Fall Into Autumn Challenge-Gradient

I used my favorites for this autumn looking gradient.  ENCHANTED POLISH!!!!  I love this polish.  It is super holo and super pigmented.  Which means it looks great even when you are not in the sunlight.  I used Sour Patch Kid, Dragon Spit and Cranberry Cosmo. They seemed like fall colors to me. Then I stamped on the top with a leaf pattern.  Of course.....no sun when I put it on, or the next day....

F4 Polish Drunken Zombie

I was on the fence about this polish when it came in the Halloween Collection.  I liked the complexity of the color but I was sure it would make my hands look as if they belonged on a zombie.  It didn't turn out too bad.  No base coat of color here, just two coats of Drunken Zombie....

Spider Webs on a Holo

This Halloween design was a request from my controller Sue.  She showed me a picture from the Internet of spiderwebs on a black background.  I liked the image but thought it needed more depth so I broke out my Color Club Revvolution.  It is an amazing holographic polish that looks black, grey and sometimes even a little green in certain lights.  I topped it off with BM13 and plain old Konad White. I took pictures in various indoor lighting since there was no sun...AGAIN!!!!

Amy's Nail Boutique Tiger Lilly

This polish I purchased as part of a collection from Amy on her Etsy site.  I love this collection she based on flowers.  It really is a summer polish but I have yet to try it out and thought it made a fitting choice to layer over black for Halloween.  This is over China Glaze Liquid Leather.  Only one coat of Tiger Lilly and it went on beautifully like all of Amy's polishes.....

 

 

 

Candy Corn....how could I not???

It wouldn't be Halloween without candy corn.  I know you have seen it a hundred times but this simple classic is one of my favorites.  This is a sponged gradient using Milani White On The Spot, Cult Nails Feel Me Up and Zoya Arizona.  What more can I say about it??

Halloween Argyle

If it wasn't for the fact that I am so busy right now and am fully committed to doing a Halloween post every day, I would not post this at all.  I would consider this a failed attempt at argyle.  Love the colors, ManGlaze trio of Butt Taco, Mink Mitten and Fuggen Ugly.  The problem was in the execution.  The stripes were not opaque enough so went over them thicker and it really ruined the look.  I should have dragged out my tried and true black stripper and went over them with that.  Next time......

Fall Into Autumn Challenge-Pumpkins

I got another Halloween recommendation from my co-worker's daughters (Tiffany and Emily if you don't follow me regularly).  I thought this was a good one to link back up with my challenge group.  Snoopy sitting on a pumpkin.  I used Milani White On The Spot for the base and a Zoya Arizona for the orange along with a few acrylic paints for shading.
