Some Halloween Nail Art

Hi guys! Just a quick Halloween Nail Art mani that I did:

Pinky is 2 coats of She's a pirate by Glitter Guilty. Ring finger is 2 coats of Bump in the Night by China Glaze [textured] with a spider web stamp from Bundle Monster plate BM13. I used White by Kleancolor to stamp with. 

Middle finger is 2 coats of You're a Hoot by China Glaze...which is one of those fuzzy coats. 

Pointer finger is two coats of Toe-Tally Textured by China glaze. Over that I used a nail brush with black acrylic paint to freehand (in case you couldnt tell) the face. 

Thumb is two coats of Brit by Julep, which is described as a "matte suede finish." On the tip of my thumb I put on some Helen Gurley Brown by PISTOL polish. Then I used an Emori nail art brush in green to do the grass, and a really pointed and thin nail art brush with black acrylic paint to write the letters. 

I'm not really LOVING the way this came out...i feel like I should have used black skull glitters or used Jack Skellington by Sick Lacquers because it has a milky orange base and matches more with what I did. I'm also not loving the fact that I can't use a top coat because it kills the textured effect. I was at work for ONE day and every nail has tip wear/chips except the ones with the Glitter Guilty polish on them. Oh well, I'll probably touch them up for now and do a new mani on my next day off (Monday, or Sunday night.) I'm thinking blood spatter/zombies/glow in the dark (:

Until next time,

Halloween Haul: China Glaze

Hi guys! So I went into Sally's today (there is one literally steps away from where I work, which is REALLY bad for my wallet) to get some more swatchie things (I don't know what they're called, I just call them swatchies), and I couldn't resist picking up a few more Halloween polishes (especially since I'm going on a no buy in October). 

I wandered into the China Glaze section and here is what I found: 

On the left is one of those "fuzzy"

 polishes. I never really saw the appeal to these because I don't know why you would want your nails to look like a fuzzy sweater. I figured if I was going to buy one, I might as well get a Halloween one. This one is called You're a Hoot, and it has black, yellow and orange matte bar glitter. It's from the On the Horizon collection, and I plan on doing some serious Halloween nail art with this. 

All the way to the right is Bump in the Night, and it's a textured polish. Again, I was never a big fan of these, but a few months ago a picked up an orange textured polish in the clearance bin at Sally's. I figured I can use both together for a Halloween mani. Here are swatches of these: 

The one in the middle is called Ghoulish Glow, and it's a glow in the dark top coat. Even though I JUST ordered a glow in the dark top coat in my Julep box, I couldn't help myself. 

This is after charging it near a lightbulb for literally 10 seconds. 

I'm so excited!!
