Halloween Nails..

Vivian loves painting her nails.  In fact, I don't think I've seen her nails without nail polish since she discovered the stuff! True.  She likes to do polka dots on her nails and today's tutorial is curtosy of her.  She decided that she would paint her nails Halloween style...

Start with clean nails and polish with base coat.  Then paint with orange nail polish...

Luna supervising
You will then need black nail polish and one (or two) toothpicks...

Vivian said it's important to rough up the end of the toothpick (I didn't ask why).

You then add a drop (or several) to whatever surface you are working on (in her case it was a paper towel)...

 
Then pick up a couple of black nail polish with the toothpick end ....
And add a dot to your nail... 
  And continue until you have the amount of dots you want...
Continue the same for each nail...or you can change your mind mid way and make a couple of pumpkin faces...(I'm digging the sideways pumpkin on her index finger).

She decided to leave the pumpkin faces (yeah, she's cool like that) and finish the rest of her fingers with polka dots..
Here's Vivian sporting her Halloween nails...isn't she cute!

I did manage to make some earrings last week.  Check out my "Dia de Los Muertos" (Day of the Dead) earrings...

Until next time...
