Happy Halloween!! A Few Halloween Manis...

I decided to share a few Halloweenish manis that I did this year with you. I'm dissappointed with myself because I didn't get into the Halloween spirit as much as I wanted to this year, but I had a ton going on this month unfortunately. But nevertheless...here are some Halloween themed manis as well as some Halloween indies.

The first one is a franken I made called Swamp Music. I layered it over Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Limestone. I thought it looked really swampy and monstery for Halloween.

 

 

 

Next I did a jelly sandwich with Nina Ultra Pro Cobalt and OPI Crown Me Already. To give it a little pizzazz, I used of my my older Halloween Lynnderellas, Bride of Franken.

 

 

 

And if any of you don't own Nina Ultra Pro Cobalt...you should. It is a gorgeous Cobalt Blue jelly. It is everything I wanted Revlon Royal to be. This is 2 coats.

 







 

Up next, I was craving some multichrome goodness so I decided to go with one that flashed orange and purple for Halloween. I used Ozotic 521 (2 coats over black) and stamped on some Halloween images from my Bundle Monster Plates with Finger Paints Black Expressionism. It was definantly not my best work, but it was pretty cute. 



 

 

 

Here is 521 by itself. It was a lovely gift from my pal Kristy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally I have Hit Polish Jack Loves Sally. This polish was one of my favorite Halloween indies from this year (there were SO many amazing ones!). It is a fun and different mix of matte glitters. This is 1 coat over Sally Hansen Fairy Teal.

 

 

 



 

So I guess that wraps up Halloween manis for me! I do still have a few Halloween indies that I *just* got so I will wear them soon for after Halloween fun! Thanks for looking everyone and Happy Halloween!

Halloween Indie Spam!

Yay! Finally October is here (well...tomorrow) so I can do Halloween manis, which are my absolute favorite! I thought I'd share a little Halloween indie spam with you guys to kick things off right! Some of these are older indies and some of these are brand spankin new for this year!

First up is HARE polish The Monster. I actually was lucky enough to get the polish last year when Nikole released the Creeps collection, but it is now finally for sale again for those of you who want to pick it up (available at Llarowe and possibly from HARE polish's Etsy page (see HARE Polish's Facebook page for updates on stock in her shop). This polish is one of those that looks so blah when you first put it on, but once you add topcoat it is just magical! This is one coat of The Monster over Essie School of Hard Rocks (although it is perfectly opaque and really doesn't need to be layered, I just prefer to layer all of my glitters over a base color).

 

 

 

Next I have an oldie for you: Lynnderella Gotta Love Brains. I have had this polish for ages and have never worn it so I decided to swatch it. The pink shimmer in it is lovely. Unfortunately, there is really limited availability of this one now since it is one of the discontinued Lynnderellas, so eBay is the place to find it if you are looking for it. This is 2 coats over OPI My Pointe Exactly.

 

 

 

Next up is a polish from a newer indie brand, Oopsie Daisies. This is Mischief Night, part of her Halloween Harvest Duo (the other polish, Apple Picking, is just fall in a bottle. I will be wearing it soon!). This polish has fuchsia, orange, and purple glitter in a black jelly base. It looks absolutely perfect layered over another Halloween classic, China Glaze Mummy May I? This is 1 coat over Mummy May I? This polish is available from Oopsie Daisies Etsy Shop. Follow her Facebook page for updates.

 

 

 

 

 

Up next I have a polish from Nail Pattern Boldness called Bitches Brew. This polish is so awesome and the blue and yellow glitters are perhaps a little unexpected in a Halloween polish, but they totally work! This is 1 coat over OPI Road House Blues. Nail Pattern Boldness polishes are available in her Etsy Shop and as of this week they are available at Llarowe as well (although it looks like for now that Llarowe is only stocking core polishes from Nail Pattern Boldness, not Halloween Polishes). Follow their Facebook page for more info.

 

 

 

And last but not least, I have another Hit Polish for you called Halloween. This polish is truly Halloween in a bottle with all of the classic colors represented (orange, black, purple, and green). I think it is so fun and looks great with purple (this is one coat over Sally Hansen Purple Pizzazz). These polishes are available on Hit Polish's Etsy shop and you can follow their Facebook page for updates.  

 

 



 

 

 

 

So are you guys pumped for Halloween manis like me? I have more Halloween manis and indies to share with you soon! Thanks for looking!

Hit Polish Mr. Bubbles

Today I have a mani that I absolutely adore for you guys. I'm not sure if I have mentioned my matte glitter obessions, but I LOVE THEM! They looks like candy on your nails! I was on the search for some matte glitters to add to my collection and I found Hit Polish (a division of D&R Apothecary) on Etsy. They have a ton of glitters in their shop to choose from and I got several minis to try out.

Mr. Bubbles is a glitter polish full of different sizes of matte white, pink, and blue glitter. It is really worthy of it's namesake. I layered one coat over OPI What's With the Cattitude. I loved it so much I wore it for several days and was constantly looking at my nails.

 

 

 

 

Isn't it fabulous? Hit Polish had a big sale last weekend and I picked up several more minis and they are on their way to me now. I will be swatching those for you guys when I get them! I saw on their Facebook Page that they are being generous enough to have another sale the weekend of October 13 (and they have items stocked in the shop in the mean time as well.) Be sure to check them out!

 

 

Thanks for looking everyone!
