HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Hubble bubble, toil and trouble!

 

So its here, the 31st October!

And I've been saving these nails for a little while, especially for the occasion. Im very glad I did!

 

*Disclaimer* Please ignore the messy edges, I havent had very much time today between these and work. So didnt clean up before taking pictures! (Bad blogger Alex!).

 

 

 

I thought I'd do abit of different halloween on each nail, because I did have a fair few ideas, but apart from one nail, they didnt really extend much further. So I thought I'd combine them all, and see how it turnt out.

I like it :)

My little Frankenstien head is my fav I think.. Oh and also the black cat too!

Seeing as I'm doing nothing but working today, I really wanted a cool halloween mani, and I feel like I've definately done that.

Angry Birds Trilogy [Game]

This is a very different post to what your all used to seeing! A ps3 game.

You may be thinking “huh?, Why?”  But what I haven’t told you guys is that in all honesty, I do enjoy playing computer games! I have a Playstation 3, Nitendo DS, and an xbox. So for a girl you may say that’s rather a lot! However I use them all for different gaming.

Anyway back to the actual point of this post!

Angry Birds has completely taken off in the last year or so, from a simple little android game, to full on board games, plush toys, and even different themes! Also, I’ve seen that “Angry Birds Star Wars” is due to come out on November 8^th and will be available on IOS and MAC! Here’s some art work. *eeeek excited!*

 

But when I saw that they were bringing this to playstation, I knew I really had to have it.

 

I paid £22.99 for this from argos, but for some reason, the next day they didn’t have it anymore – you can find it mostly anywhere though. I must say, it is well worth the money, there is so much to do! According to playstation forums/blogs this will take 300+ hours to complete and get a platinum trophy on. Which for £23 is a game well worth your money!

On the one disk you get all levels of Angry Birds Classic, Seasons, and Rio. Plus extra little bonus levels too!

Im completly addicted to this, and even more so on the PS3 as you can earn trophies.

I have a feeling this will keep me very much entertained for a while to come yet!

Freaky Friday - Nightime scene

This was something I thought was abit different for halloween, and not the traditional, scary, gorey kind of stuff.

Also, this could almost double up as a christmas scene.. could add more stars, or snow, and viola!

 

Anyway, going to far ahead of myself :)

 

This is a more subtle halloween look, that could work for many people, of all ages.

Saying this was my first time doing a 'scene', it turned out well, and to be honest, the more creepy, and shaky it is, the better! It is halloween an all :)

So thats it, freaky fridays are gone. And I've quite enjoyed doing it! Next thing is bonfire night, and CHRISTMAS!! Eeeek.

 

Whatever all of you lovelies have planned for halloween this year, stay safe, and hope you have buckets of fun!

NOTW - Get to the point!

I just fancied doing some simple, yet effective nails this week, as I shall be taking them off to do freaky fridays. So I didnt want to spend ages on them!

But in all honesty I actually really like them!

Yeah the points could of worked out abit better, but there not terrible, and I really like the 2 colours together.

I think it looks fun, girly, but subtle.

 

 

Not only is this actually a mani I didnt intend on liking all that much, but its actually turned out to be the cheapest ever!

 

Revlon, Cloud - £1

Art Deco striper - £1

Avon nail experts 24K Gold strength - Free as part of a deal.

 

So for £2, I cant complain!

 

I will do a full review of the gold strength after enough time using it. I actually used this as a base coat, and to be honest, my nails do feel nice, but I'll let you all know :)

Freaky Friday.. On a monday!? Huh?

Eeee, I am sorry!

 

I tried to be organized and even pre-wrote this post, got my pictures sorted ready to do after work on Friday, and then something came up, and BAM! Didnt even do my post :(

I apologise.

 

But here it is anyway, and im still going to do one this friday too, so we'll just have to have 2 fridays this week - which I think should be a law anyway! :)

Ocotober has gone fricken quick (just like the whole year come to that!)

This weeks freaky Friday is abit more subdued. Something you could perhaps wear if your working, or going to a more grown up Halloween party. However, like most nail art designs I do, this can be totally personalised! As you can see, I’ve used a black base, this can be changed to any colour you fancy, and the same goes with the type of glittery top coat you use.

I actually like this, although my pictures are rubbish! The lighting was wack! The red I used in a previous nail art had completely stained my fingers! It was just going all belly up!

But like I’ve said to all you beauts before, I shall share failures with you all! And although the actual nail design wasn’t a fail, the pictures were! It still gives you an idea though!

Hope you all like!

And I’d love to see some of your Halloween nail art ideas, or something your be wearing to a Halloween party! Feel free to leave links below, or contact me on twitter @alexheaney

NOTW - Support for Cancer

Back to a regular NOTW post, featuring fingers again! (: (however I quite liked the toe nail post?)

Anywho, so as we all know what this month is all about, I thought id do a mani to fit in.

 

I've been lucky enough to not have anyone close to me suffer with any kind of cancer, and obviously as a women, breast cancer is something that (weather we want to or not), worries us, as we all have a set! And not only that, men can have breat cancer too!

 

I used 2 of my favourite pinks for this nail art Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream, and SinfulColours Scandal.

 

I think this weeks, is a really cute, girly way of showing that you support any kind of research into cancer research.

Freaky Friday - Bloody Hell!

Here's abit more of a gory halloween design, which I actually really do like!

 

I used a fleshy beige colour [Sally Hansen, beige blast], and a very bright red [Revlon, All fired up] a dotting tool, and viola!

 

You can actually mess around with different colours and things, for example, a black base, and then neon green, orange or yellow as the drips.

Or even do it the other way around, so instead of the drips coming from the bottom of your nail, they could come from the top.

 

Many different things to play around with (:
