Hi everyone!
It's the night before Halloween, a.k.a., Mischief Night.  Tonight's the night I make sure to move my car from the street to the driveway because kids like to go around egging and toilet paper'ing peoples cars...good grief!  Oh well, on to the polish, shall we?

Today I have 2 China Glaze polishes from their 2011 Haunting collection.  Near Dark is a deep green jelly that was very difficult for me to capture in pictures. It was showing black, but I managed to get a few pictures that show its true color.  Over it, I layered It's Alive, a mixture of different sized swampy green glitter.







Each polish was 2 coats each. By now, you guys know I love China Glaze, and these 2 polishes just add to my love for them.  Near dark is such a lovely jelly that is gorgeous in the sunlight because it shows it's green hues. And It's Alive is a swampy green goodness of glitter that looks gorgeous layered over ND.  I have to say though, that It's Alive is a topcoat eater! I had to put a big glob of SV over each nail then smooth it over.

Soooo..thoughts?? Do you own either of these polishes?

Hi everyone!
I'm sure you have seen these cute little tombstones all over the place! These come from Fantasy Makers, from the makers of Wet n Wild.  You can find these at Ulta, CVS, Walgreens, just about anywhere.  This polish is Purple Potion, a purple glitter in a black base.

Hi everyone!
I've got 2 polishes for you today. For my base, I used an unnamed pumpkin-shaped polish from Rite-Aid and for the glitter top coat I used 1 coat of WnW Correction Tape. Surprisingly for an unnamed, unbranded polish that costs $1.99, the formula of the pumpkin polish was actually pretty easy to work with and I liked the tint it gave my nails.

Hi everyone!
Here it is. Week 2 of the Challenge which is a mani inspired by an upcoming holiday. To go along with my Halloween polish posts, I decided to do a Halloween manicure.  I'm not very creative when it comes to thinking of nail art, so I took to Google and went to work!

Instantly I found this page HERE and I decided that it was possible for me to attempt to recreate it. Her nail art is crazy cool and I'm so glad I came across it!



I hope I did it some kind of justice! LOL. I've always stayed away from nail art because I just kept it in my head that I couldn't do it, therefore, never attempted it. But as I was doing this mani, I really had fun! So hopefully I will do the occasional nail art attempt here and there.

Hi everyone!
I've got a real treat for you today!  This one's a beauty! Cougar Attack is a variety of burnt orange hex glitter in a black jelly base.  It's just like Behind Closed Doors in the application and jelly finish.  2 coats of pure magic.  I love this polish so much. It's definitely a very unique color and is PERFECT for Halloween time!




Look at the coverage of this baby! So packed with glitter with 2 coats!

Sooooo...thoughts? What do you think of Cougar Attack?

Hi everyone!
I'm really excited about this glitter from the On the Prowl collection. Tangled In My Web is a black hex glitter in a clear jelly base. I love it! I've tried it over light colors, dark colors, other glitters...I just love its versatility! I layerd TIMB over N.Y.C. Pumpkin which is such a great orange! 1 coat was pretty opaque, but I used 2 to even it out over the whole nail.

Hi everyone!
I better get cracking on getting to these Halloween polishes because pretty soon Halloween will be over!  So here we go, today's color is Wet n Wild's Behind Closed Doors.  Out of the entire On the Prowl collection, I think this is the polish that most people wanted because it seemed to be a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Ruby Red Slippers.  As I don't own the DL polish, I can't really say for sure, but from what I've seen in picture comparisons online, they look pretty close.
