OK, so this year I planned out a proper Hallowe'en post and everything. Did the nails, took the photographs etc. well in advance. After a long day at school on the 31st (I was a little bit excited though, as we never have school on Hallowe'en. I decided to take a 'quick nap' and went to bed at like 5 pm, fully intending to be up in time to post this at a suitably witchy hour.

I woke up at half eleven, ladies and gentlemen. Half eleven. Missed all the trick-or-treaters and everything :( Highly depressed, I set about doing all my homework and didn't get a chance to post this until it was too late and Hallowe'en had been and gone. I still think these photos are too potentially shocking to miss, though.



Orange polish.
With black nail stamping.
Then black crackle polish.
Then PINK crackle polish.


BEHOLD





ARE YOU SCREAMING YET


I was. Looked like my nails were decaying, to be honest with you.



aaaargh.


If you're a real daredevil, here's a bonus of WINTER FEET.




rawr.

Hoping all the brave souls that battled their way to the end of this post had a more enjoyable Hallowe'en than myself?

Summer nail trends for feet! Now, I went to all the trouble of creating a special graphic so ya'll don't have to see the feet and can casually scroll along your dashboard for the next non-feet related post. Not my fault if you enter and mentally scar yourself!


So I wanted to swatch my chosen colours for my Summer Nail Trends post on my feet. I wouldn't wear ALL of these as pedicure colours, but a fair few have a shot. Behold:


In different light:


Big Toe: Nails Inc 'Milan'
Second Toe: Barry M 'Cyan Blue'
Middle Toe: Essie 'Bermuda Shorts'
Fourth Toe: ASOS Paints 'Lily'
Little Toe: ASOS Paints 'Olivia'

I've already worn 'Milan' as a pedicure and I have worn 'Cyan Blue' but didn't really rate it, so for this summer, I think I'll pass. I liked 'Bermuda Shorts' and 'Olivia' as well.

And this post lacks a snappy ending. Sorry. *wanders off for coffee*

Yes, you heard me. A post. About feet. Feet haters, kindly look away now :P

So my feet have been increasingly neglected since...well. Last summer? Not a pretty sight.

Just to reiterate:

Yeah. Gross. Feel free to "ew". I "ew"ed. Multiple times.

Anyway, so I was sitting there doing French revision, and I thought, "Why not spice this up a bit? Have some fun while you're trying to remember how to conjugate verbs ending in 'er'" So I went to the bathroom and got myself a bucket, and basically did a makeshift pedicure. All sorts of nastiness went down (consider, this is after I've done D of E, as well. You can imagine) but yeah, I had a nice soak while I was doing my French. And the result?

BOOM. Ready for the summer. Or for Holy Thursday/Good Friday (wow, I'm a bad Catholic. Can't actually remember which day it is that the Priest washes the feet of selected parishoners.) foot washing. My Mum volunteered last year and she has lovely feet, and had her toes painted with a blue Nails Inc polish, I think. (Again: I can remember what polish my Mum had on, but not a vital part of Catholic doctrine? Niiice.)

I don't actually own any shoes which show off my toes, but we do go barefoot for Karate, so at least I'll be able to see them, newly preened and polished, once a week. Woo.

If you've made it to the end of this post, I'm guessing you don't mind/aren't icked out by the average foot. Know anyone that is? I know plenty, lol...

EDIT: If you made it this far, would you mind popping over here and helping me out? Thanks :)
