Black and White Nails- Sleepy Hollow

Day 7's prompt is black and white nails so I'm sharing these nails I did last year but never posted.  Like my Flash nails, I also did these before PaleyFest but it was in 2014 and it was for the Sleepy Hollow panel.

Yellow 5SOS Nail Art

Today I'm sharing yellow 5SOS inspired nail art! Day 3 of the 31 Day Challenge is yellow and I'm excited to post these because they are a part of a happy memory. 5SOS is short for 5 Seconds of Summer and is a band from Australia.  My sister is a fan and got concert tickets for her birthday so I made plans to visit so I could go with her and all my sisters.  Before I went, I painted my nails yellow and black and painted the band's tally logo on my thumb.

San Antonio Spurs Nail Art

The NBA Finals are going on and my Spurs are back in it!  There isn't another sports team that I love nearly as much as I love this one.  They remind me of home, family, and happy memories! 

I painted my nails in two of the team colors- black and silver.  I had to add a spur in there of course so I did that using the silver polish from my Kiss Nail Artist kit.  I also added some silver glitter polish.

I really hope they win it!  I'll be rooting loudly for them-  GO SPURS GO! 

Halloween Ghost Nails

I've got another Halloween mani to share with you today!  Meet my friend Mr. Ghostly! 

I painted him on my thumbnail and then spelled out "Boooooo" on the rest of my nails.  (My sister pointed out that the o's also kind of look like eyes in the dark!)

I didn't like this mani very much when I first did it but the following Monday I was having a long day and seeing my nails would cheer me up because it seemed like Mr. Ghostly was saying "Boooooo!" to any of the bad stuff for me.  I ended up keeping these on until Thursday when I had to change them so I could do a mani that would match my Halloween costume.

Thanks Mr. Ghostly for being my cheerleader this week!  Or is it uncheerleader?  haha!  

Have a great couple days before Halloween!

Stars Mani

This next mani is a simple one I did last week.  It consisted of some new polishes I had bought at Target a couple days before.  I didn’t have a lot of time so I decided to just try the new polishes out!

This was the result!

The two new polishes I had bought were wet n wild Fergie "Going Platinum" and wet n wild Fergie "Hollywood Walk of Fame" (the star polish).  Honestly I bought them thinking they were on sale without realizing they were sitting in the wrong spot on the shelf but I was happy to have new stuff to try anyway!  (They are around $4 each. Not bad but I had thought it was $2, oops!)

I used the "Going Platinum" color for my ring finger and a black polish I already had for the rest of my nails (Sally Hansen Black Out).  I used the "Hollywood Walk of Fame" polish as a top coat on the nails I had painted black.  I really liked the stars in this polish but it was hard to get them on the brush and to paint them onto the nails.  I think next time I will maybe try pouring a bit out and using the brush and maybe a toothpick to get the stars where I want them.  Despite that though I still liked the result and even got a couple compliments on them throughout the weekend.  I think Mickey liked them too!

Yellow Polish, plus Collage and Music Nails!

Today’s post features 3 manicures I did this week!

Some of my family was in town for a few days last weekend.  I felt sad after they headed home so I painted my nails in a cheerful color to try to brighten my mood. I picked the color yellow!  I used a NYC nail polish called “Taxi Yellow Creme".  It took a few coats but in the end my nails were a happy soft yellow. 

I took out my new dotting tools for practice and used it to paint dots on my nails.  I used L.A. Colors “Sea Siren”.  It was a very simple mani that didn’t take too long to do.  I even threw in a hidden Mickey. 

My family was only in town for a few days but I did manage to do quick manis on my sisters.  Although I started out with the new nail tools I had gotten I ended up going back to the tools I was used to for time reasons.  For one of my sisters I painted her nails with a collage of different designs because I couldn’t decide on one. I put Sanrio's Batz Maru on one nail, glitter on another, and what reminded us of her cat on her thumb.

For my other sister we did a music theme and I painted music notes on her nails along with some zig zag lines, stars, and microphones.

I wish we’d had more time but I'm so happy they were able to visit.  I really miss them all a lot and I have been a bit of an Eeyore since they’ve left. 

On a happier note, I think I’ll be starting the 31 day manicure challenge in the next couple weeks. I hit a bit of a creative block in general so I think it will be a great way to push myself and maybe even learn some new nail tricks as I go.

Blue/Black Grid Nails

This next manicure was a quick one I did a few months ago.  I had painted my nails in a light blue that I really liked but felt it needed something else.  I grabbed my black polish that came with a thin brush and started drawing lines on my already blue nails.

They weren't the straightest lines but in the end I liked them!  It sort of reminded me of Tron and the Grid!  I sent a picture of them to my sister and she said they reminded her of Mystique from X-Men which made me like them even more!  I hope to try this again sometime with straighter lines!
Here are a couple more photos of them.  Duffy the Disney Bear jumped into the photos so he could show off his paw too!

  

I think Duffy's paw has mine beat!
