3 Different Halloween Nail Art Tutorials

I just thought that it might be a good idea to put all the Halloween Nail Art Tutorials that I did last year on one post. I plan to be making some more costume oriented designs this year so if you need nail art for your costume or just have an idea please leave it in the comments section! Thanks and enjoy!

Fire Nails

Since I haven't put up a nail art tutorial on my youtube channel in a while I figured that today I would bite the bullet. From my previous posts you can probably tell that I've just been going with plain nails--meaning that I've been letting all my amazing new colors I've recently purchased do all the work. Honestly I wasn't ready to go full fling into hardcore nail art today so instead I took the middle road and went with something easy, not to obvious and best of all quick. The technique that used is actually called marbling. It is basically swirling wet polishes together to create a marbled effect. If you've been with me long enough you might remember a water marbeling video/blog post--well this is the same idea without the water. So here is what I ended up with--nothing to ostentacious but also unique as each nail is a little different:

Korres Blush Review and Swatches

Korres blushes to me are simply put: Amazing! Currently available at Sephora (or where you can find Korres Makeup) these blush are .21oz and cost $22 USD. There are six colors available which include:

  1. 15 Natural (golden nude)
  2. 16 Pink (pink rose)
  3. 18 Peach (peachy pink)
  4. 32 Purple Brown (plum beige)
  5. 44 Orange (golden peach)
  6. 47 Orange Brown (peachy beige)

I personally own 16, 18, 44 and 47 and love everyone of them. Each is richly pigmented, smooth and blendable. All of the shades also have a varying degree of shimmer however even the shades with a heavier shimmer are not glitterbombs and if well buffed leave just a dewy glow. My personal favorite shade is 44 Orange. It is bright yet natural and a unique shade that can be worn everyday and in my opinion is the essential summer shade. Of the four the only cool shade is 16 Pink. Although the shade is cool and my skintone is warm the shade still works wonderfully. This shade is also the one with the least shimmer (nearly matte). Below are some pictures and swatches of the aforementioned shades...
