I did these nails on Tuesday...

I did these nails on Tuesday, and then I put the ghosts on the night before Halloween.  I don't do holidays, so my nails are the closest I get to acknowledging that they exist. 😆

I really feel like these turned out great.  I used a dark blue gel and then an aurora chrome powder over it.  The chrome is still looking great, with no tip-wear, which is almost a miracle because I type a lot.

I don't have much time for nail art these days with the Web Dev bootcamp.  I don't have much time for anything.  But Monday starts week 8 of 12, so we're getting closer to the end.  For now, I'm keeping things simple.  I just threw on these vinyl ghost decals that I made in September and called it done.

These are 18mm plain band rings.  I never stopped painting - just started doing other stuff with it.  🙂  I used all of my silver and black bands.  I will have to order more.  I still have stones waiting to be set!

These are some of my larger (18mm) earrings.  Yes, I had Halloween on the brain.  😂😂😂

These change from blue to purple to almost pink - depending on the light. I love how they turned out.

Ready for Halloween. If no one wants these now, I'm sure they'll sell at OxfordFest in October. 😃

Weird color combo that I couldn't resist.

I did a ring with the brown crackle and gold, and a lot of people seemed intrigued by it. So I thought I'd make some earrings to match.

One last set of Halloween nails.

I started the month off with Jack and felt it was only fitting to end with Sally.

What I really love is that she's not necessarily done in Halloween colors.  I like these colors together, actually.  🙂  I think it's really pretty.

Happy Halloween!  😃

These are the last Halloween nails I'm doing this year.

These are the last Halloween nails I'm doing this year. I can't wait to take them off. I'm ready for something new. And I just did these last night!

I don't think I've ever seen an M&M the color of my ring finger, but they should TOTALLY make that. Who doesn't want booger colored candy on Halloween? And Shaun tried to convince me to go with a red base on my pointer finger, but I was afraid that would look too much like Christmas. So, since purple and green are the other two Halloween colors (in my head, anyway) it is what it is.

I think they are pretty cute, but I am honestly kind of burnt out on Halloween. Maybe I won't do the whole month next year. LOL
