Pahlish Train Underwater

This has been on my wish list for quite a while and I was super excited when Jaclyn from The Life, Times and Lacquers of Lilmoon contacted me to let me know that I won it. It did not disappoint at all. I had put on OPI DS Magic (which is fantastic BTW) and I decided to leave it as a base for Train Underwater.  This is only one coat and it is beautiful......

500 Follower Giveaway-Color Club Halo Hues

What a fun ride this has been for me.  I have thoroughly enjoyed it.  I love blogging and following other blogs but have made really amazing friendships through this process as well.  I committed that I would give away something at each 100 followers so here we are again.  I thought long and hard about what to get and since many of you are lemming the new Color Club Halo Hues, I decided it would be a good fit.  I was lucky enough to find them at a local beauty supply shop for 4.95 a piece.  I did a group buy twice and bought them out completely.  This is what the display looked like that I brought up to the counter...........

I think the sales girl thought I was nuts. I included one extra set for my followers to have a chance at.  If you want to see swatches of these, you can find them here.  Sorry there was no sun that day but trust me....they are amazing.

Fall Into Autumn Challenge-Halloween

So, I gave up on the daily posts.  After about day 18, I realized I was posting crap just to keep up and I don't want to do that.  I enjoy showcasing polishes I love, doing challenges and focusing on nail art but too much at once just gets you a little burned out.  So, the next item on the challenge list is ironically Halloween.  I have one more Halloween design left.  Here is is.......

 

 



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.....
