Nail Art for Nubs Monday

I seriously have a love hate relationship with Mondays but this challenge is part of what makes me love Mondays. I always look forward to trying something new and check out the other great nails that the girls who participate come up with. Today I am keeping it simple and going with two of my favorite things: Hello Kitty and Cult Nails. I started with two coats of Cult Nails Nevermore on all my nails. I stamped on a Hello Kitty skull pattern on all my nails except the ring finger using Cult Nails Tempest and Fab Ur Nails FUN plate 9. For my accent nail I went with a skull and crossbones Hello Kitty. I know it is supposed to be the Hello Kitty equivalent of a pirate skull and crossbones emblem but all I see when I look at is is Nick Fury. Maybe it's just me though...either way I love it! I finished it all off with a coat of Seche Vite.

Monday's Nail Art for Short Nails

Lately more often than I would normally like I have been rocking some nubbin nails but they have really started to grow on me. A friend pointed me in the direction of an awesome collaboration of bloggers that every Monday create a post dedicated for the nubby challenged nails which is perfect to get me more comfortable with my new length. For this mani I decided to keep it pretty simple but I think the simplicity adds to the dramatic effect.

I started off with two coats of Loreal She's So Matte and then stamped using Color Club Twiggie and Cult Nails Tempest over it. I used the Bundle Monster Holiday set to create some zombie nails perfect for Halloween and the Walking Dead episode last night but mostly perfect for me because I LOOOOOVVVEEEE zombies!!! For the accent nail I put on Tempest and Twiggie and the same time and just carefully scraped. It's almost impossible not to get the colors to mix a little but either way I still love the haunting effect of the green zombie flesh over a matte black.
