I wanted to do some sort of witchy Halloween vibes to cheer myself up and accidentally matched my cast and pants. Colors are Dark Dreams by Nailboo and Costume Party by Sparkle & Co.

Colors are from an Azure Beauty variety pack and are not named or numbered.

I'm doing a book signing next week and wanted my nails to match the outfit I'm going to wear (black shirt and purple skirt). I haven't done French tips in a while, so I thought to pair them with a newer purple foil dip I'd bought. The colora are: A Little Fairy Dust by Beauty Secrets, Dark Dreams by Nailboo, and the sheer nude is from a multi set by Azure Beauty in the number 607.

Color is Little Luxuries by Sparkle & Co.

I'm just a hobby baker and wanted to try my hand at doing the palette knife decorating technique. So I made a dark chocolate cake with buttercream frosting for my husband and my 22nd wedding anniversary.

I'm attending a wedding next weekend, so I wanted to do some subtle sparkle on my nails. Colors are Costume Party by Sparkle & Co. and the sheer nude is from an Azure Beauty kit number 605.

I forgot I'd bought this dip color on clearance last year and finally used it. It is such a pretty color! The color is ASP Quick Dip Misty Surf.

Three Blackeyed Susan flower heads grew together.

Between trying to get rid of ornamental grass that was absolutely taking over and the deer and squirrels messing with everything I plant, I have slowly started to figure out what I can and can't plant here. Its not the prettiest, but I'm trying. My plan, since our house is on a hill, is to have taller plants that can be seen from the road. Some things are just filler for now. I give up on hydrangeas, so next year I'm going to look for more perennials to put in the front middle.

Inspired by some hydrangea flowers, I was trying to match them. The dip, of course, is darker and more purple once cured than in powder form, but I am still happy regardless.

I wanted to do something springy since its getting close to planting time in my area, so I put some nail stickers with my dip powder. How I do it in case anyone asks: after doing two layers of color (i use the pour over method), I put the stickers on and press down hard to make sure they adhere completely. Then when I use the liquid again, I put it on a bit heavy to make sure none of the sticker gets missed and press my nail into the clear dip so that layer is a bit thicker. I do that so that when I use my nail drill to smooth out any rough bits, I don't accidentally go too deep and hit the sticker as Ive done that in the past.
