Another Halloween Nail Art Design

Today's halloween look is super simple and super easy. Again, instead of being an obvious nod to the holiday, this design uses halloween colors to get you in the holiday mood.

I started with a bright orange polish. You can use whatever orange you have, which means you can go with a pumpkin tone or a neon orange, a pastel orange or anything else that makes you smile. I went with a very saturated orange, but not quite neon.

Once that was totally dry I added a beautiful water transfer from the WDBLE981 set that's available at KKCenterHK. I absolutely love these decals! I love that there are many choices in one style, so that your nails don't look so obviously done with decals.

I'm also very glad to share that these decals acted much more like the decals I'm familiar with than the last set I used. Thankfully, these slid right off the backing once it was wet. Then I was able to slide them onto my nail and position it the way I wanted.

Keep in mind that these water decals will continue to slide around whenever they get wet, so you definitely need to top them with topcoat. The clear topcoat helps meld them with your nail polish so that they aren't going anywhere.

Once again, after I got the decal in place I wanted to add a rhinestone to give it a bit of flair. What can I say, I love shiny things! This stone came from the Fing'rs Nail & Body Jewels kit. I really like this kit because the stones are tiny and you get such a great selection of shapes and colors.

Once everything's on and mostly dry I added a coat of ProFX to protect everything. I really like the end result. This could be a beautiful accent nail or you could do all your nails with these decals. Whatever you do, they'll be pretty.

So go ahead, play with your nail art stuff. You may end up with a design you love!

A Closer Look At KKCenterHK's Water Decals

Whew! I finally get to share my somewhat exciting news! Ok, it's not all that exciting unless you're me, but I'm so pumped I can barely contain myself! It's been a busy weekend...

If you've been a long-time reader here, you know I've been wanting to do videos for a long time. Unfortunately, I kept running into problems- I didn't have a camera, then my camera's video files didn't play nicely with video editors. Once I figured that out, the actual editing of video sent me into near nervous breakdown territory! Finally, once I overcame that obstacle, I found that youtube was chewing up my pretty video and spitting out really icky compressed stuff.

I wasn't happy... but finally after years of longing and working and trying to make sense of things, I have finally figured it out! Well, actually, my husband figured it out, and helped show me what to do, but I had the good sense to marry him, so I'm still claiming this one! So, here's my first almost-awesome video! Let's take a look at how to use these super-awesome water decals from KKCenterHK!



I've got a couple of photos of the nails I did, as well... and again, I got bubbles. I should have used the new topcoat instead of the old thick one, but live and learn. :D



So yay! Now that I've got the how down, hopefully I can start working on video tutorials for fun stuff! I'm so excited that I actually didn't sleep last night... I love what I do!
