Lumina Lacquer Peculiar Pumpkin Posse

Good morning ghosts and ghouls!  Happy Halloween!  I have 2 Halloween manis to share with you today and this it the first one!  A lovely polish created by Tatiana over at Lumina Lacquer.  I love my Luminas!  They are always packed full of glitter, sparkly and beautiful.  This particular Lumina definitely fits that bill!  If you are interested in Lumina Lacquer you can purchase polish HERE, and can follow on Facebook and Instagram (luminalacquer).  You definitely want to follow the Instagram account - that's where sneak previews of new colors pop up all the time!

Peculiar Pumpkin Posse is awesome.  It's a glitter bomb full of orange, black, holo and the darkest teal glitters.  It's got hexs, diamonds, moons, microglitter and black HOLO pumpkins!!!  I think there are orange holo pumpkins too but none wanted to come out and play.  I did get some black holo pumpkins out (minimal fishing required as Luminas are so full of glitter you always get something exciting on your brush) and they are super awesome!  The formula was great - so much glitter came out and it all spread nicely on my nails for full coverage!  I used 2 coats of PPP over a gradient of Orly Liquid Vinyl (black creme) and LA Girl 3D Silver (scattered silver holo).  My accent nail is 3 coats of 3D Silver alone.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat and viola!  Blingy Halloween nails!

Halloween Nails!

Good morning dears!  Halloween is almost upon us and I have a little mani I threw together for the occasion!  Nothing special or intricate, no art.  Just black and orange and pretty!  If time allowed I might have 1 or 2 more Halloween manis to share, let's just hope Mr. Sun decides to come out and play so I can get nice pictures.  Anyhoodle...let's look at this mani for now and I will worry about the other when it's time for that.  

I started this mani off with 2 layers of Orly Liquid Vinyl on my thumb, index and middle fingers.  I then did a reverse gradient on those fingers with Girly Bits Holo'Ween.  This is a gorgeous mix of holo orange micro glitter, orange bars and black glitters.  It's in a clear base but the micro glitters are dense so you likely won't see much of the base color.  I sponged 1-2 layers on those 3 nails, dabbing a few sparse glitters down to the tips of my nails.  For my ring and pinky I used OPI Emotions, a sparkly black sand on the top half of my nails.  Then I used Zoya Dhara on the bottom half of my nails.  To blend the colors a bit more I dabbed Julie G Tangerine Dream in the middle of them.  I used 2 coats of each of the texture polishes.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat over my thumb, index and middle fingers.
