Ha!ha! I&#8217;m sneaking in a Halloween post because I can! I know I promised to show you the rest of my hand painted nails but, I am totally digging Halloween nails right now and wanted to show you guys what I&#8217;ve been wearing for the last week or so.<br \/>\nI also wanted to point out that I had decided a few weeks ago to do a UV gel overlay on my nails seeing as how so many of them were cracked or broken and u did not want to gut them down. It has been a learning curve for sure but I think I&#8217;m staring to get the hang of these gel sculptured nails thingy! I have done them about three times now (once as a full set and two more times as a fill) and I have only applied a thin coat of gel over my natural nails, I have not used tips to lengthen my nails in any way. I also used the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xovain.com\/nails\/tea-bag-wraps-for-broken-nails\">tea bag method<\/a> to repair any broken or cracked nails. Works like a charm! The difficulty with the at home gel is building up the gel and getting it to stay where you need it to. I also have a small <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sallybeauty.com\/on\/demandware.store\/Sites-SA-Site\/default\/mProduct-Show?pid=SBS-215260\">Seche Vite UV light<\/a> and I don&#8217;t think the uv rays of the light actually reach parts of the nail leaving un-cured gel that gets wiped off when you clean up. Always make certain to get the whole surface of the nail is exposed to the light to avoid this problem.<br \/>\nAny how I also wanted to mention that my nail polish seems to last a great deal longer with the gel overlay! I just used a good thick coat of Seche Vite Top Coat on top to seal everything in. I have read that you can also add a layer of builder UV gel on top of your polish nice it is completely dry to really seal it in (I have not done this yet because I like to change my polish a few times a week!)<br \/>\nSo here are my Halloween nails:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alteredizzy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/20131012-114729.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alteredizzy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/20131012-114729.jpg\" alt=\"20131012-114729.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alteredizzy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/20131012-114743.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alteredizzy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/20131012-114743.jpg\" alt=\"20131012-114743.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI used a bunch of stamping plates for the designs on my Cinderella hand and painted the other hand using acrylic paints. I had a really hard time with the brain and as a result it has a phallic look to it. Oh well I guess it will just have to do for the next few days, it is a long weekend this weekend here in Canada and I get to go to my turkey on at my best friend&#8217;s house woohoo! <\/p>\n<p>For this look I used:<br \/>\nEssence  do you speak love?, grey-t to be here, L.O.L, iced strawberry cream<br \/>\nRevlon spirit<br \/>\nMaybelline Color Show lustrous lime<br \/>\nSally Hansen Xtreme Wear disco ball<br \/>\nKaraja anti shock system N.10<br \/>\nSeche Vite Top Coat<br \/>\nI used acrylic paint for the Frankensteins, Count Dracula and the brain. <\/p>\n<p>Stamping plates used for this look:<br \/>\nMash 29, 48, 37<br \/>\nShany SH217, 206<br \/>\nBundle Monster BM13,<br \/>\nWinstonia W116<\/p>\n<p>I would love to see your Halloween nail art, feel free to share them here!<\/p>\n<p>Next up I will be posting the rest of my hand painted designs!
