Nail of the Week 10/13, 10/20, & 10/27

Because I've been slacking, before I jump into the main event, here are some NOTW from the past few weeks. I should have three, but one manicure died before I remembered to get a picture of it. I hated it anyway because the polish I used had gotten super clumpy, so it's just as well!

Julep Gloria, Essie Turquoise & Caicos, and Nailtini Millionaire

AND NOW...

I'm super excited to share my NOTW this week because I ventured into the world of water decals!

I mentioned before, but I love Sugar Skulls and Dia de Los Muertos. Love it.


I ordered some decals from Etsy, and I was really looking forward to using them. I realized I didn't have a purely orange polish, so I picked up Pure Ice Drive Me Crazy from Walmart for $2. I definitely got what I paid for. Sunday is my nail painting day, and by Tuesday I already had huge chipping. Plus, it's a jelly and I really don't like seeing my nails through polish.

But anyway, for my first attempt at water decals, I'd say these turned out pretty well. I did some reading up on them after, and I think the next time I try things should go more smoothly. I had some issues with getting them centered and straight, especially on my right hand, and the index finger on my right hand got rubbed away somehow, but otherwise I love them!



What do you guys think? I only used four, so I might be rocking these again soon! Who cares if it's not Halloween anymore!?

Fall is here, fall is here

Guys, I love fall.

One of my favorite nail art blogs, Ashley is Polish Addicted has been posting some seriously BEAUTIFUL fall manicures lately, and since I'm a little behind on my blog, I'll share some of those with you.




She does some awesome stuff, and I love seeing it, even if I'm completely incapable of doing anything close.

I have decided, however, that I need to branch out. I did a little research on water decals, and I think they look pretty easy, so I ordered these from Etsy.





I'm super excited to layer them over an orangey-coral polish that I have. Hopefully they turn out pretty well! I'll be showing you either way!
