Little Bit of Samhain

Hey there my Darklings and Snarklings!

Guess what? Samhain is coming up!!! Or for you non-pagans or people who do not wish to celebrate Samhain, you have Halloween! Or even Dia de Los Muertos. That's a thing, too. :D

So since most of you know about the other two, I'm going to talk about Samhain a little bit. It's a very important holiday to pagans, at least the ones that celebrate more Celtic traditions and such, that celebrates the final harvest before the winter months.

Fun fact: Samhain is when the veil is the thinnest between the worlds. That means that spirits of all kinds are easily accessible. Unfortunately, ALL kinds are available. This means that you have to be careful if you choose to work with any of them or want to work with any of them.

I would like to say that if you do choose to do spirit work on Samhain, please be extremely careful. You never quite know what you're going to get.

I can't say I have much to say. I enjoy Samhain, and having a feast for my ancestors. I leave a little offering for them that night and do what I can for them as if they were alive.

It's not too bad.

If you have questions, feel free to ask! I'm full of information.

Lots of love.

Short Candy Corn Nails

Greetings Darklings and Snarklings.

So I thought I'd show you a little bit of something that I do every year for Halloween. It's a simple thing because I can't really do a lot of things with my nails (I'm not very coordinated). So, here's some pictures of what I had going.

So number one you are going to have to get your white, orange, and yellow nail polish. It helps if you have a liner for the white.





The next step is to add your yellow to the bottom of the nail (or the top if you feel like doing it in reverse. no harm there, I just prefer to do mine with they yellow at the bottom).






Next up is the orange. I put some of it on the yellow and some of it on just the plain nail so you can kind of get the transition effect.




And finally, just put a little white line on the top (or bottom) to show that part of the nail to be the end of the candy corn.








My lines are not so great, but you can try and show me how you did!

Lots of love,

Gel Liner Crusty? Try This!

Greetings my little darklings and snarklings!

I just wanted to show you all a little tip with makeup.

So I have this problem with gel liner that it seems to gum up and crust up after a little while. After doing some research, I learned a really cool thing: You can fix it.

Check this out!

All you need is two things (besides your gel pot):

A toothpick and eyedrops.


















These are the before pics of my gel pot. Behold how absolutely crusty it is.

Now, add the eye drops. Two to four are fine. Make sure to poke about four to six holes in the gel with the toothpick to give it time to seep in a little bit.




 



As you can see in the last photograph, It's very liquid-y and very awesome. You can pat it down into a more manageable form with probably some wax paper or something. I didn't pat mine down so that I could grab things a little bit better with my gel brush.

Anyway, thought you all might want to know about this nifty trick. Eye drops can also restore your regular eyeshadows and things. You just have to know how much to add. I'll probably bust up some eyeshadow and show you guys how to do it sometime soon, just for fun. I know you guys will enjoy it, like I do.

Goth it up with some amazing gel liner!!

Have fun guys.
