Halloween Challenge: Black Cats

Hello ladies! :) Hope you are all having a lovely week so far! Today's nail art for the Halloween Challenge is black cats! This is one of the very first times I have free-handed a design! I think it turned out pretty nice! Not as creepy as I wanted.. but still black cats!! :)







Products used:
Sally Hansen Lustrous
Sally Hansen Pink Blink (nose)
Kiss Silver stripe glitter
Seche Vite



**PERSONAL NOTE:
I officially started my new massage job today! Well.. I started training :) I am so excited!!! Also, one of the greatest perks of being a LMBT is that I am able to get a membership at CosmoProf (which I did!!!). That means China Glaze and OPI nail polish HALF PRICE!! It's AWESOME! Plus access to salon brand products at a super low price! :)

Caramel Zebra

Hello ladies! I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was pretty good :) I just laid around all day yesterday! It was nice having a day to relax! I've purchased a lot of neutrals over the past few months and haven't really worn any yet! So for today I have this mani:



I used two coats of Color Club - Earthy Angel and then stamped a zebra print BM plate image with Color Club - Antiquated. What do you think? Subtle, but very cute! :)


Oh & don't forget to enter my giveaway!

I know I am SO late on this....

Hey everyone! TGIF!! Okay this is my nails from... LAST Friday/Saturday! Can you believe I took so long to post this!? I started using a new camera and I lost the cable to upload pictures so I had to order a card reader and can finally upload the pics! Anyway! This is what I wore with my costume (I was a witch) for a Halloween party last weekend :)

Please excuse the HUGE chip on my middle finger... these pictures were taken after the party!



This is three coats of China Glaze - Frosty then I stamped an image from plate BM209 with Wet N Wild - Black Creme. Then I topped it off with a spider nail decal and Seche Vite!

Zoya Halloween Nails

Hello everyone :) I hope you are all having a great week so far! This weekend is Halloween weekend! That means parties for some of you, trick-or-treating with your children for others and many other fun things!! I still haven't quite decided what I'm going to do about my nails!! I need to hurry up and decide because I'm going to a party on Saturday! Lol. Okay so for today I have Zoya - Jem. This is two coats layered with one coat of Seche Vite and some Halloween nail stickers I got from Walmart!




What do you think? I like how it turned out. Oh, and Jem might possibly be my new favorite polish!! This is absolutely gorgeous! The pictures really don't do it justice!

This past weekend's mani

Hello everyone & happy Monday! This is a short week for me! I am off work Thursday through Sunday and I couldn't be more excited. Except I will be having a cavity filled on Thursday and I'm not looking forward to that! I've been sporting this mani since Friday night. This is two coats of Zoya - Heather (of course!) with some nail decals I got like... four or five years ago in my Christmas stocking and hadn't used them yet! They were really thick stones so I know I used at LEAST five coats of Seche Vite in hopes they wouldn't fall off when I was filing things at work! I really love how it turned out and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Zoya - Heather. I bought it because I love lavender and duh my name is Heather lol. :)




What do you think? Do you have any nail decals you've had for a while but haven't used yet?

Zombie Stitches

Hey everyone! I have yet another awesome Halloween mani for you. I call this Zombie Stitches! Haha. The base color is some french manicure base from Sally Hansen, the green is Sonia Kashuk - Fatigued and the black stitches were done with a Kiss nail art brush. I was inspired by MaD Mani's Frankenstein post the other day and that's how I came up with this. Here is a link to her post: Click here!





The stitches were a little longer than I had wanted but I still really like it! I don't have much experience with using the striper brushes and they can be a pain in the butt! If you have any tips please let me know! :)

Mmm... candy corn!

Hello ladies! I had SO much fun doing this mani. I've actually had it on my nails for FIVE days now! Which is definitely a record for me lol. And guess what the best part is!? STILL NO CHIPS!!!! I picked up the China Glaze and Seche Vite set for BCA from Sally's last week (along with Nina Ultra Pro - Glamrock) mostly because I wanted the Seche Vite! I have never used this top coat before and MAN have I been missing out! It's AWESOME! Okay enough of my blabbering.. on to the pictures!






Hoooooly cow.. I didn't realize how crooked my lines were until I uploaded the pictures from my camera haha! Oh well. I did this by hand so you can't expect TOO much from me! :P For this mani I used:

OPI- In My Back Pocket (orange)
Sally Hansen - Mellow Yellow (yellow..duh)
Wet N Wild - French White Creme
Kiss nail art paint - Silver glitter (for the line on my ring finger)
and a Spider sticker from a pack I got at Walgreens! Isn't it cute? :) Here are pictures of the stickers I picked up...

Yes, I picked up two of the same packs... because there weren't multiples of the stickers so I HAD to have a back up! I will probably use these all year hehe :)

Thanks for stopping by! Have an awesome week.

First Halloween mani of the year!!

Hello everyone! I hope you had a good weekend, I know I did! This mani is actually from a few days ago. I broke the nail on my middle finger last week so that's why it's so much shorter!! I have another amazing mani coming up for you tomorrow! :) This is two coats of OPI - In My Back Pocket with one coat of Wet N Wild - Creepy Pumpkin and then I added a little skull that came in a pack of stickers from Walmart. Simple and adorable!





I LOVE HALLOWEEEEEEEEN! :)

I hope you guys have a good Monday. Hopefully it will go by quickly! :)

Lady Muck... such an appropriate color choice for this weather!

Hello everyone!! I'm not sure how the weather has been where you live but it's been cool, cloudy and a little rainy here in the Carolinas! I picked up this polish from Butter London when Ulta had the BOGO Free sale. I absolutely love this color! I don't have anything else like it. I've really been into blues lately and this one did not disappoint! This is a pale grayish blue with subtle silver/white micro shimmer. It's simply gorgeous! It will be great for winter, especially with some snowflakes stamped on top! This is two coats of Lady Muck!


Great application! Went on very very smoothly!




After wearing this for three days (which is a long time for me!) and not wanting to take this polish off I added a coat of Wet N Wild - Hallucinate and then a coat of NYC Starry Silver Glitter. It really adds some pizzaz!


Anddddd then after that I decided to stamp over it with an image from BM21 with Konad special white polish. 

What do you guys think!? Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. :)

xoxo
