Themed Thursday - October 15th: Monsters

nothing to disclose

Hi all!

How sad is it that I'm a week behind on my own dang challenge!? I've got a quick post today to share my Themed Thursday Monsters mani! Last week was a bit of an emotional roller coaster for me I wasn't able to focus my energies on nail art. I also struggled a bit with what exactly to paint for today.

My initial thought was to paint the traditional Halloween monsters - vampires, mummies, zombies, and the like. But when I sat down to paint these, I couldn't find inspiration. I didn't know how to put my own spin on these and so I just sort of sat on it and mulled it over for far too long. After over a week of sitting with 100+ monster related tabs open on my computer, I finally decided to "eff it! I'll just do this!"...and painted little monsters inspired by this pattern.

Cirque Colors - Metropolis Collection, October: Swatches & Review

Hello, all! I have the October Cirque Metropolis polishes to share today...are you as excited as I am?? :D

The Metropolis collection is a running collection created by Cirque where each month, 1-3 new polishes from that collection get released. Not only do I love the idea of this type of collection, I can't get over how beautifully crafted each and every one of these cremes are. The formulas are always incredible and make me want to paint nails forever just so I can keep enjoying the application process.

There are two cremes in the October release, so let's take a look!

Doctor Lacquer - Chromahedron Collection: Swatches & Review

Hello, all! I have a very exciting set of polishes to share with you today! The fall collection by Doctor Lacquer is available now and I've got swatches! This collection is named Chromahedron and is inspired by the lesser known semi-precious gems. I have to say, if any of these gems are available, I might just have to go one of each because they're beautiful!

The collection consists of 8 holographic polishes packed with tiny shimmer flakies. Each color handles the holo and flakies differently which makes the collection so much fun. I'm really in love with the look of all these together!

I was immediately drawn to this new collection - the colors are striking yet very much what you hope and crave to see in a color palette for fall. Pear Nova takes inspiration from current runway trends and creates what I think are some really nice polishes. Let's take a look!

The Digital Dozen does Autumn - Day 3: Fox n' Leaves

nothing to disclose 

Oh hey, me again! :D

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday (or Monday morning, depending on where you're at in the world!). I spent the day trying to figure out some storage solutions for various hobbies (nail art, planners, hand lettering, painting...the list goes on as my feelings change!) and I've hopefully found something that will work better for me! I will share photos once it's all figured out :)

Anyway! I had a bit of a busy week last week and wasn't able to keep up with my Digital Dozen postings like I wanted so I'm double posting for the next few days to catch up! So, today brings you my day 3 of Autumn! I'm so excited about how this one turned out!
