Prairie Beauty: #12NOH

Last day of 12 Nails Of Halloween? Already!? How did we get here???

If you read this blog or know anything at all about my style and tendencies in nail art, you'll know that hand painting is not my forte and I'm forever painfully jealous of people who are good at it. That said, one thing that I've learned is that hand painting with gel polish is about a million times easier and more forgiving, so I decided to give a little try a mani that I've wanted to do for AGES. I was inspired by this mani from @NailsByCambria from a couple of years ago and I was actually planning straight up sticking to the blood drips... but I decided at sort of the last minute to try and up my game a little bit and put my own spin on it.

There are some mani's that I just always come back to, but I always try to change them up a enough that they feel a little bit fresh. One of my favorite mani's from my 2019 12 Nails Of Halloween was my Speckled Grunge Skull Nail Art, which was a really, really simple mani using one of my favorite polishes to reach for at this time of year, and I knew that I wanted to use that same stamping image in another mani this year. I actually considered just a straight up recreation, but ultimately I decided that I should probably change it up a little bit, so I took it to a bit of a darker place, but made it a little bit more fun with some holo and irridescent flakes that make it a bit of dark rainbow magic, if you ask me.

I can not believe that it's almost Halloween - we're in the last week, which makes this my last Halloween themed #CBBxManiMonday! This month has seriously flown by - and I can't believe I've only got a couple more Halloween mani's to share with you guys after this one! I am, however, really, really excited to share this one because it gives me serious heart eyes. This design is a classic at this point - graveyard and haunted house and spooky spooky silhouettes, but there are so many variations that it can take on and for this one... I went holo to the moon!

Happy Friday, everyone! Can you believe we're already ¾ of the way through 12 Nails Of Halloween? I can't! The world is in a mess and my 2020 burnout is strong at this point, but time seems to be downright hurdling. Anyway, for today's mani, I feel like I somehow managed to keep it simple but also... like, a lot at the same time.

Let's just proceed, shall we?

Sometimes you just have to go back to old favorites and this will be the third year in a row that I've done some variation of today's mani. I just can't help it - this mani is simple, straightforward and quick to do, but really packs a lot of punch when it comes to the overall look. Each year I do change it up, using different combinations of base and stamping colours to give it a different vibe each year. This is actually a mani I've also done on friends and family before and it never fails to excite.

If you're looking for a super easy, no fuss stamping nail art for this Halloween, I definitely recommend trying this one out!

Hey guys! One of my favorite nail art designs to do every year at Halloween is a graveyard mani - it's definitely become kind of a classic. This year, as I was considering what I wanted to do, I couldn't get the idea of neon out of my head and I got this idea to do a sort of psychadelic graveyard design. Anyone remember The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein? I thought that it was obscure, but apparently this little, weird Canadian TV show is a bit of a cult classic. Anyway, I remember it from when I was a kid and my clearest memory is of the Wolfman DJ who dances in front of a psychdelic green screen. Check out this little clip from Youtube if you're completely confused as to what I'm talking about. That was definitely my inspiration for this mani... And I mean, talk about a random bit of inspiration, but it worked out!

Anyway, let's get to the nail art, shall we?
