This is the first in a series of Halloween mani's which represent month number two for the Digit-al Dozen! In case you forgot, The Digit-al Dozen is a group of twelve lovely ladies (including myself) who take one week every month to do a theme manicure series.  For our preview week, we did Red and last months theme was Blue.  This week's theme is Halloween which is a bit early but apt for the month!  I didn't do this month like the last two where I had started with one manicure and transformed it into another.  I decided to just do five separate art designs this round since I love Halloween and there are so many things I wanted to try out!!  For today I've done something super simple!! Spiders!! I started  with OPI Skull & Glossbones which remains one of my favorite polishes of ever!  I used it last year for a sort of similar mani with mummies and spiders.  This time I kept it easy with a spider web and a little spider making his way across to my index using my Models Own nail art pen in black.  Then I used Nubar Black Polka Dots for the pinky and middle fingers!  Easy and fun!!  Don't forget to check out what my fellow trick or treaters are up to!!

Awhile back I found six or seven of the China Glaze Vintage Vixen Collection on clearance at Ulta for next to nothing.  The colors were nice and I already had a few of them at home so I went ahead and bought them.  But then I got into this mindset that since I already had all of them but three, I might as well hunt down those three so that I could complete the collection.  I mean, you're almost there, right?  This one was the last addition to my collection.  It's called Classic Camel, and honestly, I'm totally disappointed with it.  I so loved it in the bottle and in the swatches I saw on other people.  But on my nails, it just looks hideous.  I'm sure it has something to do with my skin tone but it's also just a really strange color once it leaves the bottle.  All the glorious gold, shimmery goodness of it disappears and it turns into this weird spicy mustard shade.  NOT my favorite of the collection, that's for sure.  After I got it on my nails it seemed a shame to take it all off and start over so I tried to save it with some Nubar flakies!  I really hated the whole thing though. I wasn't even motivated to put any art over it because I knew it wouldn't last 24 hours. Does that ever happen to any of you?
