AN Monday: Zombies

   Hey y'all! I've been slacking off and missed 2 Halloween AN Mondays in a row *oops* but I'm slowly catching up...

   So the theme for last last week's AN Monday mani was zombies! RAWR I did zombie nails last year for Halloween too, so I thought I'd recreate them. They're a little less stitched up zombie, and a little more blood clot dirty zombie this time around.

Last year's stitched up zombie

This year's zombie full of bullet holes/ bite marks and blood clots

   I kind of really still like my stitched up zombie mani, it looks a lot more gross and real... I might re-do them again, and wear them to work for Halloween, spook the customers :P

   As much as I love these gory nails, I want to try for some cute Halloween nails this year too, any suggestions? :D

ANMonday: Halloween Decor

   And so I've finally decided to join in on ANMondays !! :D It's just a fun weekly challenge where a bunch of us girls from an Aussie Facebook group coordinate our manis based on a theme every Monday, hence Aussie Nails Monday! 

   This week's theme was Halloween decor, which could include pumpkins, bats, and what I went for, cobwebs and spiders. 

   It's nothing too fancy, and I'm kind of meh about them, but I'm hoping next Monday's will be much more exciting. Though I am kind of digging the red tips.

   And as a little extra somethin' somethin', here's Sally Hansen Lustre Shine in Lava, 3 coats on its own. It shifts from a glowy red to an iridescent gold yellow, so gorgeous! I'm really starting to love duochromes, even developing a slight obsession... I can't wait for my ILNP ultrachromes to arrive *eeeep !!

Eek!

   What I have for you all today is... *drumroll please* a ripped flesh mani! Inspired by the ever awesome The Daily Nail's "I'm Going to Let It Slide" Halloween manicure. 

   I saw this design on tumblr a few weeks back and I thought it was pretty damn right cool! So now that Halloween is right around the corner, I may as well have spooky nails for work on Thursday! And just to add a little extra "eek" I added stitches *grin Though, half way through the mani it occurred to me why a zombie with ripped flesh would have stitches... right? So instead, I decided to just think of these nails as hacked body pieces that have been sewn together.. sounds a lot creepier huh?! 

   There really isn't much else to say other than Happy Halloween everyone! 

THE EMPTY CHILD

Hello, Sweetie~

I only discovered the wonderful world of Doctor Who (2005) this year and am completely smitten with it! Most of the episodes are light hearted and the banter between the Doctor(s) and his sidekick(s) and his quirky alien villains are always a treat to watch. There are also the tear jerkers like the latest episode "The Angels Take Over Manhatten". But then there are the few that leave me all creeped out! A perfect example would be "The Empty Child". 

That damn gas mask. That damn knocking on the door. That damn "are you my mummy?". This kid's creepy enough to give me nightmares! But what better way to embrace Halloween than painting him onto my nails! 

 

The weeping angels are another creep-tacular creature in Doctor Who that seriously give me the heebie-jeebies! It's because of them I can't look (and/or appreciate) statues the same way any more! Maybe the weeping angels will be next? 

Spoilers! ~

( I really do love the Melody Riversong twist)
