Color Club Uptown Girl

I've been so busy lately, I feel like I haven't been able to keep up with everything! So this will be a quick post! Here is Color Club's Uptown Girl. A very pretty dusty purple.

For a little extra fun I decided to add some Konad. I used image plate m61 and Konad special white polish.

China Glaze Mummy May I

Another polish from the China Glaze Awakening collection, Mummy May I. A dark purple jelly base with lots of hot pink glitter. Very pretty! From a distance it really looks more like a black base with fuschia glitter. The application was OK. The polish seemed to be thick and sticky. At times it was hard to get even strokes.

Sunlight

That night my boyfriend and I decided to go to a haunted house. I thought the spooky house decals would be perfect!

Fright Night Claw Polish

I recently went to Wal-Mart and found these cute Halloween nail polishes. They are called Claw Polish and come in the cutest coffin bottles. For $3 each, how could I resist? I purchased the plain black and the orange/black glitter.

This is the black polish layered with the glitter on top. The glitter is really pretty. It's long pieces of black and orange glitter. I also catch glimpses of tiny purple pieces in there. The glitter was very thick and sticky! It made my polish bubble so bad!! As they say, you get what you pay for!

Happy October!

Today is the start of my favorite month, October! I love it so much because it is the month of my birthday, Fall, and Halloween (my favorite holiday). In order to celebrate my love for Halloween I am going to do my nails in some sort of Halloween style the whole month! Therefore, most of my nail posts will be Halloween themed, but don't worry I'll have some regular stuff thrown in there too.

Here's a simple nail look to kick it off...

Orange with black glitter! The orange polish is from a brand called Absolute! that I found at locally owned beauty store. The color is simply called Orange. I then added Revlon's glitter topcoat in Galaxy on top. It's a black glitter loaded with lots of silver chunks.

Sally Hansen LCD

Time for a random swatch!

I really like the polish LCD by Sally Hansen, but it's quite sheer. I decided in order to make it pop I would layer it on top of a pink creme. I started with Essie Need A Vacation which is a bright light pink. Then I used LCD on top. It really made the color stand out. Pink, sparkly, and fun!

Essie Lapis of Luxury

I recently started getting interested in Fimo nail art. I love how 3D it is! I purchased a pack of 100 Fimo canes from Bundle Monster and had to do a nail of the day with them. Here it is!

I used Essie Lapis of Luxury as my base. This is a great cornflower blue. I do not have anything like this in my collection! I then chose a cute matching heart. This was my first attempt and I put too much topcoat on top of my Fimo slices, so there are some bubbles. However, I now know what to do next time!

China Glaze Coconut Kiss

Here is a simple yet pretty nail design. I got a lot of compliments on this one!

I started with China Glaze Coconut Kiss as my base. It's a bright shimmery purple. Next, I painted my tips with Star by Revlon from their newest collection of glitter top coats. I then used a Milani nail art brush to free hand the silver glitter creating a French tip effect. Finally, I added some sequins to my ring finger and finished with some Seche Vite!

Essie Exotic Liras + Glitter

I love glitter. Plain and simple. I love it! Sometimes instead of doing nail art I love to just layer a fun glitter over a polish. This is one of those cases!

I used Essie Exotic Liras as my base. It's a bright red raspberry creme. I then layered Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear polish in Strobe Light on top. It's a pink and silver glitter. An easy and flashy Nail of the Day!

China Glaze Laced Up

This is a fun and wild mani! I love this color pink. It's a great hot pink for anytime!

This was done with Laced Up by China Glaze. I then stamped the leopard print tip using Konad plate m45 with special black polish.

OPI What's With The Cattitude?

First, just let me say I know this looks horrible! My left hand turned out worse than this. Also, I didn't clean up very well. I thought it was pretty nonetheless and still had to share!

I did this using OPI What's With the Cattitude from the Shrek collection. I then stamped the image using Konad plate m4 using Konad special white polish.

Essie Van D'Go

I love any easy nail design! This one is very easy and pretty.

Outside.

This was done using Essie polish in Van D'Go. It looks light pink in the bottle but actually dries to a peach. I then applied these little nail decals I found at my local drugstore. I thought they'd look really cute if done like a moon manicure.

After wearing this mani for a day, I decided to glitz it up. I added Sally Hansen Diamond Strength nail color in Diamonds. It's a clear base with lots of tiny silver shimmer. Great for turning any creme polish into a shimmer!

For Audrey...

I absolutely love anything related to Tiffany's. I adore Breakfast at Tiffany's, hope for a Tiffany's ring one day, and of course the Tiffany's color is amazing. So obviously, I just love the polish For Audrey by China Glaze.

I used For Audrey as my base. My bottle is getting old so the polish went on a little glomy, thus making my mani far from perfect. Also, for those of you who don't own For Audrey, the color isn't exactly the Tiffany's blue shade. It dries a little bit darker, like a dusty turquoise.

I stamped the bow using Konad plate m59. I thought bows would be appropriate for something as girly as the Tiffany's color.

Essie Cute As A Button Flowery Nails

I love cute flowery nails so I thought this would be a great nail of the day.

The polish is Cute as a Button (perfect for cute nails!) by Essie. I used Konad plate m61 with Konad special polish in mint green. Really easy since the design is an all over nail design.

Revlon Minted Konad

I have been loving the mint green nail trend this season. I wanted to do a simple Konad design to accent my mint green nails!

The polish is Minted by Revlon. I used the fishnet tip design on Konad plate m45. For some reason this is the only good picture I had of this mani. Please excuse it.

OPI Flower-to-Flower

Since I recently did a post on Catch Me In Your Net of the OPI Summer Flutter Collection, I thought I'd post another from the collection.

This gorgeous pink is called Flower-to-Flower.

I stamped the butterfly using Konad plate m41. The pink is this really lovely bright pink with a subtle silver shimmer. Very bright and girly!

OPI Catch Me In Your Net

I recently bought the new OPI Summer Flutter collection. I just now have had the time to use some of the colors. Let me just say I am in love with "Catch Me In Your Net".

Natural light.

I know in the pictures it looks somewhat see through, but in real life it is very opaque. This color is a gorgeous sparkly shimmery teal. It leans more on the blue side, but there is definitely some green to it. Loves it!
