Halloween Contest Nails.

Hey guys! Thanks for dropping by again. Today I am bringing you some Halloween nails that I am entering in a contest. The Contest is being held by Nail Polish Canada.  If you are interested it can be found on their website nailpolishcanada.com under the Trends tab marked Halloween nail art challenge.  I wanted to create a monster on my nails and I think I accomplished what I was going for. I really just wanted to focus on the eyes and mouth and use all the white lines to leave the rest of its shape to the imagination as if all you can see in the dark for certain are its red eyes and sharp fangy teeth!! Haha. Well I hope you enjoy this manicure, you should head over to Nail Polish Canada and check out the entries. If you like my entry feel free to vote for it!

Super Glittery "skittles" manicure :P

Good afternoon!( or whatever time it happens to be wherever you lovely people are!) Thanks for dropping by again as you know I always appreciate it! So I've had piCture pOlish Focus for a while now but never really did a manicure around it so naturally I thought hmmm let's pair it with my favorite thing ever glitter. I think I made the right decision because I absolutely love it. Focus is a piCture pOlish shade made in collaboration with the blogger over at Pointless Cafe. As with all piCture pOlish shades that I own the formula is flawless and so smooth going on, just like butter. The glitter that I used is Cosmo by Zoya. Cosmo is part of the Magical Pixie line by Zoya.

 

In case you wanted to see the colors I used in bottle, here they are! If you don't already have these beauties in your collection I would seriously consider picking them up. I can't even count how many compliments I've had wearing them separately. 

I hope you enjoyed the post guys, thanks for dropping in again. I you like my content don't forget to subscribe. :)

OPI Nordic collection glitter gradient

Hey guys :) So I personally only picked up a few shades from the OPI Nordic collection so far, not because all the colors aren't amazing and beautiful, but because I have really similar shades to some of them so I took a miss on some of this collection. The colors are beautiful though so you should totally check the whole collection out!. Here I have used Do you have this color in Stockholm, and My voice is a little Norse (glitter). I apologize that the glitter didn't photograph as well as it looks in real life. I used my phone as I am in the process of shopping around for a new camera. I hope you can see how pretty the colors are though, and I hope you enjoy this mani :)

Some more Halloween nails!!

Hey all, so just bringing you a quick stamped Halloween mani today. I used a holo polish from Color Club called Harp on It to stamp over Essie Licorice. Sorry if there is a bit of a sheen on these photos, no matter what lighting condition I tried my high gloss top coat, combined with the holo made it hard  to not get the shine lines on the nails :O. Anyway It's just a fun mani for the Halloween season. Hope you enjoy !!

Thanks for dropping by and checking out my work again guys! It is always so appreciated. If you do enjoy my nail art and swatches please don't forget to subscribe :)

Simple Halloween Themed nails

Good morning all! October is keeping me in a Halloween/ spooky mood more often than not so I decided to go with a subtle Halloween vibe for this manicure. It's simple and easy to do but I freaking love it and I hope you will to.  Here are some pictures, I will discuss colors below :)

The polish I am holding is China Glaze Rest in Pieces from the new China Glaze Apocalypse of Color Halloween collection. Swatches can be found Here .

 

There you have it guys! The colors I used are China Glaze Roguish Red, China Glaze Rest in Pieces, and Hard Candy Black Tie Optional. The red vibrant red orange combined with the black, white and orange glitters give me a total Halloween feel without any real nail art providing a solid Halloween theme.

How I grow out and maintain my long nails

Good morning! So today I wanted to share exactly how it was that I went from having short brittle nails prone to breakage to having long nails perfect for nail art! I used to have short brittle nails that I couldn't grow out without breaking them or having them thin towards the ends so I was always trying new products that claimed to strengthen nails or help them grow. I have tried a  few different products but these two are by far the most successful in actually achieving their claims for me personally.

Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Hardener and Nail HQ Growth  are the two weapons In my personal arsenal against weak nails. I apply both products before I do my nails, even if I don't have the time to do a manicure I make sure to apply at least these two products to keep my nails strong and protected.

 Nail HQ Growth contains Biotin which is essential in healthy hair, skin and nails as well as vitamins a&d which are also integral in maintaining strong healthy nails. First off I apply one thin coat of Nail HQ Growth and allow to dry completely. The product will dry glossy and clear on the nail despite its pinkish appearance in the bottle. When this coat has dried completely I move on to the next step.

The second step in my nail preparation is applying an even coat of Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Hardener to all of my nails and letting them dry completely before moving on to any other steps in my manicure. This product is clear and adds a gloss to the nail as well. When thoroughly dry you can then move on to doing whatever lovely nail art you like.

I do this every single time I remove old polish and begin a new. No one has nails that don't break occasionally but these products really have worked excellently for me to help growth and strength. Nail HQ Growth has helped me grow my nails out longer and stronger in record time, while Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Hardener reinforces them making them stronger and helping avoid breakage.

I also want to add that in addition to applying these products I have always tried to avoid getting my hands  and nails wet for an extended period of time. When nails get water logged frequently they become more brittle and prone to breakage. If I am doing anything with my hands that requires they be wet for long periods of time (dishes, washing the car etc) I will wear gloves to protect them.

For the appearance of healthy nails and to make your nail art and manicures look even better it is also important to keep your cuticles in good shape. I often moisturize my hands paying extra attention to the cuticle area to make sure that the skin doesn't dry and peel and start to look a little on the nasty side.

Well these are the products and tips that I use to help maintain my nails and I suggest that you try them. Of course the same thing doesn't always work for everyone but I do believe in  these products and their effectiveness. Both products retail for $7-$10 and can be purchased wherever nail products are sold. I hope you enjoyed this post and that these tips work for you to! Thanks for reading!
