Hi Everyone! Happy weekend! I know I'm late with my post today BUT it's because I was working a long long time on it! Today's theme for the Crumpets Nail Tarts is
Influenced by a Scary Movie!
Well there's no way I'm putting The Ring on my nails and that's the movie I think has scared me the most through all my years. The girl is SO freaking creepy. Instead I decided to pay homage to good old Channel 18 and Creature Feature! I remember as young girls watching I Was A Teenage Werewolf, The Mummy, Dracula Meets Frankenstein and the Creature From the Black Lagoon so I decided to get them all into one mani!
A super big thanks to my friend Sarah of Chalkboard Nails for helping me come up with the Wolfman and Creature drawing last year!
I went with fine tip sharpies to do the designs because lets face it I'm not good and freehand!
I would SO love to link everyone else today BUT I had to do some major laptop fixing all because I couldn't hear any sound on You Tube video and YES I did need to hear Tartofraises when I'm checking out her marbling. So when I tried to get back into Facebook I couldn't! And now I have to wait 24 hours due to security reasons for flip sake! Don't you just love social networking?
It's just as well because today's a day spend relaxing and maybe watching some scary movies!
Have a great weekend!
YAY I have access to the lovely Facebook once again so I'm linking everyone's cool mani's!!
Hey Everyone!! It looks like I'm jumping from Crumpet's Nail Tarts Halloween Challenge to Crumpet's Nail Tarts Halloween Challenge lol! I've got a few hectic things going on right now and I've not been able to do my nails each day *GASP* I have a super cool mani today so this baby could stay on for a few days!!
Let's see what's up for today shall we?
Ooooh blood and gore!
Check out my very first successful splatter mani!!!!
As you can see I did a gradient first! I used Essence Vampire's Love Polishes for my gradient--The Dawn Is Broken and Hunt Me If You Can
And did you see that??!!!! Right hand pic even !!!!!!
My "blood" is Revlon Devil's Lure (which I love) and China Glaze Salsa
I tried to stamp a bat on this mani can you find it????
Not really LOL! It just looks like more of the blood and gore BUT I'm so please with how this turned out!!
You know this is going to be a good challenge today so make sure to check out everyone else!
OMG Readers! I totally forgot to post Crumpet's Halloween Challenge picture today! I got all the way to work and said oh oh!!! No blog post for today! GLURG! I hope my fellow crumpet's will forgive me! Today's theme in the Crumpet's Nail Tarts Halloween Challenge is
Pumpkins!!! I'm featuring a franken I made last year with this mani. This is one of the first frankens I ever made. Basically it's an amped up Pumpkin Spice!
Because I really love dark colors, especially this time of year, I just did an accent nail of China Glaze Cross Iron 360 and an image from BM305. Man BM305 is sure getting a lot of use lately!!
I can't believe I made this Gypsy Bries franken over a year ago and just never wore it! It's really quite lovely!
Now let's check in with all the other gals and see what they came up with for today's challenge!
Hi Everyone! Do you believe in monsters? Did you when you were a kid? I'm not going to lie and I will let you all know I have an irrational fear of werewolves. Yep I said it, and it's true. There is no way in hell you'll catch me in the woods during a full moon. My friends and family make fun of me for this all the time BUT I like to say, well do you want your last thought to be--as you're getting your throat ripped out by a werewolf--Oh Laurie was right and I was wrong? LOL!
When I was little I was super scared of monsters. OMG Lisa and I would watch every stupid scary movie out there and I would have to sleep with her. She was younger than I was but I was sleeping with her lol! Now here's the super funny thing. We each had a twin bed up against a wall and there was a window in between us. I always wanted to sleep up against the wall because I felt like if a monster came in through the window it would eat Lisa, be full, and leave me alone. She always wanted me to sleep against the wall because the felt like the monster would come up from the floor through along the wall eat me, be full, and leave her alone! LOL! Omg it was years and years before we each shared this with one another.
Today's theme in Crumpet's Nail Tarts Halloween Challenge is . . .
Things That Go Bump In The Night (Monsters Etc)
Well I tried for a Monster's Inc type mani. Not sure if I consider this a success or failure. Bottom line is, it's late and I need to get to bed so I'm changing this mani lol!
This is supposed to be Sully and Mike but really it sort of looks like a rabid Cookie Monster lol! Along side of my monsters is Orly Androgynie which I think is freaking gorgeous!!!!
Let's see what my cohorts have come up with!
