Zoya Nina w/ Gold Stripes

I have no current mani for today, so here's an old NOTD I did in September. I wore two coats of Zoya Nina, the stripes were done with LA Colors Art Deco in Gold Rush, & it was finished off with Hard Candy Matte-ly in Love.

Black Shatter over Wet n Wild Rockin' Rubies

I did a similar mani earlier this month, click here to see it.

I wanted to do a quick mani from my previous one, so I just added two layers of Wet n Wild Rockin' Rubies (which I finally found! ^__^) from their new Coloricon Ice Baby collection. The Ice Baby collection is a Walgreen exclusive for the holidays. My ring finger has a white base, while the other fingers has a black base color beneath Rockin' Rubies. Afterwards I added OPI Black Shatter, topped it off with Seche Vite, & then finished it off with Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love.

I'll do some swatches for this collection next month after I'm all done with my Halloween related mani's. Check out your local Walgreens, the Ice Baby collection is a must have if you love glitters!

Blood Splatter Nails

After seeing a good amount of splattered nails these past months, I decided to tackle it myself! This blood splatter mani is so perfect for Halloween. I thought the process was going to take awhile, but actually it was really easy. After you apply your base color, you cut a piece of straw, drip it in nail polish, & blow onto your nails. It was really fun! I'll be doing this design again with more colors next time. For this mani, the base color is three coats of Wet n Wild French White Creme & the blood splatter is China Glaze Salsa. At the end of the mani I added a matte topcoat,  Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love.

It's My Blogoversary Today!

October 20, 2010 was when I started this little blog of mine. A year went by so fast! How exciting, normally I'll switch to another blogging site after a few months, but I actually kept up with this one. Horray! That calls for a blog giveaway for my readers! My first one also :) :) :) I'll start it on the first of November, so in the mean time I'll have some time to gather some goodies! A big thank you to all my readers & everyone else that stops by, it means a lot to me! Big big big thanks to my boyfriends, who is my biggest supporter, along with the one that actually keeps up me on the new collections! ^__^

So for now enjoy the nails I did yesterday. The base color is China Glaze Recycle & I used a Bundle Monster stamp on top. Enjoy!

Green White Black Drip Nails

Today marks the 13th night before Halloween. Yes, I only know that before of ABC Family =) I'm excited for their 13 nights of Halloween movies. Today started off with a Halloween special of Pretty Little Liar, can't wait until next season! For this mani I have two coats of Sinful Colors Black On Black & my accent nail first has a white base of Wet n Wild French White Creme & three coats of China Glaze In The Lime Light (Neon) on top. I used a dotting tool to make my drips using the three colors I mentioned.

Drips!

China Glaze Papaya Punch w/ Pumpkins

We're about half way done with October & closer to Halloween! For today's nails, I have 3 coats of China Glaze Papaya Punch (love this name!) from their Island Escape collection & pumpkins stamped on. I wanted to get away with wearing only two coats, but I couldn't get an even application. The stamp I'm using is from the BM224 plate.

China Glaze Raspberry Festival w/ OPI Black Shatter

I wanted to wear something from the many untried reds I own. I chose China Glaze Raspberry Festival from their Summer Days collection, which I'm wearing two coats of. Raspberry Festival is a beautiful red jelly polish packed with shimmers. I love this polish, along with the rest of this collection. I'm only missing Strawberry Fields to have a complete collection! Anyways, I then added OPI Black Shatter & lastly I had to see how the mani looked like with a matte top coat :)
