Halloween Nail Tutorial

Hey guys :) As it is nearing Halloween, I thought it was neccessary that I made a post with a 'Halloweeny' theme. Here's a tutorial on how to paint your nails in a cute Halloween style :), enjoy! I've also added in a fun picture of me at the end;), don't be scared!

Oh and by the way I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL NAIL ARTIST. Do not expect this to be amazing, I just do nail art for fun i guess haha. 

Here's a picture of the finished product 

Here's what you will need -

-White nail polish - Mine's MUA in All Nude £1 (Surprisingly good quality)
-Orange Nail Polish - Mine's Gelly High Shine by Barry M in Orange £2.99
-Matte/Shiny Black Nail Polish 
-Fine nail art brush/pen
-Cotton Pad with Nail Varnish remover, to wipe away mistakes.



Step 1 - Paint all of your fingers white, apart from the ring finger, which you paint orange. Repeat this if the first coat isn't thick enough.


Now it's time to add the designs to each nail. 

For the Spider web-


Step 1 - paint 3 straight lines, starting from the top left corner of your nail, dragging the nail polish diagonally across your nail. 

Step 2 - Add curved lines joining the 3 straight lines together. 

For the spider - 


Step 1 - Start by drawing an oval on your nail, then draw the string and the legs.

Step 2 - Wait for the black nail polish to dry before adding the white eyes. 

For the 'BOO' - 



Step 1 - Write boo in capital letters across the nail diagonally 

Step 2 - Draw a little witches hat above it, starting with a triangle and just drawing a line along the bottom of it.

For the Pumpkin - 


Step 1 - draw 2 triangles for eyes

Step 2 - Add and upside down triangle for a nose

Step 3 - Hard to explain what shape the mouth is haha, use picture for reference.

For the Bats - 


Step 1 - Well basically.. just draw bats? I haven't got a clue how you'd explain that? Copy the picture haha :) 

Here are the pictures of me as different Halloween creatures :), I made this on picmonkey, you should go check it out, it's fun :) they have loads of different themes, like you can make yourself a vampire, witch etc, I've done all of them ;)

Now for the special surprise image of me as different
Candy Skull                                 Zombie
Witch                                   Vampire

Autumn/Winter Wishlist


Hey everyone, as days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder, I feel like I'm in desperate need of getting a new winter wardrobe. So I decided to make a list on here of my fave things I've spotted, maybe this will help you guys out too :) 

TopShop-

Drench Crop Waffle By The Ragged Preist
  • Price: £45.00
I love the ombre affect to this cropped jumper. The description actually says teal but it looks more green to me? But either way i love both colours. I always seem to gravitate towards darker colours in the winter so this is perfect :) 

Miss Guided-

Elyce Chain Waffle Jumper In Grey

£21.99


I like this one.. well because grey's my best friend. This annoys me but it's just so easy to
wear, literally think of any colour and it would go perfectly with grey. I like the gold chain 
detailing aswell because it sort of makes the top seem less plain and well, grey ;)

New Look-

32in Blue Acid Wash Skinny Jeans

£22.99

Wedgewood blue (Blue) 32in Blue Acid Wash Skinny Jeans | 287876744 | New Look

I've wanted these jeans for so long, but when I went into New Look to buy them they 
didn't have my size! I love the acid wash and tie dye look at the minute so these are perfect!

Grey Across Strap Lace Up Ankle Boots


£22.99

Grey (Grey) Grey Across Strap Lace Up Ankle Boots | 291828904 | New Look

Yessss they are greeeey, I'm sorry, I just love these, they're cute and can go with 
anything :)

There was supposed to be a coat here but my laptops going crazy, sorry :( rubbish end to a 
post i know

Day At The Beach

Thought I'd share my Saturday with you :). Me and Izaak went to the beach with two other friends, Courtney and Callum, we ended up catching about 8 fish and having a (sort of) picnic. The beach we went to was really small and we were like the only people there, so that was great :)
Here are some images of the day-
Sorry about the picture quality isn't great as usual, these were taken on my phone. Don't worry, I'm getting a camera in November :). Also I have not edited these images at all
