Nothing to Disclose

 

During Halloween time, I pull out all my Halloween or fall-themed polishes and give them a little extra love. Sonoma Nail Art was one of my favorite indies, and her Halloween collection from 2012 still remains to be one of my favorites (along with my favorite labels ever!). Since I just wore it, I figured I would share my NOTD!

Red Dog Designs Spellbound-ed

Gift

Today I have a VERY special polish. If you love glitters or textures, Red Dog Designs makes some of the best. Gina, the creator, knows how much I have been searching for China Glaze Spellbound for at least 4 years. It's like a total unicorn. I'll never get it. I've looked on every trade site, ebay, everything! So despite my sadness, Gina recreated this unicorn for me, and named it Spellbound-ed. It was a total surprise for my birthday and I couldn't wait to wear it!

Don't be scared! It's not real ghosts! They just put on sheets! I love playing around with flocking powder but it's been a really long time. I pulled it out and immediately thought about the easiest Halloween costume, a sheet with eyes cut out!

Good morning! Today is a fun post where I have coordinated my manicure with an accessory. I do this a lot with my nail art, so when I saw the wood watches from JORD, I knew I wanted to mimic the beautiful wood the watch is made out of.

ORLY One Nail Stand Peel Off Base Coat Wear Test and Review

Press Sample

Today I'm showing you something different, a peel off base coat from ORLY called One Night Stand! We have been hearing about peel off base coats for a long time now. It makes for easy glitter removal! I tried to Elmer's glue trick around 4 years ago and my nail polish slid right off the next morning. Suffice to say, I haven't tried it since! So when I received ORLY One Night Stand, I was excited to give it a try!

Jessica Cosmetics La Vie Boheme Collection Rainbow Vertical Dotticure

It is official. This is THE Fall collection for me. I have by far reached for this collection the most the past 6 weeks I have had it. The formulas, pigmentations, colors, all of it is perfection. These colors also STAMP amazingly well. The only reason it took me so long to post swatches is because I can't stop doing nail art with this collection and the nail art looks so awesome, I don't want to take it off! Let's get to my second look of nail art. I did the "Inspired by Jewelry post" HERE and now I'm doing dots!
