Stitched up heart

Hello there again!

Today is the wedding, and I am probably very excited! (I say probably, because I'm writing this a full 2 weeks before, so I have to assume...;) )
I'm probably also very excited that it will soon be over, and life can go back to normal...XD


Alas, today is another one picture post, but with this one comes a tutorial as well! Rejoice!

I refer to these as my patchwork heart nails.
Patchwork Heart Nails
I especially love the glitter on the ring finger - it's essence 'blue addicted' which is a stunning royal blue jelly with medium and tiny blue hexes in it. Sadly it's not part of their new line, so I'm glad I stocked up! This was probably the first glitter I've actually really liked. I'm not much of a glitter girl, but this was the beginning of my conversion...:)

What I used:
essence 'you belong to me', 'walk on air', 'let's get lost!'
ulta3 'lily white'
Striping tape from ebay

Stick around for a tutorial a bit later!

Braaaiiins...

Hello lovelies!
So today we have one of the This is Halloween Challenge manis that I'm rather proud of - zombies!


Today's mani was inspired by an artist I've been following on Instagram for a while now. Her handle there is @spooksieboo - go check her out.
She has an Etsy shop I believe, where you can go and order paintings of you and your loved ones zombified! I'll link it once I've found it, as right now the link isn't on her profile.
Edit: This is the link to her easy shop where you can purchase prints of some of her more popular designs, and sometimes even order customs pics...CLICK ME!

Anywho, on with the show!


I've always loved the eyes on her paintings, so I decided to replicate those here, with the trademark green of slowly decaying zombie skin, and of course some barely healing gashes, poorly stitched up.
And of course, a matte finish on these, because I felt it just more fitting.



What I used:
Essie 'Navigate Her' and 'Mojito Madness'
Essence 'Black is Back' and 'Fateful Desire'
Ulta3 'Lily White'
Rimmel 'Matte Finish'


What do you think? Did I do the challenge, and Spooksieboo's paintings justice?

As always, thanks for stopping by!
