Final two Halloween Frankens

Hello dolls!!!

 

Last night when I got home from work I decided to create my last two Halloween polishes.

I decided to try doing more in tinted bases so I came up with Zombie Rot and Pumpkin Guts.

 

 

Zombie Rot is a green base with purple and black glitter in it. I can either build it up to opacity or layer it over a green or black.

For the swatches its 3 coats, 1 coat over China Glaze Paper Chasing, 1 coat over black.

 

 

I must say I love how it looks over black. The green shimmer transforms it into almost a dark green.

 

Pumpkin Guts is a orange base with black, white, orange and yellow glitter. For this polish i was inspired by the inside of a pumpkin. Again I can build this one up to opacity or layer it over a orange or a black.  

For the swatches its 2 coats alone, and 1 coat over black.

 

 

I think overall I love all the polishes I made layered over black. I just think that glitter looks so sharp when you layer it over black no mater what the color.

 

I have loved making polishes for Halloween, cant wait for Christmas to make more themed ones!!!!

My Halloween Frankens :)

As promised yesterday, today I have a post on the Halloween polishes that I made yesterday. Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the cool make-up, extreme lashes, and awesome costumes. And i also love the colors and the creative polishes that come out around then. So of course I had to make some of my own polishes for me to wear next month :).

 

I want to make 6 all together but for now I have 4.

Oger Brains, Hallows Eve, Witches Brew, and Sweets N Treats.

 

 

Oger Brains is a clear base polish with a ton of different shapes, sizes and tones of green glitter. I really wanted an all green glitter, as its defiantly a representation of Halloween but also can be worn any time of the year.

For the swatches its 2 coats alone, 1 coat over black, and 1 coat over China Glaze Paper Chasing.

 

 

Hallows Eve is a black jelly base with different sized Orange glitter with a few black glitter. This one is supposed to be kind of erie. I wanted a true Halloween polish and figured black and orange were the way to go.

For the swatches its 1 coat, 2 coats, and 3 coats. Then 1 coat over black.

 

 

Witches Brew is a clear base polish with different orange, purple, and black glitter. I absolutly love orange and purple together so this is the one I was most excited for.

Its inspired by which leggings he he.

For the swatches its 2 coats alone, 1 coat over white and 1 coat over black.

 

 

And lastly is Sweets N Treats, which is a clear base with orange, yellow and white glitter, in different shapes and sizes. I was trying to go towards the candy that you get around Halloween, mostly candy corn which you dont really see the rest of the year.

For the swatches its 1 coat alone and 1 coat over black.

I defiantly love this collection so far. I think I have a good assortment going on and cant wait to wear some of these out. Definitely will be wearing Witches Brew first as I cant even stress enough how much I love it. Its so much fun creating your own polishes, my glitter stash is slowly growing :)

China Glaze Immortal

Hey lovelies!!!!

 

Hope you all are having a great week!!! Yesterday at my work the Halloween polishes came in and of course I had to buy some of the new China Glaze ones. I picked up Glitter Goblin, Immortal and Cast A Spell, from the Wicked collection.

 

 

Glitter Goblin is an orange and silver holographic glitter. Immortal is a medium grey with blue and pink micro shimmer. And Cast A Spell is a very dark green with orange micro shimmer.

 

I painted my toes with Cast A Spell and its stunning, however I want make you guys stare at my toes so ill do it as a manicure some time soon :) But for today's manicure I decided to use Immortal since I love a good grey polish :)

 

For this manicure I used 2 coats. It applied perfectly and is definitely not what id call a typical Halloween polish, but it is stunning!!!!

 

 

I always seem to love China Glazes Halloween collections. Very rarely do they seem to disappoint with them.

 

Now after getting these yesterday, it inspired me to play with some glitter and create my own. So this morning I made 4 new polishes. Ill show you then in a post tomorrow thou :).

 

Hope you all have a great day!!!! XO

Creativity Challenge : Sports

Hey dolls!!!!

 

I'm sooo sorry that I've been MIA for a week. Last Sunday I started reading 50 Shades of Grey, Ive read all 3 books since. I was absolutly hocked on them. The story behind them is actually really good and captivating. Sadly thou my nails did get put aside this week. I wore my last manicure until Thursday night, I then finally changed it but of course didnt have time to do a blog port due to the book. But i finished those last night and im now back!!!!

 

So for today's post I have a franken I made for a Creativity Challenge I have in a group. This polish is supposed to represent "Sports". I decided to make one for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

 

For this polish I used different blue and white glitter in a clear base.

 

For the swatches its one coat, one coat over CG Kinetic Candy, and one coat over black.

 

 

I decided to wear one coat over black and I loved it. Be sure to check out in the next week for a "Fall" inspired polish. I really love playing with glitter, I just got 11 more and have 13 more on the way. So ill defiantly be playing alot in the near future. And I promise to be back more now <3

AiS: Toxic or Poisonous

Hello lovelies!!!

I hope you all have had a great weekend. I know mine has been pretty good, getting to go to the fair yesterday even thou it rained for most of the day. But I still made the most of it.

Today however I have the Adventures in Stamping sunday challenge for you, which is Toxic or Poisonous. Since im still loving my apple nails and didnt want to fully take it off, I decided to expand on it. In case you didnt see the apple post I created them using Orly Fresh and Nina Ultra Pro Electric Slide.

I ended up removing my pinkie, pointer and middle fingers. I then did 3 coats of China Glaze Sun-Kissed on them. Once dry I did a layer of my franken `Apple Blossom the middle finger. I then stamped a skull on my pinkie and pointer fingers using Konad Black and my MLS-05 plate.

 

 

So obviously I decided to go the poisonous apple route. I like how the colors are so bright and I think the glitter ties the green adn yellow together. Of course the apple is also fitting as were getting into fall and apple picking season!!!

 

Any who dolls I hope you enjoy it and have a great sunday!!! <3

Fall Into Autumn: Apples

Hello lovelies!!!

 

Sorry for being so MIA this week. It has been one crazy week at work. I ended up wearing my back to school nails till last night, I changed them to Zoya Carly and of course after a 10 hr day at work I forgot to take a picture of them :( And today they were too chipped.

 

But I do have a Fall Into Autumn challenge for you today. Tomorrow im going to a local flea market for some fresh fruits and veggies and then going to our local fall fair at night for the demolition derby so this manicure is quiet suitable id say. The challenge is Apples.

 

For this manicure I started out with 2 coats of Essence Color & Go Modern Romance. Once dry I used 2 coats of Orly Fresh to draw on the apples. I then topped those of with Nina Ultra Pro Electric Slide *Its a brand new core color, they just redid there whole line, new bottles and brush, same great formula thou*. Once all that was dry I drew on the stems, leafs, and shine with a Green Stripe Rite, Art Club Black, and Finger Paints Hip Hip Hue-ray.

 

 

I absolutely love the way this turned out. I do have to give inspiration to all the ladies in this challenge, as these adorable apple nails made me try these.
