HalloWEDNESDAY! I Broke the Mold

Have you noticed that all my Halloween posts have been grotesque or creepy? Today is no different, I've got moldy, mossy, nasty nail art for you today! Only one more HalloWEDNESDAY left, and that will be Halloween, so I have to think of something extra wicked. (In more ways than one!) What do you guys think of the creepy nail art? Are you more of a creepy/gross nail art fan or do you prefer the cutesy/fun kind? 

The design I came up with for today utilizes flocking powder, and actually benefits from the staining on my nails. (YES, I use basecoat EVERY time I paint my nails, not sure why they stain so badly!) They were most recently stained by Zoya Kimber, which I used in my BCA design. That polish is actually pretty gorgeous, but man did it stain! (worth it!!)

Would you wear this design? Tell me why or why not in the comments!

Tutorial to come! :)

I used: 

Olive Green: Zoya Dree

Dark Green: Zoya Envy

Green flocking powder

Basecoat: Cult Nails Get it On

Check out this cool moth that was hangin' out by the fluorescent light outside!

Moonicure Monday - I Always Feel Like...

... Somebody's watchin' meeeee.

This week's Moonicure Monday post is a day late, and for that I'm sorry, but this blogger fell asleep in a rather uncomfortable position (across 2 chairs) last night before I could do the Monday post. Guess staying up to do the Dexter post Sunday night wasn't the best of ideas, I didn't get to bed til 3:30 a.m., and had to wake up at 7 a.m. Super fun. However, that said- the season premiere of Dexter was fan-freakin-tastic. Probably the best season premiere I've seen! If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it, and if you don't have Showtime, they've uploaded it to their YouTube for FREE! Very awesome, if you ask me.

Anyway, this design is creeping me out in the worst way. Not sure it'll last long! lol *shudder*  It's not even a Halloween one!! (hint hint- that will come tomorrow!! :D)

Day 100

Ok, so I got this comment on my personal Facebook page from a friend in my hometown in Michigan. It was from, Julie, the woman who used to cut my hair when I was still living at home, and gave me some of the most super awesome prom do's that NO ONE else had... She commented on a post of mine with some fabulous nail ideas, and one of them was one I just couldn't resist- teeth with braces!!! I'd been toying around with the idea of teeth for a while, but couldn't really think of what would make them 'pop', so to speak, so her comment about the braces hit the nail on the head. Even better, the show Ugly Betty, which I love, airs on Wednesday nights, so I thought it was the perfect design to do for today!! ( I even painted them WHILE watching Ugly Betty!! :-P) Not gonna lie, I love them, even though they creep me out a bit. It makes me kinda laugh because my nail shape really looks like a tooth shape. *shudder* :-P

Man, that one tooth is way out of line... perhaps thats why braces were needed. ;)



Just the 'incisors'




I used American Apparel Cotton as a base, and couldn't have ever come up with a more perfect tooth color, even though this particular American Apparel polish takes 4 coats to be opaque, I happen to love it, and it's become my go-to white/off-white. For the gums, I used a mix of American Apparel Palm Springs and China Glaze Salsa to get the 'gummy' color. For the braces, I used China Glaze Millennium, and mixed it with China Glaze Liquid Leather to shade. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat, because every smile should shine!! :-P

Dentists/Dental Hygienists, are my 'gums' healthy, or should I floss more? ;)

Thanks, Julie!!!! :)
