You know when I said that my previous Halloween nails would be my last for the season? Yeah well, then a package came with these pumpkin decals right after I came back from my trip and I realized that not having Halloween nails for the actual holiday wouldn’t make me very happy. The only reason not to have them in fact, is because I wasn’t planning to share any more Halloween-related posts. It occurred to me that this is quite a silly reason. After agonizing over this for longer than I’d like to admit, I decided that I would create another Halloween manicure and film the process. If I liked the result, I would just share it here outside of my usual schedule and postpone the rest of my content a bit. Blogging is about having fun, right?

This manicure is very similar to the previous one I shared. Again, I wanted the decals to pop against the base and since they’re fairly bright, I thought a black base would work well. I also wanted some extra drama so I used the same flake glitter I used before knowing how well it complemented the orange colors in my previous manicure. Finally, taking yet more inspiration from, you guessed it, the previous manicure, I added some Swarovski crystals. This time though, the crystals are quite large so I only added them to one nail on each hand. They have a very subtle orangey shift so I thought they went well with the other orange colors.

Thank you for reading/watching. Be you. Always.
