Someone's always watching....

Ever wish you could have an extra set eyes on the back of your head? This #manicuremonday I have found you a fix for that. With Halloween just around the corner I bet you're looking for something spooky to adorn. Even if you aren't, you've come to the right place for Halloween-ready unearthly nails. 

Don't limit yourself to decals and decorations made specifically for nails. Think outside the box and try a craft store for nail enhancement. I've finally come up with the best way to dress up your nails, Halloween style, have the most creative nails at the costume party and freak out your friends all with one style.

Two words: googly eyes (although I'm not sure if that counts as two words because I'm not sure if googly is actually a word. oh well)

Eyeballs are this season's perfect charm, didn't you hear? Black and white nails can go with any costume, especially the scary ones, and no one else will have thought of this inventive ornament. If you're looking to match it with something other than a Halloween costume, black and white all over works fine,  but I took it to the next level and played with an eye theme.

Think outside the box this Halloween and every day. Manicures are the easiest and most fun way to express and decorate yourself. Paint responsibly.

A Dollop of Daisy

No, the title for today's post doesn't refer to Marc Jacobs' fresh, summery scent (that deserves a whole post to itself) and it most certainly is not in reference to the goodness that is Daisy sour cream because I'll never stop if I get started on that. As I've mentioned before, I adore any kind of floral print or accent in my wardrobe; daisies in particular. One might even say that I'm daisy crazy (; There's no flower quite like a daisy, simply for the effortless simplicity of it. While on one of my excursions at Buffalo Exchange, I was lucky enough to dig out these studs from the back of the jewelry rack. 

My one-of-a-kind find screams promise to any kind of outfit, whether it be dressy or casual, monochrome or color-blasted, and is a great addition no matter what season you're dressing for. I'm a sucker for quirky earrings because they help fashionistas express themselves without screaming for attention. I thought the best way to wear these earrings was to always tie an outfit together with something yellow.

Homework for the weekend: go decorate your house for Halloween, drink at least two pumpkin spice lattes, and find yourself some flowery/statement earrings. Your wardrobe will thank me later.

It's #manicuremonday !

With the temperatures dropping and days getting shorter it's plain to see how quickly autumn is falling upon us (ha ha). This was my first seasonal attempt at converting to darker, fall nail colors and my final chance to squeeze bright, summer-like colors into my look as well, doing my best to honor both seasons as they should be. 

And what is a unique manicure without its complemental outfit? Absolutely nothing, even though it seems to be Miley Cyrus's thing lately... we wouldn't want to take that away from her though.

 

            
           
                                                                                             
                  


                   No one ever said denim on denim couldn't be a thing and paired with darker tights and shoes it can be a fall thing too! I love mixing colors and a paint-splatter statement nail gave me the perfect excuse to bring turquoise, orange and blue together into one beginning-of-fall-ready outfit. Happy Monday everyone! Hope your day is full of autumn colors and hot apple cider.
