Astor 356 & Etos 04-05

Hi!
I love Astor 356, it is such a pretty color and one of my go to polishes for this winter.
I think you are going to see this one more.
This time I paired it with a purple glitter polish.

Astor 356 is a dark purple with a pruple sheen.
It hasn't got glitter or shimmer just a sheen.
The glitter is Etos 04-05, is a weird color, it is a sheer purple base with silver hexago glitter and small silver glitter.
I thought that the purple base would do something but it didn't do anything.
I ended up with a dark purple with silver glitter.
It is pretty but not what I wanted.

I hope you liked it.

Bubbles

Hi!
I saw this tutorial and wanted to do it.
But it was a halloween bubble tutorial, I didn't want to use the halloween theme so I used rainbow colors instead.
Link for the tutorial:

What I used:
Basecoat: Essence Allround.
Colors: Paris Memories 234, H&M Pink Summer,
Claire's mini's in: Grape, Apple, Lemon, Blueberry, Orange.

I didn't use a topcoat because you can't smell the scent of the Claire's polishes if you apply a topcoat over them.

I hope you liked it.

Jewel

Hi!
I saw this tutorial on an Asian blog and I loved it.
Link for the site:
I don't know which language the site is but the pictures are so easy to follow.
I would recommend to use soft pastel colors.
And use a kitchen sponge.
And finally apply your topcoat when the polish is wet, the colors will blend a bit.

What I used:
Basecoat: Essence Allround Talent.
Colors: Paris Memories 234, China Glaze For Audrey, Miss Sporty 301, Sephora Valentine.
Other Products: Silver Beads, Oval Pearls, Clear Rhinestones, Sponge, Aluminum Foil, Essence SOS Nail Glue.
Topcoat: Essence Allround Talent.

I should have used a pastel yellow color but I don't have one.

I hope you liked it.

Quick Bleeding Nails

Hi!
If you want a creepy halloween look on your nails but don't want to have one color of nail polish this could be the thing!
You only need a blood red nail polish and nail polish remover.
1.Apply your base.
You could apply a nude polish but if you don't it will look more natural.

2.Sponge or polish the top part of your nails with red.
You can get it on you cuticle and be messy with it.

3.Thin the nail polish and drag it over the nail.
Thin the nail polish on a tray or palet.
And be messy and random with it.
It will add to the effect.

I also painted a bit of the red under my nails.

Easy and quick.
I hope you liked it.

Starting Out Sunday Reverse Half Moon

Hi!
I already showed how to do the Half Moon manicure, now I'm going to show you the Reverse Half Moon.
It is similair to the Half Moon but in opposite direction.
So it is going to curve in.
You are going to use the same products.
But this time I used a round sticker but the plaster will do job too.

1.Apply your basecoat and basepolish.
With a Half Moon you would apply the color of the moon but for a Reverse Half Moon you have to apply the color that is going to be over the rest of the nail.

2.Place the sticker.
3.Polish the top section.
If you are using a sticker like this you have to be carefull that you don't polish in the hole.
I did that the first time and it wasn't fun.

4.Peel the sticker off and apply your topcoat.

I used H&M Duo Nail Polish in Dusty Nails.
And the topcoat is Catrice Matt Topcoat.

I hope you liked it.

No Time For A Halloween Nail Art?

Hi!
Are you celebrating halloween but you don't have time to go all out on your nails?
Just a simple color could do the job too!
Maybe one of these colors is something for you.
I'm not going to post a Stamping Saturday this week because I didn't had time to make a design.
I hope this will make up for that.


I've already shown this polish but I think it would be perfect if you are going to be a mermaid or sea creature.
It is Essence Blue Addicted.
It is a sheer dark blue with green and blue hexago glitter and tiny blue glitters.

Essence Blue Addicted, 2 coats.


Maybe a slimmy green would suit you better?
This is a fun color for halloween.
It is Paris Memories 262.
I think it isn't a secret that I love this brand.

Paris Memories 262, 3 coats.

Teeez Femme Fatale.
This is one of the most beautiful red polishes I've ever seen.
It is a red polish with red, gold and a few purple shimmer/glitter particles in it.
It is gorgeous.
This would be great if you are going to dress up as a show girl or something like that.

Teeez Femme Fatale, 2 Coats.

What sceams Halloween more than a bright orange?
Yep, nothing!
This is Essence Wake Up!
It's just a bright cream orange.
Perfect for halloween.

Essence Wake Up!, 2 coats.

Saffron Silver Polish.
Well you can't buy this polish on it's own.
You have to buy this in a set. The sets come with a crackle polish (red) a normal polish (silver) and a clear topcoat.
It costs 4 euro's and you get 3 nail polishes, and the quality of the polishes are pretty good.
Another option is Stargazer 232.
This would be great if you are going to dress up as a witch or something like that.

Saffron, 2 coats.

Is a silver to bold for you?
Try a grey polish.
These 2 are similair but Gosh Miss Grey (left one) is darker than the right one.
The right one is Chine Glaze Recycle.
Both are cream polishes.

China Glaze Recycle, 2 coats.

Gosh Miss Grey, 2 coats.

This polish was limited edition.
It is Essence Grand-PliƩ In Black.
It is a cream black with orange glitter.
I bought it because I thought it looked like China Glaze Fortune Teller.
But it still is different
If you have that, that would be also a great halloween nail polish.
This also looks great if you put a matt topcoat over it.

Essence Grand-PliƩ In Black, 2 coats.

A true black a bit to harsh on you?
Try this color.
It is Catrice Captain Sparrow's Boat.
I've done a post with this. It was a stamping Saturday.
But it is (as the name would suggest) a pearl black.
It is lighter than a cream black but still is dark and gives a black look.

Catrice Captain Sparrow's Boat, 2 coats.

This color would be good if you don't want to wear a cream black because it's to flat.
This is a black with purple, pink and green shimmer.
It looks a lot more girlie than a cream black nail polish.
The polish is Catrice I Wear My Sunglasses At Night.


Catrice I Wear My Sunglasses At Night, 2 coats.

A classic nail polish!
You can never go wrong with a cream black.
It will fit a lot of costumes. Again if you don't want to wear a cream black yhou could wear one of the other polishes that I've showed.
I love this brand, it is the best black that I can buy in a drugstore.
The color is Paris Memories 236.

Last color.
Orly Space Cadet.
I don't use this polish a lot because it is a color that is difficult to match with another color.
The only color that shows good over the polish is white but that doesn't look good.
But I like to use this color if I haven't got a lot of time to do my nails.
It is a pretty color.
I can't describe the color but it is so unique.

Orly Space Cadet, 3 coats.

I also have 3 topcoats to suggest to you.
To spice up you nailpolish.
The first one is China Glaze Wireless Topcoat, which looks good over dark colors.
Barry M Black Crackle, it will be a a good time to layer it over an orange or any other color.
And the last one is a no-brainer, it is China Glaze Ghoulish Glow.
It is a glow in the dark top coat.

I hope this helped you.
