How about some soft nail art? I know, I know...it's Halloween season. But as I am a contrarian, I have a deep need for some light springy vibes right now. I'm sure I'll fall back to Halloweeny things some time in December.

I like easy nail art. I like abstract nail art even more. I will combine these two at every opportunity. Today's bit of art fulfills both these silly requirements. I actually used an orangewood stick to create the dashes here, and I love the irregular finished look. And drybrushing is another easy/lazy/quickie art technique. You can't do it wrong, which makes it the most perfect method ever. Trust me, I'm an expert in it!
Colors Used
China Glaze Boho Blues

Are you a fan of out-of-season colors? The more black and orange I see, the more I feel a need for pastels and soft nudes. I'll have to do some halloweeny stuff in these colors, just to be slightly appropriate.
I feel you. Standing out from monotony is good so yes to pastels as well
ReplyDeleteThis is fun! I love the pink!
ReplyDeleteLook at you - all nail arting. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to get "dry brush" with an orange stick! I've been lazy and wearing the same color for days (a purple, shocker) but I also love non-traditional polishes out of season. It goes with our crappy weather here lol.
ReplyDeleteIt might not be Halloween but I still love it!
ReplyDeleteThis design is very unusual.
ReplyDeleteI love when you go the abstract route. You have such a great eye for it.
ReplyDeleteBoho Blues is one of my favorite polishes EVAH. This came out great.
ReplyDeleteVery fun abstract look!
ReplyDeleteI like this but I'm basic and normally stick to deep, vampy shades in the fall. However, as I'm typing this I'm wearing a charcoal holographic, which might be cheating, haha!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely with you on the off-season colors, especially around holidays. I just don't like the idea of polish that's only suitable to wear a few days out of the year.
ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty! Very low key but interesting.
ReplyDeleteI really love the dry brushing on the middle pink nail!
ReplyDeleteI do tend to reach for more "un-trendy" colors for fall, like the smoky nudes and mauves :-D
ReplyDeleteLove your color choices and the pattern you did.
ReplyDeletethat's pretty! wonderful choices. on the first mani, the one blob looks like sunglasses, which i think is totally cute!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and eye catching. I love the way the black looks against the soft background
