The Halloween Nails That Weren't

It was my intention to create sparkly Halloween Nails but over the coarse of the last week they've moved in an entirely different direction. This is like Halloween and Easter combined. This is Cult Party Kei on my fingers.
Let me break it down for you. I started with a layer of glitter via Ciate's Sequin Manicure set in Super Duper. Then I visited legendary nail artist Naomi Yasuda (She does Beyonce' and Gaga FYI) who went over my glitter with Ciate Jewel and did two of my nails in an Orly pink with hand placed rhinestone spoooooky crosses! Finally, I attended a makeup launch the other day where manicurists did a diagonal french in Julep colors Carrie and Susie.
What do you think? Can I possibly fit anything ELSE on my non halloween nails? I'll have to save my black and orange ideas for next April...

Custom Cuteness

I loved making these quilted vinyl heart hats for Kindra and Laura so I was thrilled when I got another custom order for one in PINK. Obsessed with this bubble gum color. I need to find time to sew myself a whole costume from it! Anyway, how much do you love this design?

Also taking a moment to show off my new manicure by Michelle at Fierce Nail Spa in Harlem. I'm not keeping my purple hair come September so I figured if I wanted to get matchymatchy with a purple manicure, now was the time. Speaking of which, I love how big nail art has become. when my mom was my age she and her friend used to paint elaborate patterns on each others nails and then go down to the store and photocopy their hands so they could remember all the different designs. She still has the images. That was in the '70s. It only took 40 years for it to fully catch on.
