Fall Themed Nails

One quick fall themed post before fall has completely disappeared! I know winter has already arrived in some places but it hasn't here yet so I thought I'd sneak these in before they're just a reminder of better, less cold times, lol.

All fingers are two coats of Sinful Colors Ruby, Ruby (it's such a juicy, squishy colour!) except the ring finger which is two coats of Sinful Colors Nirvana. The ring finger is stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM208 and Essie as Good as Gold.





It isn't too cold out yet for this is it?!

Thanks for reading!!

Halloween Blood Drips!

Happy Halloween everyone!

I have my current Halloween manicure for you today!! I've always wanted to do bloody cuticle nails for Halloween so here they are.

I used 2 coats of Zoya Avery for the base, it's pretty close to my skin tone. Not quite perfect but pretty close! I then freehanded the blood with China Glaze Drastic which is one of my favourite reds!



What's on your nails for Halloween?

Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a fantastic Halloween!!

OMD 31 Day Challenge - Day 22 - Animal Themed

Hi everyone! I'm back today...I've been wearing plain chipped red polish for over a week since everything's been so busy. It feels really awesome to be back in 'fancy nails'!

So today I have the very late Animal Themed Day 22 of the OMD Challenge. Rawr! Animal Themed!!

My pointer and ring finger are two coats of OPI I'm Suzi & I'm A Chocoholic. My ring and pinky fingers are three coats of an unnamed Color Club pale nude with grey/pink undertones. It's then stamped with the leopard print design from Bundle Monster plate 221 and Wet n Wild Black Creme. Then to jazz it up a bit I filled in the spots with Nubar Fire Sparkle and a dotting tool.

RAWR! Red hot leopard! Lol.

OMD 31 Day Challenge - Day 14 - Flowers

Today is flower day!! It's going to be a short post again since I'm late again!

I started with two coats of China Glaze Secret Peri-Wink-Le. It was very streaky and sheer on the first coat but evened out really well on the second. I made the flowers using a dotting tool and OPI Skull & Glossbones and OPI I'm Suzi & I'm A Chocoholic. Skull & Glossbones was perhaps not a great choice as it was pretty sheer for the dots. I really like how the end result is vintage feeling.

OMD 31 Day Challenge - Day 9 - Texture

Hello everyone! Today is texture day of the OMD 31 Day Challenge. I have a confession to make...I LOVE the glittery textured polishes. I just plain adore them so I was so excited for texture day!

Stay the Night Liquid Sand by OPI really reminds me of lava with the red sparkles peeking through the black base. So I decided to make the lava a bit more obvious! So today I present lava rock nails with molten lava cracks!


My pinky is two coats of Stay the Night by OPI. On my pointer, middle and ring finger I started with two thin coats of China Glaze Red Satin. I then free-handed the Liquid Sand around my nail to create the molten lava pools leaving some of the red showing. As the second coat of the Liquid Sand was drying I went into the red that was showing to add a bit of orange and yellow highlighting using Barielle Gotta Have Fate and Joe Fresh Pineapple respectively.




I really liked the way these turned out. They came out exactly as I hoped they would.

Thanks for reading everyone!

Golden Midnight in Moscow

The blog has been lacking glitter these last few posts. Thus, today we have glitter! GLITTER!

I started with two coats of OPI Midnight in Moscow. I maybe should have used three coats, but I stopped at two. I then sponged on some of Sinful Colors All About You on my ring finger. Why? Because I Love glitter...and who doesn't really? This mani was dark and vampy and glittery all at once, I loved it!



Sorry about the weird fluff that appears to be stuck on my fingers...wonder where that came from lol. 

Thanks for reading!
