Scaredy Cat

Hello ladies,

With his back arched and fur on end, the Halloween kitty tries to give the Moon a fright. In response, the Moon emits a purplish glow. Kitty still has many more tricks to play...

I began with Nubar Arencia, a coppery orange shade. Using Konad black special polish, I stamped the scaredy cat from design plate T13. I hung a purple Moon in the sky. With the striper in the Nubar Royal Amethyst two in one nail art pen, I tipped my nails in a coordinating purple.



Arencia looks like embers in bright sun.
Pyrite.

Here comes Rebus, ready to receive affection. Rebus belongs to my sister's neighbors. He's a gregarious fellow.

Arencia is the perfect shade for fall. The flashes in the glass flecked shimmer mirror the color of leaves turning. If your climate doesn't allow all four seasons, you can replicate one on your nails. I am showing three coats.

I rather love doing Halloween manicures. Any excuse to put a black cat on my nails works for me!

Royal Amethyst is from the Bejeweled Nail Art Pen Collection. Arencia is part of the Venetian Glass Collection. These polishes were sent to me for review and can be purchased at bynubar.com.

Image plate T13 was provided for my consideration. Please stop by chez-delaney.com to see the full line of nail art stamping plates. The popular H series was just restocked!

Happy painting, ladies!

  13. Pyrite. A word unto itself. Silver matching that of Rebus and Dusty. And I shall tie it together with the cats on your nails and the polish on Shannon's fingernails. Perhaps she looks up to you and your professional manicures. I think yes. Emulate - the best form of flattery.

  15. Too many oranges! I really really want to try my orange shimmer shade now! I haven't tried it yet, its in my box of untrieds, along with quite a few others...possibly half my collection...

    How many times do you wear one colour Diana? I find that even though I don't mean to, I usually only wear them once!
