Happy Halloween! A Minecraft Manicure

Wow, MUA is temporarily gone!  I admit, I responded to this crisis by buying nail polish - and then I started work on my Halloween nails!

For my Halloween manicure, I decided to recreate five famous monsters from the videogame Minecraft on my fingernails. If you're not familiar with the game, I've included pictures of the actual monsters for your enjoyment.  Here's my manicure!

 

And here's the monsters my nails represent.

I created this manicure by painting pieces of scotch tape, letting it dry, and then cutting out the different face shapes using small craft scissors.  I then placed these DIY nail stickers over the appropriate base colors.

Thanks for looking, everyone, and feel free to check out more pictures of this manicure on my blog.  Have a happy, spooky Halloween, everyone, and to those in the northeast United States, hang in there.  My monster-clad fingers are crossed for a return of the makeupalley servers.

Cloud Atlas!

Hi everyone - did anybody go see Cloud Atlas in theaters yesterday?

I'm obsessed with the book, so naturally I went, and painted my nails in honor of the occasion!

Feel free to go see more pictures of my Cloud Atlas manicure over at my blog!  Thanks for looking, and I hope everyone is having a wonderful October.

Fall Colors!

Sonia Kashuk has put out a nice little fall collection this year.  I think it's a great "vampy polish" starter kit, though it probably doesn't have much appeal to those who already have a lot of polish (like everybody here, amirite??)
