Halloween Nail Art using Sally Hansen Halloween and NYC New York Color Hallween 2014

Good morning!  I'm back with some nail art!  Yesterday I shared a couple posts, Sally Hansen Halloween and NYC New York Color Midnight Beauty, they are all such perfect colors how could I not use them all together to create some fun Halloween nails?  So that's just what I did.  Let's go ahead and jump in to see!

The first look I went for was a classic black and white themed mummy mani.  I used Sally Hansen Scaredy Matte, OMGhost and NYC New York Color Rock Muse Smoky Topcoat to create this look.  I love how these all worked together.  I feel like my nails are in a black and white horror flick.  I used topcoat on all but my index nail.  

The second look I created is fun, happy little pumpkin mani!  I used Sally Hansen Pumpkin Queen, OMGhost, Scaredy Matte and Fuzzy Coat Fur-ankenstein to create this look.  I'm happy with how my pumpkin turned out, he's so cheerful!  Of course I love the Fuzzy Coat nail too, being the bar glitter fan that I am.  I used topcoat on all nails.  

Sally Hansen Halloween 2014 (partial review)

Good evening (late nigh?)!  I'm back with more Halloween shades to share with you.  This time it's the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri set and a new Fuzzy Topcoat!  The Halloween Collection is full of fast drying cremes and a beautiful matte.  I have never tried the Insta-Dri formula before and I found it quite fabulous!  I also have one of the new Fuzzy Coat polishes to show you - and yes, I love bar glitter!  The Halloween Collection and Fuzzy Coat duo are currently in stores and they are $4.99/$5.99 each.

Up first is OMGhost, a stark white creme.  I found the formula nice and creamy, not chalky or streaky whatsoever.  I used 2 coats of OMGhost for full coverage and finished with 1 layer of topcoat.  

The Pumpkin Queen is a perfect orange creme.  The formula was lovely, nice and creamy.  Such a smooth application too!  I reached full opacity in 2 coats of Pumpkin Queen.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat.  

Lastly I have Scaredy Matte.  This is a beautiful black matte with no shimmer.  It's just a perfectly flat black.  I love that it's not shiny, gives it a real edgy look.  Honestly it reminds me of black leather.  Formula and application of Scaredy Matte were both great.  Smooth formula with great coverage.  I used 2 coats of Scaredy Matte and no topcoat.  

*the 4th polish in this collection is a shiny black creme - Fright Night.

Sally Hansen also released 2 new Fuzzy Coat polishes for Halloween.  I have Fur-ankenstein, a light lime green and black matte bar glitter topcoat.  I know these "hairy" glitters aren't for everyone but I personally love them.  Fur-ankenstein has a fabulous formula.  The glitters come out in abundance and spread easily across my nails.  I used 2 coats of Fur-ankenstein over Pumpkin Queen and OPI Funky Dunky on my accent nail.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat.  

*the other Fuzzy Coat is an orange and black mix called Watchful Thinking.  

Summer of Untrieds Day 4: Red, White & Blue

Good morning all!  Happy 4th of July to all my fellow Americans, hope you have a wonderful day full of BBQ, boating, hiking, camping, beaching, swimming, tanning, gambling, traveling, watching fireworks or doing whatever it is you do to celebrate our nations independence.  I am enjoying time with my family and visiting Mickey Mouse.  I'm also meeting up with my little brother for dinner because today happens to be his birthday (yay fireworks for him every year)!   Of course I have patriotic nails on and what a coincidence, Day 4 of Summer of Untrieds (#summerofuntrieds) is Red, White and Blue!  I have on 3 untrieds in this mani, yay me!  But this post is also a twofer and is part of a linked post with other bloggers who did Independence Day manis!  Hope you enjoy your day and my mani!  

I started this festive mani out with 2 coats of Sheswai Honeyfox on my index and thumb nails.  Holy heck this red is one shiny and juicy beauty!  Honeyfox had an absolutely fantastic formula.  Now I want to buy all the Sheswai (damn, untried challenge is about to backfire on me as I buy all the Sheswai).  I used Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Tight Knit, a tiny bar glitter topper full of matte white and royal blue bars.  I used 2 coats of Tight Knit.  I am personally a fan bar glitters, they are so fun and look neat and take on the important role of the stripes in this mani.  Moving on, I use Smitten Polish Nimbus on my middle and pinky nails.  Nimbus is my favorite "white" holo because it has so little grey in it, it actually does show up as white.  Perfect formula and application on Nimbus.  Lastly, on my ring fingers, I used 2 coats of Zoya Sunshine, a navy blue texture polish and topped it with hand drawn stars using OPI Solitaire.  I used topcoat on all but the textured nails.  And phew...done!

Fall Mani with Nubar Go Native, Take Off the Mask, Ninja Polish Color Changing Garnet & China Glaze Light As A Feather

Good morning and happy Sunday!  I hope this weekend has treated you well so far.  I've been a busy bee with soccer and festivals and birthday parties.  I find that I am always out and about on the weekends!  I was rocking a new Fall themed mani too and it's so pretty!  I love how it turned out!  So let's get into the details shall we?

I found some new Nubar collections at my beauty supply store and I just couldn't pass up a few of them!  I started this mani with 2 layers of Go Native (thumb, ring and pinky).  This shimmery rusty colored orange has my heart all aflutter!  It has definitely jumped to the front of my favorite orange list.  It's reading much more orange-red in the pictures than it really is.  I then used Take Off the Mask - a deep chocolaty brown with a hint of red and beautiful shimmer.  I used 2 coats of TotM on my index, middle and sponged it onto the tip of my ring finger nail.  Both of these Nubars had fabulous formula and applied so nicely.  If you come across the Wild West collection I definitely suggest you pick these 2 (or any) up!  On my index and middle I used 1 layer of Ninja Polish Color Changing Garnet to have some pretty shifty color changing - and it worked great because my nails were flashing a deep garnet, gold and olive green!  Perfect Fall colors!  I loved CCG and I will definitely use it again soon.  Finally I drew inspiration from this mani by my friend Michelle at Ehmkay Nails and dabbed China Glaze Light As A Feather over the middle section of my ring finger nail (covering the gradient point).  I picked this bar glitter because it was black, pastel orange, white and yellow glitters and those colors seemed Halloweenish to me.  I finished it all off with a layer of topcoat.
