Glittery candy corn, turquoise crackle

Hi guys! Just some simple stuff today. Decided to go with the ever popular candy corn mani.. I also added some loose glitter to give it a little sparkle. I wanted to be festive for pumpkin picking this weekend! :) Also, can I just mention how much I LOVE candy corn? Omg, so delicious. My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy because I can go through a whole bag in like a day.. don't even get me started on those mellowcreme pumpkins.

Also, here's some pics of my previous simple mani. This is just China Glaze Crushed Candy over OPI DS Glow. I thought it was pretty and nice for the fall weather.

I applied for financial aid for nail school this week, too! The school was really nice and so were the people there. Hopefully I'll be starting up in December!

Well, I hope you all have a great weekend! See you next time.

Heads will roll..

Hello guys.. got some glitter bombing for you today, haha.

I kinda based this mani around the Yeah Yeah Yeahs video for "Heads Will Roll", which is awesome. I got a box of nail art supplies today and wanted to try them out. I used Zoya Luna as a base, then did the blood with China Glaze Phat Santa. While it was still wet, I dusted red micro glitter over it. It's super sparkly in real life, the pictures do it no justice. This was my first time using loose glitter to do anything, it was kind of a pain, but it looks cool. I got the studs in my order and threw some on too. It's hard to tell, but I made Luna matte, so the red really pops against it. All in all, I'm kinda.. eh about this mani. I don't really like it, honestly. However, I'm way too tired to redo it, so I'm stuck with it for a while, lol.

Now, to attempt and get all this loose glitter off everything I own..

Swirly-tipped gradient!

Hey guys! Another simple mani today.. just a gradient with some black and white tips. Another halloween-ish option, I suppose. I don't love it, but I don't totally hate it.. it's just one of those days where I'm not happy with anything I do, y'know? Ah well.

I wanted to do something more intricate, but I've been a mess of nerves lately. This weekend I have a meeting with the director of a cosmetology school I'd like to attend for their nail tech course.. I'm pretty nervous. Fingers crossed that I get the info I need and can hopefully afford to attend!

Beware the kraken!

I love tentacled creatures.. octopi, squid, sea monsters, they're all so neat. I've been wanting to do a tentacle mani and finally got around to it. I used Deborah Lippmann's Across the Universe as my base and I'm so happy I did.. it looks very seawater-y, doesn't it? I like it. And since I'm on a glow kick, the tentacles glow in the dark too! I wish I could get a picture of it, but it never turns out when I try.

I really, really want to try doing a 3d version of this someday.. I think it'd look so cool. Anyway, that's all for me tonight! :)
