{October Spooktacular} Nailed It! | While He Was Napping

I had originally intended to give a little tutorial on a Halloween-themed pedicure for this post… and then I realized “I have kids.” A little slow there on that realization, right? Ha. Ha. So, after I spent two days working on this pedicure and realizing it looks like I dropped a couple bottles of Halloween-colored paint on the feet, I opted against that. Okay, it’s not quite that much of a wreck, but “hot mess” definitely applies in this case.

THIS is my Hot Mess… and commence uproarious laughter. It’s okay, you have permission. I’m sure this should be on Pinstrocity or Craft Fail (don’t know what those are = Google it. But only if you have an hour and a nice strong bladder. You’ll be ROFL, literally. It’s hysterical that the image isn’t even in focus… total FAIL. I’m going to blame that on my kids too. I’m not even bothering to watermark the image; because, if you want to steal it, go right ahead… It’ll probably do me a favor to not have my name attached to it… haha.

Good call on not doing that tutorial… am I right?! So, instead… I thought I’d give you a look at what possibilities you ‘could’ do. Now, of course, you can’t do half of these yourself – especially if you have kids that think it’s not a big deal to make you get them things (like lunch and snacks, darn kids) while you’re trying to paint your nails… but it’s nice to dream every once in a while and admire other’s work.

Pinning Disclaimer: {I searched Pinterest and found all these images there; but, because I’m awesome, I actually tracked down the original posts these photos appear in. Do you know how many pins went back to the original photos? Not a SINGLE ONE. So… because these nail artists deserve the props – and because I took the time to track them down – if you wish to pin any of these fantastic photos, please visit the source site and pin from there. You can find the sources by clicking the photos or the ‘Source’ link below each photo. Thanks!}

Because, why not start at completely outlandish?! Check these babies out. They look like they should be on display in a nail studio window or something. There is no waay you could ever do… well, anything, with nails like that. But, they are totally stunning and incredibly cool.

These glitter toxic slime nails are very awesome… and, dare I say, even doable for a normal person. Scotch tape can do amazing things. And, personally, I love the touch of glitter. Tones down the “eww” but leaves the “eek” completely intact.

Nail Stamps… now, maybe I’m living under a I-can’t-afford-to-have-cute-nails-because-my-kid-needs-diapers rock, but that’s something I hadn’t heard of yet. I find that to be a very nifty idea indeed. And I am loving this spider web stamp. Awesome.

This was the idea I started going for on my pedicure… and made it as far as my entire two big toes (that’s all everyone else has too, right?). I have these teeny tiny little slivery nails on my pinky toes and decided there was no way to visibly get three colors on that little sliver. But I still think the candy corns are neat. And they make me hungry…

These glowing cat eyes definitely have a creepy factor. They leave me speechless… so just bask in these for a few seconds… oooohh.

And, if you’ve been around here for very long, you know that I am a word art fiend. I love it and this version is no different. Annnnd….. they are decals, so with the help of a friend (or reluctant, but loving hubby) anyone can do this. Not sure I could make myself shell out the $15, but cute nonetheless.
