Tutorial: Glamorous Grave Nails
For Halloween, I wanted to create a grungy look to match my Sorceress costume. I got to playing in my nail polish and the photo above is what I ended up with.

So a coat has to cover my bum. I don’t wear hats and scarves all of the time, so I always look for a coat with a nice hood. Living in the Snowbelt/Windy City, you need a [...]

Zoya Charla (aff) & Wet N Wild Party of Five Glitters Some of my toes are doing a weird lean.
