Halloween Nail Series Part 3 - Cartoon Nail Art!

Hello! This is a very cartoon-y set of nail skittles. I got some inspiration from this post by AskMeWhats.

The green on the index finger is Who The Shrek Are You from OPI, the blue on the middle finger is Orly's Bombay Star, ring finger was OPI Flit a Bit, China Glaze Lemon Fizz for the yellow, and pinky was the Wet n' Wild halloween series polish Cougar Attack. The black and white was just generic, and the lines were freehanded and the circles were all dotted!

 

Kinda silly but cute!

Halloween Nail Series Part 2 - Accent Thumbs!

Hello! I did a few halloween manicures that were a bit more toned down with just one halloween nail per hand. I decided to switch it up and do the accent nail on the thumb, also known as the "blackberry manicure", because when you text your two thumbs are showing!

The first is a Frankenstein nail, with a base of OPI's Who The Shrek Are You? with Wet 'n Wild Tangled In My Web on top.

The next is a Pumpkin thumb with OPI's Extra-Va-Va-Ganza on the thumb and Orly's Star of Bombay on the rest of the fingers.

The last one is a witch nail, with Orly's Star of Bombay, China Glaze Lemon Fizz for the moon, and stamped in black with BM13. The rest of the nails are OPI Flit a Bit and Wet n' Wild Tangled in my web.

And there ya go! A few ideas to get you going.

Halloween Nail Series Part 1 - Spiders in Webs with BM13

Hellooooooo!

This is the first of my Halloween-themed nails, and I absolutely love it. It's really pretty and wearable, and I got lots of compliments on it. So here it is, it's China Glaze Snow as a white base, stamped with OPI's Lucerne-tainly Look Marvellous and BM13 spider web, and stamped with Konad black with the BM13 spider, and a red dot on its back. I would also recommend trying this with a glow in the dark coat over the white and a black spider and spider web. That way in the dark both will show up.

Now this one was a nightmare to capture. It was so hard to get the silver to show up on camera and the red to show up at the same time. In real life the spider webs are easy to see, a super glittery sparkly charcoal spider web, and the red on the spiders is easy to see too.

And AAARRGG every time I photograph my nails there's one flippin hair coming off my nails that I never see until it's too late, so I apologize for that annoying hair.

From the flash you can see the red on the spiders better. In real life it looks like above but with the red showing like below.

I also did this look with China Glaze Snow as a white base, China Glaze White Cap over it, Sally Hansen Chrome Blue for the BM13 spider web, and a Konad Black spider with 2 black rhinestones to make the spider 3D. This one was my original idea but it turned out a bit sloppy. I think it would be a good look if I had been a bit more patient.

There ya go! Stay tuned for more in the series!

Wet 'n Wild Correction Tape

Happy Friday everyone! This is a multi colored equal sized glitter from the On the Prowl halloween collection from Wet 'n Wild.

Now there was some confusion over the name of this, but I have an inkling of what happened. The initial promo pictures had a white polish that weren't in the actual displays, and I have a feeling that Correction Tape was actually initially a white nail polish, and something happened with the naming or the polish. Because a multi-colored glitter has nothing to do with correction tape... ahaha, and it's suspicious that there was a white and it disappeared.

Aaaanyhow. I tried this over OPI's Skull and Glossbones, OPI's Who The Shrek Are You, and OPI's Sparrow Me The Drama, and China Glaze Snow. I liked it best over the white and grey, especially for fall.

Here's a few pictures of the bottle so you can see what it looks like and all the colors in there.

This is the full manicure with Wet 'n Wild Correction Tape over OPI Sparrow Me The Drama.

That's my little bf in the background ahah :)

This is definitely hard to capture because of the way the light hits the glitter, but the colors are very pretty. It's purple, blue, gold and black glitter, equal amounts, equal sizes. Very cute.

This is it over a few other colors, China Glaze Snow (white), OPI Skull & Glossbones (grey), and OPI Who The Shrek Are You (green).

As I said, I liked it the best over grey, it was a great background for the glitters.

What do you guys think? Did you get any of the Halloween collection?

Wet 'n Wild Tangled In My Web

Hello! This is a black glitter for the On The Prowl Wet 'n Wild Halloween collection, Tangled In My Web.

I just bought a bottle of Who The Shrek Are You? from the OPI Shrek collection and it is a fantastic halloween color, so I decided to try it over that and over OPI Flit A Bit orange. If you guys want to see it over any other colors just ask and I'll try my best!

This is Wet 'n Wild Tangled In My Web over Who The Shrek Are You.

I gotta say I absolutely LOOOVE both of these. Who The Shrek is such a pretty green on my skin tone, and Tangled looks so cute over everything. I love black glitter!

This is Tangled over OPI Flit A Bit

Cute! Great halloween polish but really just a good all around polish!

Wet n Wild On the Prowl Collection

Oh my goodness, this collection is awesome. I've only got 4 of the colors but I absolutely love them all. Today I'm going to show you swatches of Cougar Attack and Ready to Pounce. I did a huge chunk of swatching and nail art on friday so I've got lots to show you. I have Correction Tape and Tangled In My Web pictures coming up too - Tangled In My Web will be a big post! I'm planning on doing a halloween-themed nail art/stamping series because I love themed manicures and I like the look of them, so stay tuned!

So this is Cougar Attack, a gorgeous copper glitter. I love it, it is so beautiful and halloween-y. It glows like embers! I strongly recommend as many of this collection as you can get your hands on! I'm missing the red glitter one :(

I thought this might be a close match to China Glaze Fortune Teller, but it is much more coppery, and much denser, smaller, more noticeable glitter.

This next polish is Ready To Pounce, a purple with pink shimmer. It. Is. Beautiful. I wasn't going to buy it and I skipped it a few times, but after reading so many people rave about it I finally picked it up, and I'm so glad I did. It's unlike any purple I have. It's a deep deep plum color, but it glows with this beautiful gold-pink shimmer, and it is just stunning.

 Now here I tried to experiment with tape manicures.. and it didn't turn out so well ahaha! Jane from Nailside makes it look so easy! I noticed that this color looks amazing with OPI's Sparrow Me the Drama pink, since it has the pink shimmer in it, so I tried to do a checkered manicure out of it. If you can experiment better than I can then definitely put those two colors together, they look great. The other square is China Glaze Harmony, a purple chrome.

 Bahaha! Oh well, they can't always turn out great. Keep checking back here for the start of my Halloween nail art series! Have a good weekeeennnndd!
