GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE OCTOBER—Zombie 🧟‍♀️

Hello lovelies & happy Monday! & happy Halloween Eve!

Today is our last prompt for Glam Nails Challenge October! Can you believe it?! This is kind of crazy. But I’m very excited because the prompt is Zombie & it gave me an opportunity to recreate a design I saw earlier this month on the Essie instagram.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essence Colour Grip Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive
  • Matte Top Coat: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Matte Top Coat
  • Essie Willow in the Wind
  • Essie (Un)Guilty Pleasures
  • Essie No More Film
  • NailStuff.ca 7mm Mermaid Tail Liner Brush

When I saw I’m obsessed with this design, I am obsessed. This turned out better than I could have ever imagined, & totally gives off the zombie design I was going for. This is a fantastic Halloween look, & it might be my favourite of all the designs I’ve done this month!

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE OCTOBER—Graveyard 🪦💀

Hello loves & happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day. I’m excited, because I have another fun prompt for Glam Nails Challenge October — & I’m super happy with how my latest manicure turned out!

The next prompt is graveyard, & I decided to do something a little bit different than what I usually do. I hope you think it’s as fun & spooky as I do.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive
  • Sephora Formula X Hypnotize
  • Fraken Grey
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri Ghouls Night Out
  • NailStuff.ca Mermaid Tail Brush Trio (11mm liner brush)

I had this idea in my head about turning my whole hand into the graveyard by painting a gravestone on each nail, & I think I successfully captured my vision. It makes me really happy that I managed to bring my idea to life!

What do you think about this design? Does the prompt pop right out to you? Can you believe we only have one more prompt left to go? Crazy!

Have a lovely Wednesday. ♥︎

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE OCTOBER—Full Moon 🌙 🦇

Hello lovelies & happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. It’s a new week, & we’re getting very close to the end of Glam Nails Challenge October. Kind of crazy to believe that Halloween is in little more than a week.

Today, I’m jumping into the next prompt for this challenge: Full Moon. Honestly, I struggled a lot with this one for some reason. I was feeling less than inspired, but after a bit of brain storming, I think the end design I created perfectly encapsulates the prompt.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive
  • Orly Fowl Play
  • Acrylic Paint
  • NailStuff.ca Mermaid Tail Brush Trio (11mm liner brush)

I decided to go with acrylic paint to create my design—versus nail polish—because I wanted the ability to start over easily if I needed to without removing everything. Not my cleanest design, but I do like the spooky trees & the brightness of the glowing full moon. & my little wonky bats.

Also a design that benefits from looking at it far away, haha. But I love it none the less.

What do you think about my full moon design for Glam Nails Challenge October? Are you enjoying these spooky designs? Let me know what you think, & stay tuned for a few more spooky looks to come!

Happy Monday. 🖤

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE OCTOBER— Jack O Lantern 🎃🎃

Good morning lovelies & happy Wednesday! It’s halfway to the weekend, a little more than halfway to Halloween — it’s a good day! Today we’re continuing with our manicures for Glam Nails Challenge October, & the next prompt is Jack O Lantern.

Now, I know I literally just posted a manicure using nail art stickers, & I really try not to post the same kind of nail art two posts in a row. But when I saw the next prompt for Glam Nails Challenge, I knew that I had to use these Jack O Lantern nail art stickers stickers, even if I was repeating.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
  • ‘Ard As Nails Not Your Mama’s Pumpkin Spice
  • Dollarama Halloween Nail Art Stickers

First off, excited to be wearing this gorgeous ‘Ard As Nails shade again as its name is perfect for this theme! It has a fun hint of holo glitter, & the pumpin-y orange fits right in. & then these stickers — how freaking cute as these stickers?! Nail Art stickers really are the answer to easy nail art, & I love them. These ones, like my previous manicure, were purchased c/o: my local Dollarama store (I think last year) but you can find lots of cute Halloween nail art stickers at places like NailStuff.ca — she just got in a bunch of new arrivals — & Amazon. I’ve also seen this Wet N Wild Fantasy Makers stickers at my local Walmart as well.

I’m definitely already getting excited to stock up on some for Christmas as well!

What do you think of this Jack O Lantern design? Do you think that Halloween stickers make for a great nail art look? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below! & stay tuned because we only have a few more Glam Nails Challenge nail art looks to go.

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE OCTOBER— Skull 💀

Hello lovelies & happy Monday! It’s a brand new week, & we’re officially half way through October. This month is just speeding by!

Today I’m excited to show off my next prompt for Glam Nails Challenge October — skull. For this look, I went super easy with the nail, but I still think this look turned out awesome!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
  • OPI Black Cherry Chutney
  • Starrily Eclipse
  • Dollarama Halloween Nail Art Stickers

I know I’ve shared before how much I love nail art stickers, & these Halloween themed ones I found at Dollarama (Canadian dollar store chain) are my absolute favourite!

I love love love a good skull design anyways, but I think the simplicity of the skull over the dark holographic base is just perfection. Spooky, but also quite chic. & I got lots of compliments on these when I wore them to work (matching in my favourite H&M skeleton dress).

What do you think about my skull design for Glam Nails Challenge October? Which design has been your favourite so far? Let me know in the comments below!

Happy Monday 🖤
