Half Moon Nails

The polishes I used for my half moon nails are Mer-Maid For Each Other by Nicole O.P.I & Mint Mojito by Cover Girl Outlast. I applied 1 coat of Mer-Maid for Each Other and waited for it to dry. Then I placed a paper reinforcement and applied a coat of Mint Mojito. Peel off the reinforcement while polish is still wet. Here is a step-by-step picture tutorial.

Bloody Ghouls

I had some time today and wanted to do a Halloween themed nail design. The inspiration came from this YouTube video. For the dripping blood I used Blanc from Essie and Berry Sweet from Nicole O.P.I. The ghouls were Licorice from Essie and Blanc from Essie. This was a simple and easy design.

Paint and Dash

I picked up 3 Nicole O.P.I polishes this weekend at Target. This one is called Am I Making Myself Claire? It's from the Modern Family collection. Nicole polish brushes are flat and thick so it makes applying very easy. I prefer the Nicole line to the regular O.P.I. 

Since I was in a rush to leave I only applied 1 coat. 

Next time I might do 2 coats but I was

in a rush today.
