Spider Web Nails

Hello everyone! This week I created spooky spider webs on my nails and I’m going to show you how it’s done. The colors I used for this tutorial were Revlon’s Top Speed “Black Star” (#880), “Stunning” (#340), and Sally Hansen’s Xtreme Wear in “White On” (#300). You will also need a skinny nail art brush and a dotter. I started with my black base color. I chose this Revlon polish because it is not as harsh of a color; it looks a bit more shimmery and fun. On my index and pinky fingers, I made spider webs by painting diagonal lines coming from the top right of my nail and then drawing curved lines between them. On my ring finger I added a spider using a dotter to make the body and a nail art brush to make the legs and wed coming from it. I drew the string coming from the spider in my perspective, but it’d be best if you connected the string to your cuticle (do it right basically lol). Finally, I used glitter over the remaining nails and a top coat on all my nails. This is m

Pumpkin Nails

Hey everyone! My third Halloween nail design (inspired from Pinterest) is pumpkin nails! There may be a lot of polishes involved, but it’s actually pretty easy. It doesn't have to be just a Halloween design; you can use it for the whole fall season. The colors I used were Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri in shades “Sand Storm” (#113) and “Lickety-Split Lime” (#29), Triple Shine shades in “Taheati” (#620) and “Play Koi” (#240), and Essie’s “Mink Muffs” (#624). I started with a tan, neutral base on all my nails. Then I used my lighter shade of orange to make a semi-circle by the tips of my nails and filled it in. I used my dark brown to make a short, thick line on the top of the semi-circle for the pumpkin stem and added a green line next to the stem for the vine. Finally, I used the darker orange to make the indentations on the pumpkin and to create depth. Add a top coat to seal it in and you've got pumpkin nails! Thanks for reading my post. I have one Halloween tutorial

Black Cat Nails

Hello everyone! This is my second Halloween nail design; two to go. These black cat nails were inspired by several Pinterest designs, which I basically mushed together. The colors I used for this design were Sally Hansen's Triple Shine in "Play Koi" (#240), Xtreme wear "Black Out" (#28), and Pumpkin Nail Enamel by Blue Cross Beauty Products. I also used painter's tape and a small nail art brush. I started by painting an orange base on all my nails. After that dried, I drew a spooky black cat shape on a piece of painter's tape and cut it out. I placed the outline on my nail and painted black over top. I made sure to wait 10 seconds before I removed the tape to make sure the polish didn't spread. I did 2 cats on each hand, added 1 moon on each hand, and put glitter over the remaining nails. I sealed everything in with a top coat. I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial. Make sure to come back next Sunday for Halloween tutorial #3. BYYEEE

DIY: Pumpkin Spiced Latte

Hey everyone! So, like the basic white girl I am, I love pumpkin spiced lattes. However, buying them every day can really drain your bank account (or in this case my allowance hehe). Today I have decided to teach you how to make an easy, quick pumpkin spiced latte. Naturally, I found this recipe from Pinterest, but I tweaked it a bit. Here’s what you’ll need: ¾ cup milk (I used 2% because that’s what was in the fridge) 2 tsp. white granulated sugar 2 tbsp. pumpkin puree ¼ tsp. vanilla extract A palm full of pumpkin spice ½ cup hot coffee Whip cream (for an extra touch, but it’s optional) Start off with combining your milk, sugar, pumpkin, vanilla, and pumpkin spice. You’ll want to blend this mixture until it is frothy. I used a hand mixer, but you can use a blender if you want. Next, you want to heat up the pumpkin mixture you just made. The original recipe said to heat it in a sauce pan, which I did the first time, but I was too lazy this time an

Candy Corn Nails

Hey everyone! It’s October (one of the best months tbh) and I’m going to have 4 Halloween nail tutorials for your enjoyment (and mine)! The first is the classic candy corn nail. I got a lot of compliments on these so I was pretty proud lol. The colors I used for this design were Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri in “Lightening” (#280), Xtreme Wear in “White On” (#300), and Triple Shine in the colors “Taheati” (#620) and “Pearly White (#300). This design is really easy and there are several alterations you can make to it. Last year, I used the same colors, except a lighter shade of orange, and no glitter (GASP). This year, I just had to include a glitter top coat. To get the stripes I free handed it, but you can use tape if you want the lines to be perfectly straight. I started with the yellow base coat, left a little yellow showing at the bottom and painted orange over the rest, and did the same with the white. It’s literally that simple. Then I added the glitter over the whole t
