Off With Their Head!

Halloween is here! For us college kids, this weekend is when all the costume parties are. We celebrate Halloween this weekend, not on the actual day. Or at least my friends and I follow that. I have class very early the next morning.

I'm so excited to get all dressed up! Any occasion that I get to do fun hair and makeup is so exciting! I never do anything to my hair, so when I do it automatically makes my day 10x better. This year I didn't get a chance to paint Halloween nails, but instead I painted my nails to match my costume. I am going to be the Queen of Hearts. I originally wanted to paint each suit in a card deck on each hand (spades, diamonds, clubs and hearts) but I'm short on time. I went with the minimalist approach and I really love it! My definition for "minimalist" regarding nails is a little different from most people's! Ha ha. 

I used "White Tip" by Sally Hansen, "Caliente Coral" by Maybelline, and "Set in Stones" by Essie (My favorite!)

This manicure is so girly and sparkly! I can see this as a good nail design for Valentine's Day, too. Or any time. As an engineering major, I need more girlyness like this in my life. 

Have a safe and happy Halloween! <3

Valentines Hearts and More

As you might have seen, my last post was my effort to acknowledge Valentine's Day. Here are my nails from a few years ago (when I was in high school and had lots of free time: something I no longer have. sigh.). But anyways, the design follows the classic Valentines-y theme, unlike this year's design.

I don't know what I painted on that one pointer finger that's out of the frame. I guess it was my way of censoring a crappy looking nail. ha ha ha
