Artsy Wednesday: Halloween

Happy Halloween! Predictably, this week’s Artsy Wednesday theme is Halloween.

NOTD: essie-inspired Autumn half-moons

  I was feeling uninspired with my Autumn manis (but with a million ideas for Spring manis… argh reverse seasons) so I was really excited when I came across this look: It’s the mani the models rocked for the Michael Lo Sordo SS 12/13 show, done using essie Sew Psyched and Case Study.
