31 DAY CHALLENGE, DAY 29 - inspired by the supernatural

We are winding our way towards the end of this 31 day challenge, and let me tell you... I am pooped! I don't even know why, perhaps it's the change in the weather, but lately I have been blanking in the inspiration department. For example, today's supernatural inspired manicure.
This is one of the challenges that I was looking forward to since the beginning, but I found myself unable to come up with an interesting idea. Nothing inspired me. Nothing... except for Pacman. Let me take a moment to walk you through the thought process that lead to this post.

Ghosts are supernatural, right? Weren't there colorful ghosts in Pacman? Were they ghosts? I'm not sure, I've never played Pacman. Let me Google it. Alright, close enough. I'm sure that Pacman ghosts are supernatural-ish. That works. Awesome.

For this manicure I started off with Cult Nails - Nevermore. For the ghosts, I used: essie - mezmerised, Milani - Yellow Whiz, OPI - Strawberry Margarita, Julep - Alicia, essence - let's get lost, essence - fame fatal, OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls. Aside from the eyes (for which I used a dotting tool), I free-handed the manicure this time. With that in mind, I don't think it came out too shabby.

I hope that you'll join me now in heading over to the other challenge blogs to check out their supernatural nails! Thanks for stopping by!

    1. LOL! Thanks so much - I can't believe how many people thought of Pacman on this one. I say, forget the Challenge and do a Pacman mani anyways! Who can resist little ghosts?! ;)

    1. :) Thanks Nicole - I was honestly stumped on this one. I had really wanted to do something a little spookier, but I couldn't think of a thing!

    1. It was SO much fun. I work in a department with a majority of men, and they never notice my nails. Someone noticed the ghosts and suddenly all these guys were into nails.

  5. This is adorable! I really like it! This challenge is so out of place. It's really hard to come up with anything that's supernatural that translates. I was dreading this one!

    1. This one was kind of... sad? I was so excited until it was time to actually create a supernatural theme. Bummer! If it was a little earlier it would have tied perfectly into Halloween.
