Sally Hansen Fire Opal: Goldspun Opal

I have another NOTD for you today. Goldspun Opal is an awesome duochrome, it flashes between green and purple.


This is one coat over Color Club black from the Bewitching collection.






and this last one is two coats:



Thanks for looking!!

Today's color is Charmed I'm Sure from Color Club's Bewitching Halloween mini set:

I haven't tried any of the other colors or decals yet, but I did a quick swatch this morning; this is using an OTT light:

China Glaze Ick-A-Bod-y + SH Hidden Treasure

So, just cuz I never know when to stop, I decided to add a layer of Sally Hansen's Hidden Treasure over my CG Ick-A-Bod-Y mani. The result is pretty nice actually. It has the whole fall leaves thing going on. And the HT doesn't compete with the orange glitter, so I think this is a win.

China Glaze Awakening

My Sally's finally got the China Glaze Awakening collection in this week! The SA had to get them out of the back. The awesome part is, that when she tried to use the $1 off 2 coupon it wouldn't ring up, so she gave me the 3rd polish for free ☺☺☺

These are three coats without top coat:


Sorry, today you only get swatches. I'm still sporting my ATU mani ♥ But I can't wait to try them. Ick-A-Body is so pretty, I adore orange glitters.

Thanks for looking!!

Lippmann Collection Across the Universe

Behold the beauty that is Across the Universe! WOW. This is everything I hoped it would be. The only other Lippmann I have is Ruby Red Slippers, so I had high hopes for ATU and I was not disappointed. Here are some bottle shots. Notice the mixture of blue and green teal glitter?



Here is one coat. ATU is a sheer black base with blue micro glitter and a mixture of blue and teal hex glitter:

And two coats (not topcoat)


This is seriously one of the prettiest polishes I own ♥♥♥

Halloween Nails - Candy Corn

I've wanted to do Candy Corn nails ever since I saw someone on MUA do them last year ☺ I used Cover Girl Boundless Color in Candy Corn (ha!), Wet n Wild White Creme and Avon Nailwear Pro in Sunshine; I used tape as the guides.

Halloween Nails - Spiders!

I went to the Christmas Tree Store today and found they stock Color Club polishes. So I picked up the striper called Black Hologram. I used that as the base and stamped images from Fauxnad plate P57 and Bundle Monster plate BM13.

Pumpkin Glitter; Bloom Mena + Orly Space Cadet

First, I wanted to say thank you to ChaosButterfly for nominating me for the The Sunshine Award. I really appreciate it!! Please visit her blog here.


I ended up picking up another Pumpkin glitter. It's the same as the blue one I showed you, but it's red. The label on it also says Chunky Nail. Here is the blue one overtop my last Halloween Mani:

Can you see how it's actually an ice blue color instead of the darker blue the 1st picture showed? I adore this color!

My current NOTD is Orly's Space Cadet, but I wanted to layer one coat over black. The black color I choose is Bloom Mena. This pick was taken next to a lamp, but see the awesome rainbow on the bottle?


Once on the nail though, you don't see the holo unless in direct sunlight. It applies like a dream though and is great for Konading. I added one layer of Orly's Space Cadet overtop:




Space Cadet is so pretty. It shows mostly purple and green on me. If you're on the fence about picking it up, I would recommend it! It applies beautifully and the color is amazing.

Thanks for looking!

New Sally Hansen Extreme Wears

I got a fantastic deal on the new Sally Hansens today at Meijer. They were on sale BOGO 50% off plus I had four coupons. I ended up getting all four for under $4. I also picked up an awesome Pumpkin glitter. The bottom the the bottle says Chunky Nail? Don't know if that's a color name or if all of them had that on there. I didn't think to look.


Here is a pick of each:


So, here's the rundown:

Pumpkin glitter: This is an awesome blue micro glitter base with larger silver hex glitter. I adore this!
Cosmic Blue: A blurple color with sparse amounts of silver holo glitter and thread glitter.
Puple Fiesta: This is a dark reddish purple color and like Cosmic Blue, it has the holo and thread glitter.
Blue Icing: I love this one! It's an ice blue frost with the same glitters as above. Yeah, I love a frost :)
Mystic Lilac: A pale grayish purple color with an ice blue shimmer to it. It's a pretty unique color.
