Fall Into Fashion - Day 1 of a Halloween Nail Art Challenge!

Happy Hump Day everyone! 

I am sure you have all seen the mega-awesome Halloween nail art  challenge on many blogs. I love seeing what they are all coming up with and I considered joining in myself. But after the 31 Day Challenge I didn't really feel like I had another long challenge in me. Plus I am going to be starting back to school in a couple of weeks so I didn't want to commit to a challenge since I am unsure if I will have the proper time to commit to it. Anyway, one of my friends, Danielle over at Polish, Glitter, Rock & Roll, came up with a nice, short Halloween nail art challenge so I decided to join in on that one!

I chopped off my nails last night. Like, really chopped off. I had 3 bad breaks on my right hand and couldn't stand my hands being different lengths. I do have some swatches saved from before I cut them so my nail length will be going back and forth in my posts. This drives me nuts but I don't have a choice right now. LOL Hopefully they grow quickly!

I wasn't sure what to do for today in the challenge so I went with the "Fall" aspect more than the fashion one. I used Zoya Monica as my base and stamped leaves using Nails Inc. Old Bond St and Bundle Monster BM04.

31 Day Challenge Day 21 - Inspired By A Color

Happy evening everyone! I must admit that some of the challenge themes in the last third of this challenge intimidate me a little but I was super excited for today's theme. 

I absolutely LOVE Fall and all of the colors of Fall but I live in Arizona and am surrounded by desert landscaping so I don't get to see the gorgeous colors in person very often. It's still reaching triple digits here so I wanted to bring a little Fall to my life and my readers' lives.

I used the "Saran Wrap" technique (again LOL) for this mani and used the following colors - OPI Chopsticking To My Story (my base), Milani Rapid Cherry, Nails Inc. Fenchurch Street, Nails Inc. Hampstead Gardens, Nails Inc. Old Bond St., OPI Hungary For My Honey and Revlon Espresso. (The OPI polishes were purchased before I went Cruelty-Free and were already in my collection.)
