Fall into Autumn: Halloween

Hey dolls!!!

 

Its the end of the week again!!!! Tomorrow is my last day at my current store and its quiet sad, ill miss my girls, but im also really excited for whats ahead. I was nice yesterday and decided to bake the girls cupcakes before I left. So I made them Chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter chips. Topped with Peanut Butter icing with chocolate chips on it. They are delicious!!!

 

But enough about cupcakes and onto some nails. Today I have the Halloween challenge for you. I think this is my first post using my light box. I need to get a new light that doesn't make my skin look orange, and will get me a bit more light but its getting there :)

 

So for the Halloween mani I decided to use 5 different colors, with 5 different glitter, and different stamps on each.

 

Thumb : China Glaze Pelican Grey, Nubar Black Polka Dots, Plate OB26

Beginning of the Fall Into Autumn Challenge!

Hello lovelies!!!!

I have started yet another challenge. Its with the same group of ladies that I did "April Showers Bring May Flowers" and "Lazy Days of Summer" challenges. This time around its called "Fall Into Autumn". This this we are doing one per week, so I'm less likely to fall behind this time ;)
The challenges are as follows.

So I decided to do Back to School tonight as tomorrow is the first day of school for the kids around here, and as usual I decided to do each nail something different :)

First I thought Id show you all the polishes I used for this as its alot then after the manicure Ill tell you which I used for each finger. I must say I think I nail'ed this challenge!!!!

Thumb: Chalk board with E=MC2 written on it - Base is 2 coats of CG Stone Cold,

I then did the writing with a White Stripe Rite

 

Pointer: Lined piece of paper - Base is 2 coats of Billie French White,

used a Red and Blue Stripe Rite for the lines.

April showers bring may flowers challenge : Spring Pastels

Today I'm starting a new challenge that you can do at your own pace. It has 14 different themes, all relating to spring of course, that you can do when you have time but in the right order. She has a face book group created that you can join to participate in and post the photos/blog post with others to share :)

Hannah from Polished Prisms created this challenge and you can see a list of the themes and her blog post about it here.

I'm really excited about this challenge as I cant always do the ones where you have to complete them on certain days. I don't usually have enough time to do them all or spend as much time on them as id like. So at least with this I can do it when I have the free time to dedicate towards it.

So for today's Spring Pastels I decided to do a skittle manicure as a base for tomorrows Easter eggs :).

I surprisingly own a ton of pastels so it was hard to decided on which colors to use.

I decided to go with Finger Paints Aren't you glad-iolous?, OPI Banana  bandanna, China Glaze, Aquadelic, Orly Cotton candy, and Sally Girl # 812165. I then applied a coat of my SF 35 top coat over each finger to give it some shimmer :)

I love the color combo of this and cant wait to turn this into Easter eggs tomorrow :)

Now if you want to see more amazing manicure from these challenge, head on over to the other lovely ladies blogs :)

Nail mail, haul and Models Own Indian Ocean!!!

Don't you love coming home to nail mail? Well today I was greeted with an amazing package from a lovely lady in my Birthday group. Funny thing is was all day I was hoping that his package would show up today and it did :)

The chocolate was delicious *even the hubby agreed*, the post card was adorable and the polish well that was just simply amazing since its Models Own Indian Ocean!!!

Now today at work I also purchased the new sally girl scented nail polishes!!! and of course a bottle of Seche Vite :)

Left to right they smell like the following : Grape, banana, lime, orange, cherry and coconut.

They are sooo cute and smell amazing, banana and cherry are by far my favorite for both smell and color. Will have to buy back ups of these as they are soo sticking cute :)

Now onto the NOTD. Of course I had to use my Models Own Indian Ocean. For this I layered 2 coats of Models Own Indian Ocean over 2 coats of China Glaze Kinetic Candy. I had a feeling this would be a good base for it as Indian Ocean itself is pretty sheer and I was right. I am more in love with this polish then what I thought I would be. In my hubby's words " it's the greatest polish you own". The photos really don't do this justice!!

First is with flash second is without :)

Mmmm I love this, next time i'm gonna later it over a pink I think and see how it looks. And of course I just couldn't hide its beauty with any stamping or nail art the first time wearing it :)
