White- Julep Eileen // Black- Old
I know Halloween was a week ago, but I still wanted to share my second set of Halloween-themed nails. I used a black nail polish with a thin brush to create the lines for the spiderwebs on one hand. Then I used the end of a pen and a bobby pin as dotting tools to make the ghost faces on the other hand. Neither design took a long time and when I was finished I had one spooky set of nails!
Check back tomorrow for a few snaps from my Halloween Housewarming Party!
![BLOODMARKED by Tracy Deonn (@simonteen #gifted) • This was probably my most anticipated release of 2022 and it was amazing! LEGENDBORN catapulted onto my list of all-time favorite books when I read it a couple years ago and now BLOODMARKED is right up there with it.
I loved being back in this world and back with these characters. Bree is such an incredible main character. She can be critical of herself, but she’s also so brave and strong. She lets herself be vulnerable with her close circle of friends. She loves fiercely and she would go to the ends of the earth for the people that she loves. Throughout this book, Bree has so many questions about her powers. When she finally realizes the answer, I was like “Yesssss, girl, yessssss!!!”
I’m so in awe of the fantasy world that Deonn has created. I loved learning more about Bree’s magic in book 2 and it still feels like there’s so much left to discover about the magical workings of this world.
This book was action-packed up and I did not want to put it down! I saved it for my honeymoon so that I could read it in longer chunks. I’m so glad I did that because I feel like it really allowed me to immerse myself in the world as I was reading.
I enjoyed this book so much, from the character growth, to the battle scenes, to the themes of self-discovery and finding your path. I can’t wait for more people to read BLOODMARKED! If you haven’t read the LEGENDBORN books yet, what in the world are you waiting for??

Aw great job on the nails! I was a little uninspired nail art wise so ended up with Sally Hansen stickers
Thanks Kim! Oh, did you by any chance do the candy corn stickers? Love those! :)
Your nails look awesome! I was definitely not quite this festive on Halloween but I did wear orange!
Thank you Jackie! :)
