Fun Frankenstein Stitch Halloween Nails 🧟

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday. A rainy, messy, not fun Wednesday at that. I know I’ve been super off on my posting schedule — I had such big plans for October manicures. But I’m still trying my best to truck along & share some fun nail art looks.

& what is more fun than Frankenstein inspired stitch nails?

Do I do a version of this look every year? Yes. Does it ever get old to me? Not at all.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Sinful Colors Power Paint Top Coat + Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Feelin’ Grape
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri Pump-kid
  • China Glaze Shore Snuff
  • NailStuff Essentials Raven
  • NailStuff 7mm Mermaid Tail Liner Brush

I love how colourful these colours are! This is the same colour scheme I used for my Halloween Inspired Dotticure — maybe because they were still sitting on my bedside table — but they work perfectly for this Halloween stitch look. Also, we all know I love a somewhat negative space design, & this is the perfect design for that.

& you wouldn’t believe how many compliments I got on this look! I wore them to work, & so many people commented on how cool they were. That made me so happy!

What do you think of this colour block/halloween stitch/Frankenstein inspired look. I’m not entirely sure which way is best to describe them, but I really really love them!

Happy Wednesday loves!

Autumn Gloom Floral

Hello lovelies & happy Monday.

Autumn is in full swing, & I’m loving every moment. There is nothing better than the ‘Ber months. Flannel days, hot cider, all things pumpkin spice — I couldn’t ask for more.

Naturally I’ve been drawn towards darker colour on my nails, as you’ve probably all noticed. I decided, though, there wasn’t enough floral happening so I decided to hand paint some pretty floral on my nails, but still keep with the deep dark jewel tones which have been calling to me.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Sinful Colors Power Paint Top Coat + Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
  • Color Club Jewel of A Girl
  • & then a whole bunch of Color Club shades that don’t have names listed (purchased in multipacks at Winners/Marshalls)
  • NailStuff 7mm Mermaid Tail Liner Brush

I’m pretty proud of how these turned out. The colours really compliment the shimmery jewel tone of Jewel of A Girl, & pop very nicely. I did use a ton of shades for this look, but literally none (except my base) had a name on it. I actually have a lot of Color Club shades I don’t use very often because they’re nameless.

Maybe someday I’ll do some investigation to figure out what they’re names are, but today is not that day.

What do you think of this gloomy Autumn floral? Do you like this vibe?

We’re only a couple days away from October, so I’m already starting to plan what I’m going to do for the month — pumpkins, & ghosts & spooky vibes are definitely on the list!

Happy Monday loves. Enjoy it.
