Happy Halloween Spiders

Happy Halloween Loves, 

It's Halloween Day!!! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays of the year. I love dressing up, the colors, the scary stuff and well, black cats, duh :) :) :) 

This is my last Halloween mani of this year. I did do quite a few this year and it made me happy. Halloween nails are so fun to do in my opinion. Of course this year there is nothing to do or no parties to attend so yesterday at work I did wear some cat ears and some black cat leggings to celebrate. I sure do hope next year is back to normal-ish and we can do Halloween then, sigh. 

Today's nails are some super simple spider and cobweb stamping. Parts of these images did not pick up that well for me, not sure if it was the polish, the stamper, me just having an off stamping day or a combo of all the above, oh well, such is the nail life sometimes! 

My base is Finger Paints "Hey Mr. DJ!". I stamped with Whats Up Nails "Silver Ag-ent" and Uber Chic Halloween 02 and Moyra 83 Fall in Love plates.




Hey, Mr. DJ! on it's own, love, love, love these types of polishes with silver sparkle in them. 

That's all for today. Have a great Halloween. I'm having a pretty quiet day until my sister comes in tonight for our weekly hangout session. 

I leave you with my co-worker/also one of my best friends, Nancy, with our cat ears on at work yesterday :) Talk to you soon!

Wolves Howling At the Moon

Happy Sunday Loves, 

Just a quick post today of the next in line Halloween nails I did yesterday of some wolves howling at the moon in a graveyard shadow stamping. This is only the second time I've done shadow stamping so still trying to get good at it 😛 I do love this gradient background! It's pretty I think!

My base is China Glaze "First Mate". I did the gradient using "First Mate", China Glaze "I Sea the Point" and Essie "Pret-o-Surfer". I stamped first with Hit the Bottle "Looking for Mr. Grey"  then Konad black stamping polishes with Nicole Diary L-12 and Whats Up Nails B031 and B036 plates. To finish I put a coat of Holo Taco "Aurora Unicorn Skin". 



   
  First Mate by itself. I have loved this polish for a long time 😊

That's  all today. Have a great rest of Sunday. Talk to you this week with some more Halloween nails.

Jack Skellington (in holo), Yes, Please!

Happy Fri-Yay Loves 

It's Friday, yay, yay, yay :) Not that anything goes on on the weekends right now, but still yay for Fri-Yay :) 

Today I have the next mani in line this year for Halloween. I still have around 3 or 4 I want to get done before Halloween so you'll be seeing me lots in the coming week, lol. 

Today's nails are Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas, a movie I love very much! And, what is better than making Jack in holo? Not much in my opinion :) I think these came out cute and they were super fast and super easy to do! 

My base is Cupcake Polish "Look At You Go-Go". I did the black with a black striper and the glitter is Finger Paints "Th-Ink Outside the Box".




                                     Look At You Go_Go on it's own, love, love, this gray holo!!!

That's it for today! Have a great Friday, talk to you this weekend!

You Won't Get Ghosted By These Ghosts

Happy Hump Day My Loves, 

I hope you are well, staying healthy and staying safe. I am great my way! 

Super quick post for you today since I am posting this really early before work. Today I have some super cute reverse stamped ghosts I did this past weekend. I think these turned out too cute and hope you enjoy them too :) 

My base is P.O.P. Polish "Rum Raisin". I used images from Maniology M056, Born Pretty L057 and Creative Shop 106 plates with Twinkled T gray stamping polish. I colored the images in with Sinful Colors "Snow Me White".





                                               Rum Raisin on it's own, such a pretty holo! 

That's it for today. I'll talk to you again in the next day or so when I post the super cute holo Jack Skellington nails I did last night! Have a great day! No kitty picture today. I have some that I need to edit so cat pics back next post, lol :)

Bloodshot Eyeballs

Happy Caturday loves, 

It's the weekend, yay!! I don't have anything going on this weekend and I am so okay with that. Lazy one with the kitties it is for me. 

