Sally Hansen Magical - Magenta Magic

Are you still loving the holographic polish trend? I am. I wasn't always on board with it and I seem to go through love/hate phases with it but I am currently loving it. And apparently I also was back in college when I purchased this polish.

Polishes Used:
-OPI - Nail Envy
-Sally Hansen - Magenta Magic
-Out The Door

I am wearing two coats of Magenta Magic in these photos. A single coat is always sort of streaky with these polishes but the second always seems to even things out. This is a great shade of pink and looks good on all skin tones. It is one of three of the Magical polishes that I have and this is definitely my favorite.

Do you own any of the Magical collection? Which ones?

Candii Blossom Cosmetics - Summer's End

Today I will be sharing with you Summer's End, that I won from Candii Blossom Cosmetics.

Polishes Used:
-Candii Blossom Cosmetics - Summer's End
-Glisten & Glow - HK Girl

For these swatches I am wearing 2 coats of Summer's End. It is a lovely fushia jelly polish with pink shimmer and glitters in white and dark pink. It also has black stars in it. The application wasn't bad although it was a tad on the thicker side, it self leveled.

This goes along great with BCA month since its fun and pink :)

Classic French

As you know I love a good French mani; it's like a palette cleanser. Since October has been full of link-ups and more nail art challenges than I am used to, here is a simple and classic French mani.

Polishes Used:
-OPI - Nail Envy
-OPI - Alpine Snow
-Gelous
-Out The Door

I love the look of these. They remind me of high school and college when I would get acrylics in pink and white. They are so simple but always seem to get compliments.

Keeping this post super short and sweet, but do you ever need a palette cleanser mani? Do you a classic French, plain nude, or something else?

Falling For Nail Art Challenge: Creepy Crawlers & AIS - Stamping over a Holographic Base

Happy Sunday! Today I am killing two birds with one stone and using one mani for both the Falling for Nail Art Challenge and Adventures in Stamping themes.

And here is the look that I came up with!

Polishes Used:
-Different Dimension - Nessie's Revenge
-Konad - White
-Konad - Black
-Cheeky Jumbo Plate 6
-Mash Plate 38

For the 'Creepy Crawlers' I decided to go with Spiders/webs. I don't really like spiders and we seem to have those house spiders all over now that the weather is cooler. I am not sure which I hate more, the thousand leggers or the spiders, lol. The spiders that I added to the webs are gross and creepy, we had grass spiders in our house one and it was terrible, these remind me of that type. (Gross, I know)
