Good Day polished world!  Hope everyone is doing swimmingly.  Today is Day 12 of the 31 Inspired Days of Nail Art Challenge.  Today's theme is Chevron, something which I really have never done before.  I did attempt them awhile back, but the colors were all wrong and it was awful.  The manicure literally lasted about 10 minutes on my nails, if even.

Since Halloween is fast approaching, I decided to start take inspiration from it and start figuring out a way to combine the challenge with this time of year.  If my manicures aren't Halloween themed from here until the 31st, then expect them to have Fall colors.  Ten bucks bets I will go back on this, I mean, I'm not quite sure how I can do a Halloween saran wrap manicure or jelly sandwich.  So we shall see.  Don't worry though, I have some super cute manicures planned for Halloween which I will be posting in replacement of the challenge during the week of Halloween.  Reason I'm taking a break and doing this is because I don't have time in my life to swatch so many manicures to do both a challenge and Halloween nail art, and well I really want to do Halloween nail art.

Anyways, I'm rambling.  For this Halloween Chevron manicure, I grabbed all my Halloween-ish colors.  Those were black, orange, purple, green, and yellow.  I sat staring at them thinking of which would look cool together.  I really wanted to use my purple and green so those were a must.  I painted on my purple and did my middle and ring finger as accents and was planning on doing black chevron tips.

While this manicure probably would have looked awesome, it was a tad boring in my busy, Little Canvas, mind.  I remembered patchwork manicures that I had seen on other blogs and on Pinterest and thought "hey why couldn't I have patchwork chevrons?"  Thus, the Frankenstein chevron was born.  Take a look.