Hi Everyone! Today is another installment in Crumpet's Nail Tarts Halloween Challenge and omg at first I panicked with this theme--
Freestyle Halloween. I think we all know how I feel about my freestyle! Let's just say my freestyle is trapped inside my non-creative body LOL! I wanted to do something cool and funky SO I went to youtube! I checked out the queen of the water marble, Collette of My Simple Little Pleasures. She has a couple of spider web designs so I decided to try my hand at one.
And this is what I came up with----
ATTACK OF THE GREEN MUTANT SPIDERS!
This looks pretty cool BUT it wasn't easy lol!
I should say it doesn't look as great as Collette's BUT I do think it's cool!
AND I got to use my favorite green--China Glaze Cha Cha Cha!
Check out the Thumbies!
Here's Lefty
And Righty
I think this mani is spooktacular for Freestyle Halloween!!
Make sure if you haven't seen any of the bazillion water marble tutorials by Collette you check this one out for sure!
AND check out what all my ghoulish gal friends have come up with today!
Hey Everyone! Almost the weekend!! Woot!!! No big plans for the weekend, I'm just going to spend time with my family. If anyone is doing any fabulous let me know so I can live vicariously through you!
Today is another Crumpet's Nail Tarts Halloween Challenge
and today's theme is witches. I really wanted to think outside the box for this one so I decided on a water marble resembling some witch socks!
I had envisioned it a teeny cuter lol!
Be sure you check out what everyone else has come up with!
Hi Everyone! I don't know how old you all are but I'm pretty dang old! I remember Creature Feature on Saturday nights when I was kid--it was on channel 18. My sister Lisa and I used to watch all the movies they played and holy cow I was scared so many times it was not funny! There were movies about monsters, werewolves, vampires and of course zombies. Today's theme in the Crumpet Nail Tarts Halloween Challenge is zombies. OMG this was SO FREAKING HARD TO DO! I love my gurls in Crumpet's but whoever thought up zombies needs to get smacked LOL!
When it comes to freehand we all know it is not my cup o tea. But I managed to freehand a little zombie
The coolest thing about this mani is the Zoya Evvie and Ray gradient with Sonoma Nail Art Here Lies Robert over it.
Speaking of zombies do any of you watch The Walking Dead? I can not believe how much I love that show! I can't wait for the new season to start!
I wonder how many cool zombie nails we'll see today from my cohorts?!
Hi Everyone! Things are moving right along in the new and so far easy Crumpet's Nail Tarts Halloween Challenge. Now mind you this is only the 2nd theme in the challenge but still so far so good lol! Today's theme is black cat. Poor black cats getting such a bad rap. I just don't know what all the hype is about them. They aren't scary and they aren't mean--and unfortunately, they can't talk. They do look cool though!
I'm not really big on freehand and the reason is--it's hard! I'm really happy with how these turned out though! My first attempt was having yellow eyes which you could see in real life but when I snapped pics of it, you couldn't see the yellow! Weird! So then I went with the green and the camera man said it looked lizardy! YIKES! I don't care I'm sticking with em lol!
I'm having dinner tonight with my mom--I wonder what she'll say when she sees them lol!
I've seen pictures of this mani for a couple years now all over the internet during this time of year--not this one specifically but several like it in various variations--I have no idea who the original creator of it is--if it's you or you know please let me know so I can credit them!
Let's see what's up next in the challenge!
Zombies?!? Yikes this is going to be a problem I think!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a fantastic day!!
Hi Everyone! Welcome to October. There are lots of things going on in October but the biggie is Halloween month! And guess what?! After grumbling about the 31 Day Challenge and how harrowing it was, I'm back in another month long challenge LOL! This one isn't so bad though, it's not daily AND I'll be able to do some MSMD mani's during this challenge.
The challenge is a fun one, it was thought up by some of the gals in Crumpet's Nail Tarts. This is an open group on facebook so if you want in please stop by! Here's the link! http://www.facebook.com/groups/purplecrumpetfairy/
Here's the banner listing all the challenges and their days
First up is Trick or Treat! I don't know why but I decided to combine two things I'm not a huge fan of--candy corn and Hello Kitty LOL!
Many of my friends call me the gradient queen but I have to tell you this is by far the ugliest gradient I've ever done lol! White and orange just do not belong together in a gradient. EVER.
I don't get the Hello Kitty obsession. I have a few friends who love her though. She's cute but I guess I'd rather be obsessed with Elvis LOL!
I'm not a fan of candy corn at all. When I was a kid I used to give away all the candy corn I collected Trick or Treating LOL! Give me a reeses peanut butter cup over some ding dang candy corn thank you very much.
Looks like Tuesday and Thursday will be the day for some Halloween fun this month. I hope you stop by to see how I'm doing!
Thanks for stopping! Have a great day!
