CND Asphalt + Nail Art

Hey guys! This is a scheduled post today since I am traveling. I have shown you this polish before, only it was glossy. This time, Hard Candy Matte-ly in Love was put on top. Now it looks like a chalkboard!

For nail art we used spider webs from Bundle Monster. 

And because that wasn't good enough, Dustin decided to bling it all out! Pretty, huh?

I hope you enjoyed this design and as always, thanks for reading! :)

China Glaze Zombie Zest + Nail Art

Happy weekend! My mom has been here this week and we are going to Utah tomorrow so I will be scheduling posts for you lovely readers for the next couple days. :)

More Halloween nail art today! The base is China Glaze Zombie Zest. I picked this is up at Sally's on clearance at the beginning of this year. It doesn't look like much in the bottle, but it's so pretty on the nail. This polish is a moss green jelly with glass fleck glitters. In the bottle there is a slight duochrome look to it, but that doesn't translate as well on the nail.

This is image comes from the newer set of Bundle Mosnter plates. There are so many fun Halloween designs in that set! Zoya Pippa was applied first in a little blob so that when the image was stamped on top, it looks like the pumpkins are glowing. 

The possibilities are endless for Halloween nail art. It's been fun seeing what you all have done so far too. I have gotten lots of great inspiration from ya'll! 

Candy Corn Mani

Hi everyone! I am trying to figure out a new place for us to live since the place we have been living for 2 years raised our rent. Fun right? :/

I know there's lots of candy corn manicures out there...but this one's mine! haha This is a pretty straight forward concept, but I included step by step pictures just in case! The base for this is Zoya Pippa.

Next, use a bright orange (this is Color Club Wham! Pow!) and paint 1/3 of the way down.

And finally, top it off with white. Mine is really chunky and thick. Ew. This is Sinful Colors Snow Me White. 

For some added bling, we added an iridescent glitter from LA Colors on top. Glitter makes everything better right? :)

As long as you look past the chunkiness, this is a cute mani! <3

Wet N Wild Behind Closed Doors + Nail Art

Hi again! Dustin is currently tweaking perfecting his Winter franken collection for you guys. I am so antsy for it to be ready because I know how excited some of you were about it! If you missed that post, you can see it here. 

The base for this mani is Wet N Wild Behind Closed Doors from the On the Prowl collection. Even though there are dupes out there, this is still my favorite of that collection! It's a sheer black jelly base with multi sized red glitters throughout. 

I love skulls for Halloween and these ones are just too cute. This is on a plate that is part of a set from Born Pretty.  It's stamped with Konad special polish in white, and the eyes are dotted with Orly Fresh. Dustin said they look really creepy, but that's the point right?! haha

Are you guys having fun with Halloween theme manicures yet?

China Glaze Skyscraper

Hi readers! Today's mani is the beginning of some Halloween looks I have to show you over the next few days! The base for this is China Glaze Skyscraper. I got this back in August and am just now paying attention to it..perhaps because I was waiting for it to feel like fall outside to use fall colors.

Anyway, this is a gorgeous navy blue jelly base with silver glitter throughout. It almost looks indigo in low lighting. I swear, I haven't seen swatches online that do this baby justice (including mine)! You really just have to see it in person.

Nail art inspiration comes from Nails in Nippon. She has tons of fun Halloween tutorials for nail art! Her version of this is freehand, but we went with stamping for the house instead. I like this, but her version is much better! Zoya Pippa is the moon, and Konad Black stamping polish is the house.

Keep your eyes peeled for more Halloween themed manis from me! <3

More Adoree Nail Polish Swatches + Stamping Plates

Hey everyone! I am finally squeezing a post in today. :)

Remember the last Adoree swatches I showed you? Well I have a few more for ya'll. Just as a refresher, these polishes come from Esther's Nail Center. 

So first up is Rich Chestnut, a deep terra cotta creme. Not my kind of color to wear on it's own, but I can see this being fun to layer glitters with. Plus, it definitely reminds me of fall! This is 2 coats.

This is Holy Green. I see more blue than green in this polish. It's a thin glitter that is 4 coats in the pic, but you can tell it needs another to be full coverage. This could be used for layering with just one coat. Since it's a glitter, I obviously like it. haha

Next up is Royal Crest. Love the name. This is a dark grape purple shimmer that covers in 3 coats. Believe it or not, I don't have anything exactly like this already!

And finally, my very favorite of the bunch, Flamingo Pink! Once again, love the name, and the fact that it's a glitter is even more amazing. This is 3 coats of pink and silver glitter mixed in a pink jelly base.

This next set of photos shows some of the images from Esther's Nail Center's stamping plate set. These images are from plates B03, B41, B47, B57, B72. The full set includes 19 plates for $15.95. Of the images stamped, none were duds and all stamped well. Good deal huh? 

That's it for now! Thanks for reading!

OPI DS Extravagance

Hey everyone! I hope you guys are all well! :)

Today's post is OPI DS Extravagance! This is my first DS. I since won DS Signature in a giveaway...I think I'm hooked! Also, I loved this one so much I didn't feel the need for nail art...crazy right? 

So here's Extravagance in daylight. This is ONE coat by the way! 

And here it is in it's full glory with flash indoors. I am loving all the scattered holo bits! This polish just makes me happy.

What's your favorite OPI DS polish?
