Trick or Treat!

Trick or Treat!  Tonight is when all the ghosts and goblins are out trick or treating!  Or some; I guess we'll have to see how many actually go out this year.  I've bought for the same number as in preCovid days but will have to see how much I have left over.  

Started with a base of Painted Polish Mystery Crelly Douze with accent nails of OPI Black Onyx and OPI Orange You Stylish.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Bunny Nails HD-G (pinky), Sugar Bubbles SB037 (middle; had to shrink the images, then transfer to a clear stamper then shadow stamp it; didn't too badly as it was a bit of work to do this!), Delaney Halloween A001 (thumb), Clear Jelly Stamper CjS H-37 (thumb), UberChic UC Halloween 05 (ring) and Lina Spooklicious! 02 (index) using MdU 107, Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit and Midnight Mischief.

Paint It Pretty Polish Halloween Trio!

The Paint It Pretty Halloween Trio is available tomorrow, Friday, October 12, 2018 here! Each polish is beautiful in it's own way; there are lots of pictures in this post so grab your favourite pumpkin spice drink before you start reading as you'll want time to check out everything the trio has to offer!  Each of the three polishes are perfect for Halloween....or any time of the year if you buck tradition like I do!  I've also added some fun Halloween nail art throughout the post, hoping that it compliments each polish as Halloween is right around the corner!

The first polish of the trio that I'm sharing is Paint it Pretty Polish Flip My Witch Switch.

Paint It Pretty Polish Flip My Witch Switch has that gorgeous red/gold aurora shimmer in a navy base.  

Shown is two easy coats; there were no application or removal issues.  No staining of the nail or skin upon removal.

Bottle shot.

I thought some Halloween themed stamping would be appropriate; stamped images from Bunny Nails HD-G and Lina Spooklicious! 01 using MdU 16, taking care to pick images that would allow the beauty of the base to shine through!

Finished with a coat of My Indie Polish My Perfect Matte.

This is Paint it Pretty Polish Witch, Please.

 

Paint It Pretty Polish Witch, Please has blue/green/yellow chameleon flakies with purple microglitter in a black base.

There are a lot of flakies so this polish is just a tad thicker than the others.  I wanted to show a pix with no top coat to show that that even though there are a lot of flakies, they lay down nicely, although I prefer the gloss of a coat of top coat.  There were no application or removal issues.

For some spooky Halloween nail art, used images from HD-G (ring), Marianne nails n.115 (thumb), Delaney Halloween 005 (middle) and Marianne Nails n.131 (pinky and index).  Stamped using MdU 39 to pick up the green flakies and but also goes with the rest of the flakies and microglitter as well!

 Topped with one coat of My Indie Polish My Perfect Matte that really makes the flakies pop!

 The last polish in the Halloween trio is Paint It Pretty Polish Witch Better Have My Candy.
 

Bottle shot of Paint It Pretty Polish Witch Better Have My Candy.  Look at that shift!

 

Paint It Pretty Polish Witch Better Have My Candy is loaded with green, red, purple and blue chameleon glitters. Two coats was good coverage to opaque; there were no application or removal issues.

Wanting to compliment the beautiful glitters, did gradient stamping using MdU 49 and 15.  Used Lina Spooklicious! 01 (pinky), Marianne Nails n.115 (index), Delaney Halloween 006 (thumb), Marianne Nails n.131 (ring) and Marianne Nails n.117 (middle).  I also purposely picked images that allow the base colour to shine through.

Topped with a coat of My Indie Polish My Perfect Matte.  In hindsight and given that each polish has 'witch' in it, I have no idea why I didn't think to do some spooky witch nail art!  Thankfully there's time before Halloween lol!

NEW Crumpet Nail Tart Challenge: Blue and Silver

October 14th started the next round of the Crumpet challenge; things are a little different this time in that challenges are only every two weeks so hopefully I can participate in all them this time! Last challenge, I started out well but petered out towards the end so didn't do all the challenges but hope to do better this round! I'm not off to a very good start as, even though I had my nails done, I couldn't get the post up in time but here it is now!  I did two challenge nails at the same time; one on each hand which is why this is a rare showing of Ms. Cindy.  Here's what I came up with for the first challenge which is blue and silver!



Started with a base of two coats of Colors by llarowe Sparking Diamonds Stamping Polish.  I know this isn't your typical base polish but I was using it for another mani and it was handy!



Stamped using an image from Handy 20 with accent of Bunny Nails HD-G using Esmaltes da Kelly Allan then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.



Here's what I was wearing as I did two challenge nails; one on each hand!



Here's the other ladies blue and silver nails!

Digit-al Dozen Does Spooky Days; Day 5

Happy Halloween!  Tonight is the night for all the ghosts and goblins to go trick or treating; I thought I'd do a Halloween mani along those lines for Day 5 of Digit-al Dozen Spooky Days; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (white), FingerPaints Black Expressionism (black) and Sally Hansen Insta-dri Pumpkin Queen (orange).  Added topcoat.  No pix as all colours have been shown before and this post is going to be picture heavy as it is!

Stamped using assortment of images from MoYou Landscape Collection-06 (thumb), Lilic's A09 (middle ghost), Infinity 35 (middle mummy), HD-H (pinky and pumpkin on ring), HD-C (trick or treat on ring) and HD-G (index).  Stamping polishes used were Konad black and Mundoe de Unas 11 and 28.

Added a few bats and the moon from BFF 07 and did some touch ups on ring finger of the stamping on the trick or treat words (the words blobbed more than I'd like; not sure if its from deep etching or the Mundo polish smearing).

Added a few dots for filler and colour interest.

Top coated to finish.  I had thought about doing a black jelly wash over the thumb to mimic night time but didn't want to wreck it; I might try it before I take it off just to see how it looks.  But for now, this is how it is on my nails when the trick or treaters visit!

Here's the other Spooky Day 5 mani's!  As usual, the mani's have been fantastic all week!
