For this one, I used a base of Orly Decoded and the rest was done with acrylic paints. The matte top coat is by Girly Bits: Polish Matt'rs (both purchased by me).

The Digital Dozen Does Re-Creations: Mummies by Adventures in Acetone

The Digital Dozen Does Re-Creations:

Jacki's Mummies

Today is the final day of the Digit-al Dozen Re-Creations Week and since Halloween is quickly approaching, I decided to do Adventures in Acetone's Mummies!

These are such cute mummies! I smeared the pinkie with top coat because I'm impatient. I also did the fan brush like Jacki did but you can't even SEE IT! Guess I used the wrong color and my hand was too light. But they're still cute and super easy!

I used Salon Perfect Sugar Cube for the base and OPI My Vampire is Buff for the fan part that you can't see LOL - too light. The rest is acrylic paint (except the red eyes which are Faby Red.)

And here's the side-by-side...

Please check out the links below for other great re-creation looks!

24 Nail Art Ideas for Halloween

24 Nail Art Ideas for Halloween

I thought I'd put together the nail art looks I've done for Halloween in the past for easy reference since the big day is rapidly approaching! My leaves are already falling and the chill is in the air at night. I'm dreaming of hauntings and ghostly figures. Pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns. This is my first year back home in Indiana and I live on a city block instead of in the country so I will have trick-or-treaters and I'm excited!

And of course I'm excited to binge-watch Hocus Pocus. Amok amok amok!!!

I'm chomping at the bit to get started on some new looks for Halloween so I bet you guys are too!

If you see anything you want to read about, just head over to my Pinterest Halloween Nail Art Board, find the one you like and click it to go right to the blog post!

And check it out on Buzzfeed!

This next trio was an Extend-a-Mani I just kept adding to each day.

What do you think? Some are super easy and some are moderate but none were really hard. Some of the easiest and fastest were my favorites!

If you do any halloween nail art this year, please feel free to share it on my Pointless Cafe Facebook page!

Happy Halloween!

The Digit-al Dozen Spooky Days: Day 4 - Spooky Toothpick Marble

Nothing To Disclose 

♥

I'm back for Day 4 and I can now say "And now for something completely different!" John Cleese would be proud. Though it's unlikely he would know a dry brush from a toothpick marble. But I did promise today wouldn't be dry brush.

My good ol' stand-by works well with Halloween colors and matted, it looks almost like crushed velvet!

Spooky Toothpick Marble

I started with bare nails and just did 3 quick swipes with the polish brush using Kiko 292 (purple), Zoya Rocha (orange) and Sinful Colors Black on Black. Finished up with the super matte of the new Zoya Matte Velvet Top Coat.

The Digit-al Dozen Spooky Days: Day 2 - Double Double Toil and Trouble

Nothing to Disclose

Double Double Toil and Trouble

Halloween Manicure

What's spookier than the witch scene of Macbeth?

    Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.
    Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin'd.
    Harpier cries:—'tis time! 'tis time!
    Round about the caldron go;
    In the poison'd entrails throw.—
    Toad, that under cold stone,
    Days and nights has thirty-one;
    Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
    Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!
    Double, double toil and trouble;
    Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
    Fillet of a fenny snake,
    In the caldron boil and bake;
    Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
    Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
    Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
    Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—
    For a charm of powerful trouble,
    Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
    Double, double toil and trouble;
    Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
    Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
    Witches' mummy; maw and gulf
    Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark;
    Root of hemlock digg'd i the dark;
    Liver of blaspheming Jew;
    Gall of goat, and slips of yew
    Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse;
    Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips;
    Finger of birth-strangled babe
    Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,—
    Make the gruel thick and slab:
    Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
    For the ingrediants of our caldron.
    Double, double toil and trouble;
    Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
    Cool it with a baboon's blood,     Then the charm is firm and good.

For this mani I used a base of Kiko 327, one of my favorite grey cremes. I dry brushed black over all the the accent nail where I did a simple "dotticure" with black and Zoya Rocha. Matte top coat on all but the accent nail.
