabbed on top.

Then, I used my black striper to make the hats, added a stripe of Urban Decay Bang, and stuck on a little jewel for flair.  Witches' be blingin'.

Bottle shot:  Polish Addict Jellyfish, Cuttin Edge Pug Ugly, Urban Decay Bang, and my black striper.

My husband was ever so amused that I was painting pointy witches' hats with a pointy striper.  Isn't that adorable?

Breaking Dawn Hurts

Hello, Fireflies!

Yesterday's post came out kind of late, so just a quick Saturday glob of glitter for you today.  This is Polish Addict Breaking Dawn, a black jelly polish with gold hexes and a few bars.

Gorgeous, right? Oh, what a pain to apply, though.  Goopy, thick.  I did have to add thinner.  Who knows if it was like that all along, or if sitting around my drawers caused some evaporation.  I'm going to work with it because it's just so pretty.

I paired it with a black dress that had gold beading on the bodice.  It complemented my outfit so beautifully!

Have you ever tried to save a wretched polish because it was so pretty?
