Twinsie Tuesday... Halloween!

Good morning everyone! Happy Tuesday! And happy Halloween! I don't really get into holidays much, including Halloween. I've never really been interested in it, even as a kid. But I do love Halloween nail art and cute kids (and puppies) in costumes.

For this weeks nails I went pretty simple just using "Halloween" colors.


For this look I started with OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. Then using the dry brush (or grunge) technique I added OPI Funky Dunkey, You're So Outta Lime, A Good Man-Darin is Hard to Find, Black Onyx, and This Gown Needs a Crown. Then I Topped it off with HK Girl quick dry top coat by Glisten and Glow, once it was dry I added NOPI Matte Topcoat. 

I love this look! Dry brush is a favorite technique, have you tried it? If not, you should!!!

Twinsie Tuesday: I've Been Meaning To....

Hey everyone!!! Long time no see! I took a hiatus for vacation, then when we got home life got kind of crazy. But now I'm back and hopefully I can get back into posting more frequently. For now, Twinsie Tuesday!!!

This weeks prompt is I've Been Meaning To.... Basically anything we've been meaning to do. For me that was easy, I've been meaning to do anything with my nails! For a long time I've wanted to try ikat nails and I figured this was perfect excuse. :) There are a lot of tutorials for this design online, I followed one on The Budget Babe


For my base I used OPI My Dogsled is a Hybrid. (Thank you Bridget!) I then painted the design with acrylic paint. 

Overall I'm pretty happy with these. I see some things I would like to fix, but it's my first nail art in ages and my first time trying ikat, so I think I did pretty good!

Thank you all for reading! Be sure to check out the other Twinsies blogs linked below!
