NOTD: Halloween Mummy Water Marble + Tutorial

I feel like Halloween is a holiday that I'm almost obligated to do extra-crazy nail art =)  & so what better excuse to bust out the googly-eyes?  My base for this marble was 2 coats of OPI Calling All Goddesses!, marbling done with CaG, OPI Ti-Tan Your Toga & China Glaze Ingrid:

 

The black I used for the "mask" section was just Wet 'n' Wild Black Creme.  I'm sure there are other places you can run across googly-eyes than where I got them too, you just have to keep an eye out =)  I did manage to smudge a few nails on my right hand but I corrected them as best I could.

 

Here's the tutorial:

 

 

Only about week until Halloween!  Except I don't know if that's enough time to fit in all my ideas ... probably not LOL, a few of the ones I've already done this year have been waiting since last year =)

NOTD: Mauve French Tip Swirls & A Belated 2nd Blogiversary

So.... like last year I have managed to miss my blog's anniversary!  I see 2 years was on the 14th, Friday ... I have even less excuse this year than last, it didn't even occur to me until just now - I looked & saw I was late.  Maybe 3rd time will be the charm next year LOL?

 

For the nails I have Wednesday's mani, another drag marble - I used OPI Plum Full of Cheer as the base colors, and 2 dots each on the tips of OPI Meet Me on the Star Ferry & OPI Fit For a Queensland:

 

 

Here are my favorite nails:

 

I just had to buy extra Picasa storage to show these to you guys too!  That's been on my to-do list since the beginning of the year, but my awesome powers of procrastination put it off.  Thanks for reading =)

Nubar Unfaithful Red Version 2

I am much happier with my second attempt.

Nubar Unfaithful Red, Konaded with black special polish & plate m2


Then my mom wanted some Konad agian. I'm not sure what her base color is, she has a ton of off-whites, but it's Konaded with China Glaze Delight & plate m15.

So, I got that finished & out of the way plenty early, I have absolutely no excuse not to go right to organizing the stash. Other than a strong craving for a nap that is ...

Thanks for reading
