Halloween Spider Web Nail Art

Happy Halloween! I did my nails for the occasion as you can see with a simple spider web design I first saw on That Leanne. As soon as I saw it I knew this was what I was going to do for Halloween, it's so simple yet it looks great!

I started off with a base coat (Essie Feed Me) and then two coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Sun Kissed (orange). Next I used a Kiss nail art polish in white to do the background of the spider webs. Finally, I painted the black spider web outlines on with a paintbrush dipped in Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out. 

What do you think? I hope you all have a safe and happy Halloween! Thanks for reading!

OPI - Nicki Minaj - Preview

 

Pink Everyday!

OPI announces the launch of six new limited edition shades inspired by hip hop sensation Nicki Minaj, including a purple Shatter!  Inspired by Minaj’s unique style, love of bright colors, and her debut album Pink Friday, the Nicki Minaj by OPI promotion will feature an array of bold hues, from neon lime green to pink.

• Pink Friday: Kick off the weekend with this pop! of bubblegum pink.
• Metallic 4 Life: This charcoal sparkle flies with the stars in the skies.
• Save Me: I drove for miles just to find this silver-rainbow glitter.
• Fly: I came to win, to fight…and to wear this aqua.
• Did It On ‘Em: A lusty little lacquer that loves the “lime”-light.
• Super Bass Shatter: Purple shatter.

Nicki’s eclectic look made including a new hue in OPI’s bestselling Shatter coat a must for this collaboration. The purple Super Bass Shatter (a record-setting purple that “shatters” before your eyes) is inspired by graffiti art and works when painted over any dry OPI hue. Adding top coat takes Super Bass Shatter from matte to glossy in seconds.

“OPI is so excited to work with Nicki in releasing these six new nail lacquers,” said Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “Nicki has taken the hip hop world by storm, but her music is only part of the equation. She also become a fashion inspiration, noted for her daring costumes and hair color both on and off the stage.”

Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Night Glow

 Hello everybody! Today I've got a swatch of a cool polish that might come in handy for all of your spectacular Halloween manicures! Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Night glow is an awesome glow in the dark nail polish. What I like about it is that it can be worn alone or over top of another polish. I used three coats of Night Glow in these pictures.

Funky French Manicure & Pedicure

Hello all! Tonight is officially the first night of my four day weekend! For those of you who don't know, Canada's Thanksgiving takes place in October. This year it's on the tenth which means Friday and Monday there is no school! Woohoo! The weekend is off to a sort of dreary start with tons of hail here in town and snow, yes, I said snow, (in October!?!?) out in the rural areas of the county.

Anyway, here's the last manicure I did. It's a simple funky french manicure with white tips and a bit of silver glitter.

 

  

I really like this look. It's simple and elegant without being boring. To do this I used one coat of Essie Feed Me followed by one coat of China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat. I then free-handed the white tips with a Kiss nail striper in white then added the glitter with a L.A. Colors Art Deco nail striper in silver glitter and finished the manicure with a coat of Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat. 

If you know me, you know that the polish on my finger nails and the polish on my toe nails never matches. However, I re-created this look on my toes to match my fingers.

OPI We'll Always Have Paris

Hello! I've got another swatch to share with you all today. This is OPI We'll Always Have Paris from the fall 2008 collection. We'll Always Have Paris is a deep, vampy plum creme. I love this polish, it's so shiny and I think it's perfect for fall. As soon as I put it on it was added to my list of all time favorite polishes! Anyway, here's a photo of We'll Always have Paris in direct sun light. It can appear to be almost black when there's not a lot of light available though mind you.
