Breast Cancer Awareness support nails

Hey guys.  So it is Breast Cancer Awareness month and although I haven't done a manicure for a cause before it was mentioned on the Internet that it would be a good way to  creatively show support to all the people who are effected by Breast Cancer. I know it's just a Mani and in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really "do" anything for someone effected by a terrible and scary disease but I think that beauty, support,  and good spirits are also important which is what I tried to achieve with this. I hope you enjoy.

Don't forget to educate yourself and support those effected by Breast Cancer in any way you can.

China Glaze Apocalypse of Color Halloween collection - Swatches and review

Morning all :) So I am super excited  to have the China Glaze Apocalypse of Color Halloween collection up and swatched for you today. The China Glaze  Halloween collections are always very near and dear to my heart as for the past four years I have made somewhat of a tradition of purchasing them and I have yet to be disappointed. Let's start the swatching shall we? Enjoy :)

A photo of the collection as it arrived in its Halloween packaging :) 

 

 

I love your guts is a textured polish that is largely pinish red shade flecked throughout with tons of tiny black speckles which create texture and give the appearance of dried guts on your nails. As a Halloween/ Zombie apocalypse Movie/ TV show kind of girl I love this, it's awesome and eerie and dries to a super matte textured finish.

 

Don't let the dead bite is a creamy nude/ flesh toned polish packed full of red and pinkish glitters of all sorts. I have used two coats here for optimal coverage but one coat looks really cool as well. This polish dries smooth, applies well and reminds me of blood trickles and trails as if one were to be bitten by a zombie! Muahaha!

 

But of corpse is essentially the same as I Love Your Guts, except it's this awesome shade of green and instead of looking like, well..dried guts..it looks like the color of a rotten zombie teetering around looking for brains and the like. As with I Love Your Guts this polish dries Matte with a textured feel and is awesome. 

Getting to Gnaw You is another textured polish in the collection which is a black polish with a ton of little orange glitters throughout. Unlike But of Corpse, and I Love Your Guts, this polish does not dry matte and is instead rather shiny because of all the glitter. Very monstrous and beautiful. 

The last two swatches I have are both of Rest in Pieces which as you can see is a clear base with orange and black glitter pieces in an array of shapes and sizes. The photo above is Rest is Pieces swatched alone on the nail, and the photo below is Rest in Pieces swatched over But of Corpse for an example of how it looks on top of another color. It would really have gone excellently with most of the colors in the collection. I just wanted to wear But of Corpse :P

I did also throw in a picture of the bottle of Ghoulish Glow so that you can see how much it does glow. This is the third bottle of Ghoulish Glow that I own and I absolutely love it. I was going to try to swatch it, but I decided against it in favor of incorporating it into a mani and taking a short video to show you how it glows. I will have that video up as soon as possible. Hopefully in the next few days.

All in all I was not disappointed in the least with this collection. China Glaze always does such an amazing job on their Halloween collections that I look forward to them every year. The formulas for these polishes go on amazingly- although as with some textured polishes the coats have to be very dry before you apply another coat so you don't drag any of the previous coat off the nail. The coverage and pigmentation of the overall collection was great as well - two thin coats was the max I needed for complete nail coverage with any of the polishes in the collection.

Downton Abbey inspired nails

Evening all.  So Downton Abbey  is back and I am always so inspired by movies and shows that take place in different time periods and Downton Abbey is of course no exception.  Here I have  used China Glaze Rare and Radiant and Essie Mojito Madnes. Mojito Madness is stamped over Rare and Radiant to create a tapestry / brocade feel. Enjoy :)

I really enjoy this combo for fall and since Rare and Radiant is a China Glaze duo chrome the tone of the base color changes slightly with light and movement. I hope you enjoyed this post. If you like my content don't forget to subscribe and stay in the loop.

Time for some Star Trek TNG Science Officer nails!

So I wanted to do this Mani primarily because I love me some Star Trek , but also because this amazing blue called Chelsea Girl by Color Club Nail lacquer just screamed Beverley Crusher at me so here are the results :)

  I am very pleased with the way these turned out. I hope you enjoy them to. If you like my content please subscribe to make sure you never miss a post :)

Zoya Binx swatch and review

Hello everyone :) I have a swatch for you this evening from the beautiful Zoya Bubbly collection. The shade is called Binx and it is a lovely pink tone with some gold touches and holo flecks throughout. For these swatches I applied four thin coats just to get the maximum degree of sparkle possible, however two to three thin coats is more than enough for full nail coverage. If you are familiar with any Magical Pixie polishes from Zoya the formula for the Bubbly collection is thinner by comparison and dries to a smoother texture. Binx applies easily and evenly to the nail and the glitter applies very evenly as well.  This color is buildable and becomes more and more vivid with the application of additional coats. Now some swatches for you!

Swatch and Review piCture pOlish Freya's Cats

Hey guys! So today I have a swatch of a fab Color called Freya's Cats by piCture pOlish. This polish is a deep lovely blue with scattered holo glitter throughout. The formula goes on very smoothly and I attained full coverage in two coats. The formula isn'tthick or gfloppy though so if you wanted to do three coats it would look great to. As usual with piCture pOlish I was not disappointed. I love this polish and am going to do a Mani with it right now!
