Monday, Monday

Hello lovelies!
I have two manicures to share with you today-short and sweet!


This is Blood moon from Stardust Polish. I love the red square glitters in this one! 


This Halloween mani was inspired by one done by my good friend Janie! It is a black to orange gradient topped with OPI's Servin' Up Sparkle and an accent nail with a spooky lil' ghost.
Are ghouls and goblins dancing on your nails this fall? Maybe a ghost, a witch or two?
Until next time!

It's Fall on my fingers!

Hello lovelies!
I've got a few fall manis to share with you all :)



First up is Pumpkin by Fever by Twisted Colors. This is a thermal polish that shifts from orange when warm to a brownish black when cold. It's chock full of orange microglitter that really pops when your nails are cold along with black hex glitter. Pumpkin Fever is pictured here with three coats, no undies.
Next up is Harvest moon by one of my very favorite indie makers, Stardust Polish!  This black polish is full of orange glitter in different sizes. This one was hard to photograph though it was absolutely gorgeous on...especially in the sun!
 For this mani I knew I wanted to do something with Frankenstein and though I dug and searched through many drawers and bins, I could not find the perfect slime green color I had pictured in my head. I used three different greens along with a glow in the dark top coat to get the perfect color. I also used a white base to make the greens really pop! To get this slime concoction I layered two coats each of Island Girl Aloha Color, PolishMeToGo Kiwi Squeeze (a glowy!) and Chromato-4 Limelite(also a glowy). I topped those three off with a coat of China Glaze's Ghoulish Glow. The result?

Frank glows in the dark! I finished this mani late at night like always so I didn't get the glow pic til the second day. It was pretty funny to see my nails glowing in the pitch black room when I woke up, I shocked myself! =P
This is Bugs in My Candy by BellsKandi. This Halloween cutie is a thermal that shifts from green to orange and is full of black glitter along with some shifting microglitter. It came with the cute witch charm and the real kicker? It smells like candy corn after the polish is dry! The first day I had this on I had to kind of keep my nails away from my face because the scent was pretty strong. (I have a sensitive nose and scents trigger migraines for me occasionally.) After the first day though the scent mellowed out a little and it no longer bothered my nose! I had a strange craving for candy the entire time I was wearing it...hmmm.....
  
The last mani I have for you today is what's currently on my nails now! This is Femme Fatale Lacquer's Stingy Jack, pictured here over one coat of Opi Black Onyx. Stingy Jack has a black jelly base and is full of orange, blue, silver and gold glitter in different sizes. I love this polish and it's no surprise since the name has something to do with the Nightmare Before Christmas ;)
Well lovelies, this is all the fall polish goodness I have for you today! I'm sure you can tell by now that I love Halloween themed polishes! I still have a few to swatch for you so I'll have at least one more fall mani post in store for you guys. What's on your nails? Are you still holding on to your bright summer colors or are you embracing the dark, glittery and spooky lacquer that's hauting all your favorite shops?
Til next time!
