First of all, you guys noticed I missed a post. I was really sick and almost couldn’t make it out of bed. I’m just starting to shuffle around now, but I wanted to get this post up. I’m hoping to get an extra post up next week too to make up for the missed one, but we’ll see.
This is my first Halloween inspired manicure for this season. It’s a more subtle take on the holiday so I hope this helps if you’re looking for more subtle ideas. The base is a neon orange, but in gloomier fall weather, it just has a slight glow. On top of that I have black lace full nail decals. The result is really easy to recreate and perfect if you don’t want to have things like ghosts or pumpkins on your nails.
Thank you for reading. Be Kind. Be you.
If it speaks to you, I used:
China Glaze Strong Adhesion base coat, here
China Glaze Fast Forward top coat, here
China Glaze “Sun Worshiper” nail polish, here
Black lace decals, as part of a set here

Hope that you are having a nice weekend and that you are feeling much better, it doesn’t sound like you’ve been having a good week! We went to our friends wedding yesterday so that was fun 🙂
