KBShimmer - Be Scareful

*Press Sample

This week I will be sharing some polishes from the KBShimmer Fall/Halloween 2015 Collection.

Be Scareful: Dots, shreds and circles in orange and black swim among a near white crelly base. After dark this polish glows ghoulish green. 

For these pictures I used three thin coats of Be Scareful topped with a quick dry topcoat. The formula on this polish was really nice, for a crelly I was able to get a nice amount of glitter onto each nail without fishing and the polish wasn't too thick. 

Be Scareful also glows in the dark, which is perfect for Halloween, but unfortunately I was unable to grab any glowing pictures. 

This polish is currently available at KBShimmer.com for $8.75 USD.

China Glaze - Apocalypse of Color Collection

Happy Halloween! I was really cutting it close with this one but here is the last of the Halloween polishes that I have in my to swatch pile; the China Glaze Apocalypse of Color Collection.

Don't Let the Dead Bite:

I Love Your Guts:

But Of Corpse:

Getting To Gnaw You:

Rest In Pieces & Ghoulish Glow:

Isn't that a fun collection for Halloween? I really like how unique the first three shades are and I am loving Rest in Pieces glitter and I'm not even a huge bar glitter topper fan!

Hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween today; and just for fun here's a throwback picture to me in one of my favorite Halloween costumes.

Incoco Real Nail Polish Appliques - Hocus Pocus Collection

Who's excited for Halloween? I enjoy seeing all the kids going trick-or-treating around my neighborhood all dressed up with their costumes. I also love the candy...and Halloween nail polish collections of course.

Incoco recently released the Hocus Pocus Collection for Halloween 2014, and here is what they had to say about it. "This year's four nail looks capture the spirit and fun of All Hallows Eve."

Hocus Pocus: A ghoulish mix of purple, orange, and green glitter.

Vampiress: A glittery red shade with black spikes.

Day of the Dead: A glow-in-the-dark tribute to the Mexican holiday celebrating life after death.

Witching Hour: A shimmery pumpkin orange shade with silhouettes of Halloween frights and delights.

Aren't these all to die for? My favorites are the last three (lol, I know I suck a narrowing things down). The glitter shades are a little harder to conform to the nails because they are slightly thicker but other than that these were all perfect.

These appliques are currently available at Incoco.com and retail between $7.99 and $8.99.

DIFFERENTdimension - Spooky Spooky (Halloween Collection) 2014

My first Halloween Collection of 2014, how exciting! Today I'll be sharing with you the Spooky Spooky Collection from DIFFERENTdimension. This collection will be released along with the Heavy Metals (Fall) Collection and a selection of fall Cuticle Oils on September 26th. You will be seeing the Heavy Metals Collection soon.

SPOOKY SPOOKY COLLECTION

 

Dragula: An orange jelly based texture polish with black and orange holographic glitters throughout. Opaque in two to three coats - can also use topcoat for extra sparkle and shine.

This is two thick coats, and as you can see, it's completely opaque. I decided to go ahead and add a topcoat to this polish for that extra something. This is the perfect microglitter polish for Halloween.

Thriller: A dark violet jelly polish with added shimmer. Opaque in two to three coats.

I am wearing two thin coats of polish here. As you can see, it's not yet opaque but probably would be like it mentions in the description. I love the pop of something special with the red shimmer added in here.

Werewolves of London: A holographic orange polish. Opaque in two to three coats.

I am wearing two coats without topcoat. As you can see, this is completely opaque. It has a nice holographic quality to it, and it reminds me of a very traditional Halloween / pumpkin orange.

Monster Mash: Missi's personal definition of the perfect Halloween glitter topper, orange, black and white glitters in a variety of shapes and sizes with added holographic glitters.

This is one coat of Monster Mash over Seche Effortlessly Styled. I love that there is a mix of glitters and colors in this topper, and it really is great for Halloween!

Ghostbusters: A light neon orange crelly with iridescent glitters. Glows orange in the dark, can be intensified by layering polish over white. Opaque in two to three coats. May require an extra coat of topcoat.

I am wearing this shade over my nude nails, and this is two coats. While completely opaque, I think that the fact I didn't layer over white decreased the glow in the dark factor. This color is pretty over natural nails and is more subdued for Halloween.

(I had a bit of a hard time capturing the GITD feature, I understand that the picture quality is not as nice as the normal pictures. I think you can still see how fun the orange glow is!)

So there you have it; the Spooky Spooky Halloween Collection! Will you be picking up any of these shades when they release?

Release Information:
Date - 9/26/14
Time - 9:00pm EST
Availability - Limited Edition; available through the end of October

The Nail Challenge Collaborative Presents - Halloween Month - Week 4

Happy Halloween! I knew today would be the perfect day to post my last Challenge mani for the NCC October theme of Halloween. For this mani, I re-created a look from a JauntyJuli tutorial. Halloween Cupcake Nails!

Onto the nails!

Polishes Used:
-Sinful Colors - Hazard
-Essence - Black is Back
-Wet 'n Wild - On A Trip
-Sation - Of Corset I'll Call You
-NYC - Love Letters
-Acrylic Paints

I tried to follow the tutorial but after I was done I realized some steps I didn't do it in order and forgot the scar on Frankenstein. hehe. It is still a super cute mani in my opinion.

I hope you all have a fun Halloween and don't get too much sugar overload (I'm hoping that we get a lot of trick or treaters so we don't have too much left over candy!)

Check out all the other lovely mani's created by the NCC ladies below!

Falling for Nail Art Challenge: Halloween

Halloween is getting close! I don't know if you celebrate or not, but we enjoy trick or treat night when we can see all the kids dressed up in Halloween costumes. Since Halloween is tomorrow that is when our neighborhood is doing trick or treat.

Today's theme in the Falling for Nail Art Challenge is, you guessed it, Halloween!

 

Polishes Used:
-Wet 'n Wild - Sunny Side Up
-Pahlish - Singing In The Garden
-Pahlish - Mind Like A Diamond
-MASH - Black
-Bundle Monster Plate - BM-H08
-Barielle - Topcoat

Seeing as this is almost the last Halloween themed mani of the year I decided to go traditional black and orange. I was going to do a sponged base with purple and green on top of the orange but when I sponged on the Pahlish, only the glitters transferred, and I really liked the look of the green and purple shimmer/glitter so I kept on going. Sort of a random, dirty, halloweeny look. Next I used one of my Holiday Plates from Bundle Monster to add the zombie arms and black cat.

Here's a closer look at the cat image (really liked it):

What do you think? Does this look nice and Halloween-ish to you? Make sure to check out what everyone else did for their Halloween looks!
