Pumpkin Half Moons! - I hate pumpkins!

Soooooooooooooo I actually did these nails over two weeks ago and started this post maybe 10 days ago.  I ended up pushing the post back and finishing it now.

Let's start with some hard hitting truths.  I actually don't like pumpkin.  I've had one pumpkin soup that I've liked and that was it.   Actually had a pumpkin spice latte the other day.  I was in the mood for a fall drink, which generally means something apple.  But since the place I was at didn't have any apple goodness I decided to try the latte.  Wow.  The only way I can describe the flavour was a cross between horrid kids medicine, and vomit aftertaste.   No, it tasted like I had thrown up horrid kids medicine.  Ill stick to my apple cider next time.

UNLESS I don't have to ingest it.  I think that is why I ended up loving these nails.  They were super easy to do as I didn't have to be exact with them *HUZZAH*.  For my base I used China Glaze Glittering Garland, and for the pumpkins I just used acrylic paint.

Again I was super pleased with these.  What do you think?  Also does anyone have a pumpkin recipe that can convert this pumpkin hater?

With Flash, *A-AH*.

This Is Halloween...: My First OFFICIAL Halloween Manicure

So here it is.  Feast your eyes on this masterpiece! Maybe not masterpiece but it's ok.

I really just wanted to do a somewhat simple design for this.  When I saw my NK Vibrant Orange for the first time I knew I had to do something with pumpkins.  It's classic.   Initially I was going to do all the nails in Vibrant Orange  and do carved pumpkins on my thumb and ring finger.  Then I decided I didn't want the pumpkins to be orange.  I LOVE how eerie Halloween pumpkins look at night when they have a candle in them, and they just have that creepy glow to them.  So I went with a pumpkin in the night look.  Then I did some funky tips by just using a striping brush and making lines. I actually saw this done on a blog and I wish I could remember which one :(

Stay tuned for more Halloween badassicures.  I really don't know how bad ass they will be.  In my head they are quite bad ass.  But my hands don't always listen to my head.
