26 Great Nail Art Ideas: Halloween With Negative Space

Greetings and Nailutations,

I have a ton of blog posts I will be cranking out over the next few days!  And special treat - I have a giveaway coming up to celebrate 4 years of blogging this month!  :)

26 Great Nail Art Ideas is a Facebook Group that has prompts every other week and a few days ago (I'm behind) was Halloween with Negative Space.  I'm going to be honest, this weekend when I was going through all the manis I needed to get done, I kept wanting to do a ruffian mani.  So these are my take on Halloween Negative Space Ruffian.

Let's get to the details.

The Nail Art Squad - Fall Decor

Greetings and Nailutations,

Today I participated in a collaboration with some talented women organized by Sarah of 25 Sweet Peas.  Our prompt was Fall Decor and I am summoning all the Autumn vibes I can with this mani to get it to cool down here.  It is the middle/end of October and today (Monday the 23rd) it is supposed to be 97 F (36.1 C)!  I mean come on Mother Nature - WHY!?  I'll stop whining now and share with you the collaboration photo!

Digit-al Dozen: Throwback to Luciferia

Greetings and Nailutations,

It has been an amazing Digit-al Dozen Week using the prompt Throwback.  I had my tribute to Sally, Bumble, Clown and yesterday a Butterfly.  Today we are going old school, as in college days, back in the late 90's-early 2000's (yes I'm dating myself).

Digit-al Dozen: Throwback to Flutterby

Greetings and Nailutations,

It is now Day 4 of the Digit-al Dozen Throwback week.  I'm revisiting times I have dressed up - I'm getting in the Halloween spirit!  I first showed you my Sally mani, then buzzed over to my Bumble costume and yesterday I shared my Clown work uniform.  Today is not necessarily a costume nor a uniform, but just as fun!

Digit-al Dozen: Throwback to Bumble

Digit-tal Dozen: Throwback to Sally

Greetings and Nailutations,

It is a Digit-al Dozen Week and our prompt for this week is Throwback.  What does "throwback" mean, should I do old manis I've done before or re-create other people's manis were the first things that popped into my mind.  But because it's October and I wanted to try to fit in some theme costume manis, I decided to take a trip down memory lane in my Facebook account to look at times I "dressed up" and create manis inspired by those costumes.

Now let's get to the details!
