Nothing to Disclose

I always look forward to China Glaze's Halloween Collection! The brand is known for their awesome Halloween collections and when I saw this one at Cosmoprof, I was definitely excited. The Apocalypse of Colour features six colors, and I have five below. I love the inspiration behind the colors and the names! Check out my swatches below!

Breast Cancer Awareness Nail Art with Joby Decals

Press Sample

You saw my post the other day playing around with Joby Halloween Nail Decals and today I have some Breast Cancer Awareness decals. October happens to be Breast Cancer Awareness month and October is almost over, but I feel people should support whatever they want whenever they want. If you support a cause, it should not be designated to one specific month.

Zoya Matte Velvet Collection: Swatches and Comparisons

Press Sample

The Zoya Velvet Matte collections was one of my favorite nail polish collections of all time. I am lucky enough to have the 2009 versions of these polishes so I decided to do a comparison to see if the 2009 versions were exact to the 2014 versions. And wow, you will be surprised to find out they are not the same! I am certainly excited that these are available to everyone now, but they are limited, so grab them quick. Continue reading for comparisons of the versions and to see these beauties in both matte and shiny versions.

Halloween Framed Dotticure and Playing with Halloween Decals

 Press Sample

As my title states, I am playing with some Halloween decals today! Overall Beauty has a huge selection of decals and Kim, the owner, sent me over a bunch to play with. She included two different Halloween sets and although Halloween is close, I highly suggest grabbing these now! They are glittery, fun, and easy to use. Decals are great for art if you don't like doing art or are short on time so let's check out my post!

Red Dog Designs The Great Pumpkin

Nothing to Disclose

Sorry for such a late night post, but I have more Halloween themed nail polish to show you and this one is an oldie, but is still available! I currently wore this as my NOTD and fell back in love. One of my favorite indies is Red Dog Designs, and although she hasn't released new collections, she recently restocked her shop with ALL of her previous collections, including the Halloween collection!

Alter Ego Gloss48 Duo: Rows Her Boat and Sold on Gold

Press Sample

Alter Ego is one of my favorite indie brands because the shimmer matte polishes are really classic yet special. It is like getting two polishes in one; you can leave the polish matte or use a top coat for the most incredible shimmer. Cynthia, the creative maker behind these polishes, presents you with the Gloss48 Duo that includes one of my favorite Alter Egos ever (although I feel like I say that every time I post an Alter Ego!!).

Halloween Texture Dizzy Swirl Lollipop Nail Art

Nothing to Disclose 

Yea, I have no idea what to call this. Sometimes I just pick out polishes, sit down, and run with it. I brought out a bunch of texture polishes in Halloween colors and well, I came up with this. There's no real rhyme or reason. Just a striping brush and texture polish!

Today I have created the easiest skittle manicure featuring China Glaze polishes, both old and new.

I pulled out two of my favorite China Glaze polishes to complete this easy Halloween look!

Serum No. 5 Flashing Lights and Cuticle Serum Review

Press Sample

Today I have a one-of-a-kind polish that I have not seen from any other brand. Flashing Lights is a light reflective polish that is crazy loud under flash but simple and delicate in normal lighting. Along with Flashing Lights, I was able to try out Serum No. 5 Cuticle Serum and White Tea Lime Ginger sugar scrub.  So check out this polish that will be perfect for Halloween trick-or-treating or a night out!

Mentality Nail Polish It's a Baby! Palette Collection: Swatches and Review

 Press Sample

The It's a Baby! palette from Mentality Nail Polish features four nail polishes for $20 which is currently available. All four polishes are considered "jelly creme" polish, but I am unclear with that description. These remind me more of shimmery frosts. These polishes are great for layering though, so check out my swatches and simply nail art.

Seriously, take a seat and be ready for a huge post! The Show Me collection by Colors by Llarowe consists of four holographic multichrome polishes which means I have a ton of photos to show you so I could show off all the colors! I even did some awkward underwater shots to show off these beauties, so grab a snack and relax! If you want to see the amazing transformations these polishes make, I suggest you check out my post below! These are also on their final restock right now, so grab them while you can.

Pahlish Casino Oasis

 Press Sample

I have to admit, this Pahlish was my introduction to the brand, and what have I been missing? It's why I had to post this gorgeous Cosmoprof Exclusive today, because Pahlish is premiering her new Holoween collection tonight in her restock and I'm so incredibly excited for this collection (and the Pahlish ghost is just too cute!!). Based on this gorgeous polish, Casino Oasis, and Pahlish's previews of her new polishes, they look similar with the flakie shimmer you will see in this polish below.

Nothing to Disclose

You know I love my textures! I have a list of my untried polishes and I noticed the white and yellow cupcake polishes were untried. Not okay! So I grabbed the orange cupcake and decided to do a new take on candy corn with some pastel textures! Check out how I got this look!

The Painted Nail SallyAnn and Heidi

Press Sample

Have you heard of The Painted Nail? Katie Cazorla, owner and creator, was once on a nail polish reality show for her salon. Now, she has moved onto bigger things, focusing solely on her newest salon and her nail polish line. I had the chance to meet her at Cosmoprof North America where she had a blogger get together (and you can see some pictures on their Facebook). She was very nice and provided us with a few of her polishes at the end of the night.

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer What Wouldn't I Do Halloween Collection: Swatches and Review

Press Sample

When I heard that Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer would be releasing a collection on Practical Magic, I immediately took out my DVD and squee'ed. It's not your typical Halloween movie, but with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as kickass witches, I can't not have a Halloween without it. I love this movie and I love the inspiration behind all the polishes. Today I have 4 out of 5 of this collection, so check out my swatches below!

Can you guys bear with me and check out this amazing neon?! I know we are finally in autumn, but with last week's 80 degree heat, it's not that cold yet. I finally had the chance to try out this Color Secrets polish and WOW. You need to know more about this brand. I had the chance to meet them way back at Cosmoprof North America, and their brand has awesome makeup, lashes, and skincare products to go along with their nail polish!
