This is Halloween..

Hey guys! This is a somewhat old- but very holiday appropriate mani. My NOTD is for my costume- I'm Katniss Everdeen at work at at night Snufflepagus for a group Sesame Street costume! My NOTD (no pic) is Orly Buried Alive with Essie Shine of the Times! 

This mani is Brash Nail Polish from Payless Shoe Source in Sargent Khaki. I really liked this polish. I also got another Brash one, a green creme, that I now can't wait to try. 

Over it I layered two coast of Hit Polish's Halloween! This is a great glitter for the holiday. Sadly, Rachel is all out for this year, but I believe she'll bring it back next year! Certainly glad I got a bottle.

Fairy Dust Mani!

This was a mani I did a couple weeks ago. It's Orly Royal Navy w/ China Glaze Fairy Dust. I recently got Fairy Dust from a big Sally's haul I did when I was in Phoenix. I love it! It looks like it'll be a really versatile polish, that I can add to basically any color to jazz it up. 

More Fingerpaints & Hit Polish!

Hello all! This is a mani I wanted to share from last week. 

It was done with another Fingerpaints creme- Pop Art Purple. I've been lemming this one awhile, I just love the bright and neon purple color. 

I layered over it Hit Polish's Sunset Beach. This was two coats of the glitter. Before when I used her glitter I thought the coat was a bit thin, so I did more here. Rachel from Hit Polish has been making lots of changes recently. She used to have just tons of duifferent mini polishes. She's recently decided to keep a core line of colors plus some special seasonal ones, like fall, halloween, winter, etc. Though I love the larger selection she had of glitters, I understand that it's probably too stressful and crazy to have that many different minis. 

I'm glad I snatched up a couple color combos that she'll be retiring. If you want to check out her shop, click HERE. Looks like now she's also only opening at certain times, but when she is open, it's pretty easy to get your hands on her polishes. 

I know I'm going to get at least a few in the new Winter collex! 

Hot Topic Beautiful Revenge

So I went to the mall the other day- in hopes of finding OPI at the JC Penny there. Sadly, no nail polish at all there! So I went into the mall proper to take a look at what they had there. I remembered having heard about the Hot Topic polishes on Makeup Alley, so I decided to check them out. 

After minutes and minutes of pondering, I picked Beautiful Revenge. It's a gorgeous dark red vampy jelly with bright red glitter. To be honest, it reminded be a bit of blood. I thought it was prefect for Halloween!! 

This is three coats of Beautiful Revenge with top coat- Seche Vite! 

I apologize for the horrible photos. I'm trying to get better! I leave the house before the sunrise and come back typically post sunset, so I have to use flash inside! The first two are definitely more representative of the color. So beautiful! 

Northern Arizona University Mani!

So, I live in Flagstaff, AZ, which is a small town with a state school in it- Northern Arizona University, or NAU. The NAU colors are (apparently) blue and gold. I didn't remember this when I did this mani last weekend. 

I went to the Flag library- only to have the librarian make a comment on what a proud NAU student I was! I was so embarrassed because I try my hardest not to look like a student any more, and of course, hadn't done the mani on purpose. 

It was a fun color combo anyways! 

Blue- Sally Hansen Pacific Blue

Gold- Milani Gold Glitz
