Themed Thursday - October 29: Trick or Treat

nothing to disclose 

Hello, hello! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week! We're just two days way from Halloween here in the states and today is also the last day of our first ever Themed Thursday month! I'm so proud to have gotten through the challenge and it's been so awesome to see all the creative manis from my fellow nail artists - you guys are rockin' it!

The final theme of the month is "Trick-or-Treat" which I wasn't entirely sure how to handle. I contemplated doing some of my favorite Halloween candy for today, but I also loved the idea of the actual act of trick-or-treating...the process of getting dressed and asking strangers for candy ;)

Themed Thursday - October 21: Blood & Gore

Hi, guys! I'm really excited to share today's mani! So much so that I'm staying up late to edit and write this! Glad it's Friday tomorrow (er, today?) ;) I'm speed typing so I can finish this up before my melatonin kicks in and I pass out on the keyboard!

In yesterday's post I promised (well, I said I'd try!) to get caught up on my Themed Thursday posts and fortunately, I had a huge stroke of inspiration when I got home from the gym and painted my Blood & Gore mani!

Themed Thursday - October 15th: Monsters

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.

Hello my friends! Remember our first Themed Thursday post last week? Today is the second post of our October theme (Halloween!) and we're painting all things Graveyard or Haunted House...or both!

Themed Thursday - October 1st: Jack-o-Lanterns

Hello, all! Hope your week is treating you well! I have a VERY exciting new challenge to share with you all called THEMED THURSDAY! My nail bestie, Kelli from The Nail Polish Challenge, and I dreamed up this weekly challenge as a way not only give ourselves inspiration for manis, but to also give you, our readers inspiration!

Before the start of each month, we'll share a graphic like the one below on Instagram (and likely on my blog as well!) that will have a theme and challenge prompts for each Thursday of the month. Our first theme? Halloween of course! We're so excited and would absolutely love to have any and all of you partake - just use the hashtag #themedthursdayoct so that everyone can see what you've created. I hope you'll join us!!
