Wheel Art

Haven't been painting my nails lately.  I've shortened and squared off my nails again since I wasn't liking the shape before.  But I have been doing some nail art on some nail wheels.

 Zombie Nails


From left to right:
1. A sort of zombie crossing.
2. Eye and nose with worm coming out of the nose.  The pupil streaked down when I put on a top coat so it sorta looks like the pupil fell out of the eye.  I don't think that can actually happen, but I left it instead of a fixing it.
3. Zombie eye.
4. Zombie hand, but you can barely see it, should have used a different background colour or a lighter green.
5. Hand reaching out from the ground.


Show Off Skeleton


Skeleton showing off some painted tips.


Octopus Attack



Not really Halloween-y, but I was watching an episode of Arthur and it was the episode that D.W. was afraid of octopi after watching a show and wouldn't go into the water at the beach.  So octopus attacking a boat.  Scary to somebody, real or fictional.

Also, Treat Yo Self.  I love Donna from Parks and Recreation and soooo happy that she was featured more in the latest episode.

Painted Roses

Decided to practice doing some painted roses instead of the swirly ones. Wasn't really a big fan of those since I found them to be kinda thick.


I think these turned out alright. Used acrylic paints to paint them on instead of polishes. Really liked the black with white roses so I decided to do a full mani with it.


Really liked this, but it was difficult to paint my right hand. Two coats of Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro in Black Satin, black and white acrylic paint and a green Dabo polish for the leaves.

Valentine-ish Nail Wheel.

I haven't been painting my nails lately, 1. they're yellowing a bit so I'm giving them a breather and 2. lots of cooking for Chinese New Year, don't want any polish chips in food. So I did a nail wheel of designs one might do for Valentine's Day. It's alright, I only like a few, but that's why nail wheels are great. Try out a design on them before doing them on actual nails. Though sometimes it looks better on the nail wheel than my fingers. Probably 'cause it's so much easier to paint on something larger and I don't have to use my left hand.

Easy Holiday Wheel Two


More easy to do nail art. I have too much time on my hands. Favourites = sparkly Christmas tree and Santa jacket. Least favourite = red and gold ornament, green glitter with golden ornament and the gingerbread man head.

Easy Holiday/Party Nails


Nail wheel featuring some pretty easy nail art. Wanted to try out some designs to see how they look. Dunno if I'm gonna use any of them for a full mani.