Today I have some eyeballs I did early this week and wore until this morning when I redid my nails. I think these came out cute!!!

My bases are Starrily Polish "Cats Eyes" (the blue holo) and Sinful Colors "Snow Me White" (the white) with a coat of Cina Glaze "Fairy Dust" on top of the white nails. I did the eyeballs with nail art brushes and a dotting too and OPI "Rich Girls & Po-Boys", OPI "OPI - Eurso Euro", China Glaze "Tip Your Hat", Sinful Colors "Black On Black" and Sinful Colors "Endless White".




                         Cat Eyes (holo) and Snow Me White on their own, love these two together! 

That's all for today. I have ghosts on now that I'll post tomorrow or Monday. I have quite a few more Halloween nails I want to do this year yet so you'll be getting a post from me at least twice a week from now through Halloween. 

Enjoy your Caturday. I leave you with Miss Betty in the haunted house scratcher my sister brought the cats last weekend while she was cat sitting when we were at camp. Betty is too darn cute ❤❤

Starry Night in the Mountains at Camp

Happy Friday Friends, 

Hope you are well and having/had a good week. Today I have the nails I did for last weekend when we were camping in the mountains at our family camp. It was a great weekend, the weather was amazing and temperatures were awesome as well. I have lots of pics after my nails. Enjoy them :) 

For my nails I decided to do a pretty starry night in the mountains. I layer stamped the trees and think these turned out super cute. Hope you like them too! 

My bases are F.U.N. Laquer "Starry Night of the Summer" (pinkies and thumbs) and Orly "Sagebrush" (index, middle and ring). I stamped with Konad "Black" and Dance Legend "Grey" stamping polishes and Born Pretty "L072" plate. I did the grey stamping first then the black to give the trees some definition. I painted Color Club "Take A Hike" on the top half of the stamped nails to make the night sky then I used F.U.N. Laquer "Diamond Dust" and Holo Taco "Flakie Holo Taco" top coats to create the starrry skies. The glitter on my pinkies and thumbs is Finger Paints "Sparkle With Me" to finish. 

           
                                            

                                        
"Starry Night of the Summer" (pinkies and thumbs) and Orly "Sagebrush" (index, middle and ring) on their own. 

Here are a slew of pictures from our weekend. We did miss peak fall foliage by about 10 days, but it was still super pretty! 

This is our neighbor camp kid, Landon, love this kid, he's an awesome little guy. Here he is with the wooly caterpillar he found on the tree that he named Leo :) 

Turkeys we saw on a pretty Fall day drive we took all over! 

Some super sweet dogs we met with some really cool people too that we met on our drive! 






Rock cairns! 
The creeks are so low, Potter County as much of PA is, is in a serious draught. 
Top of the mountain! 


Some cool stones on the side of the road going up the mountain.


Just some pretty scenery. 

Our beloved bus that we camp in :) :) 
Landon again! 
Landon's sister Avery, love this sweet little girl also. These two kids are two of my favorites kids in this world :) 
A rock and picture I made for Avery. 
One of the two overlooks we stop at It's such an amazing view! 

This is part of the mountain by our camp. 
Camp.
More mountains by camp! 


At our camp. 
Even more camp mountains. This is a neighbor's camp here. 




We have no idea what this is so we threw it in the fire in case it was invasive. 

The moon over the mountains coming back from our drive, this was so cool looking. 

The other lookout we go to.


Our neighbor's camp. 
Leaves, leaves and more leaves. We had so much raking to do! 
Camp shots. 




Sunday morning when it was getting light out. I thought we were going to have a sunrise but then the clouds moved in so I only got these, still pretty though I think. 




Saw these guys leaving camp, they were HUGE!


Wykoff Run, the falls we always stop at on the way home. This is the lowest I've ever seen this, sigh. Hopefully we get rain and lots of it soon! 


That's it for this post. Talk soon when I come back with more Halloween nails, yay! 

Polish & Purrs,

Melly
