HALLOWEEN

Some of you may already know my parents have an annual Halloween party... rather than bore you with my ramblings I am going to leave you with this post of pictures. I also filmed some video that I edited together and is uploading now so if you're interested in that watch out for it on my YouTube channel!

Halloween Nails

I wanted to try a Halloween nail tutorial so I enlisted my Mum as a hand model. We have an annual Halloween party so I considered it a dry run for next weeks festivities. None of us has decided what to go as yet.. any suggestions are very welcome! Anyway... I saw a picture of Jack-O-Lantern style nails somewhere and was inspired. I wasn't sure how easy it would be so played it safe with crackle glaze over most nails and a statement nail art finger. I think I will try some different styles during the week.. maybe ghosts or witches... hmmm...

The pumpkin pattern was actually really simple to achieve with the nail art pen I have so I think I could be more adventurous with my next try.

What I used..

Models Own polish in Orange Sorbet

Barry M Crackle Nail Paint

Models Own Wahl Nail Art Pen

Let it be known that the extra bit of nail art (on the left)... entirely the models idea! Not that I'm not totally on board but it gives you an insight in to the mind of the woman who raised me and perhaps why I am like I am...

Hallowe'en Tutorials

I've had so many requests this year for Hallowe'en tutorials... well.. I did a lot last year.. some good some VERY bad and I figured most of you wont have seen them so... here they are!

Snookie - Halloween Look

Okay so when deciding what to go as this Halloween the general concensus voted JERSEY SHORE!!!

As a result I thought I'd try it out for a tutorial before I made my final makeup/costume decision.. especially as it's a group fancy dress deal.. I'm not convinced it will make the cut but I thought I'd post a picture for all of you that just read my blog or missed the video.. Here's what I did.. what do you think?

A sneak peek at my first ever Halloween Tutorial..

Be kind coz I was just making it up as I went along!

I used talc, foundation and moisturiser to create the rough texture and then made up over the top with blacks/purples and greens. I used NYX black pencil around my eyes and smudged it out... it's pretty much a big mess over a textured foundation but I hope it's an organised mess :)
