ninja polish - spooky floam

this is 3 coats of ninja polish - spooky floam on its own, i did a manicure of it over cult nails nevermore here.

i tried i don't know how many times last night to get it glowing in the dark both with my cell phone and my regular camera, i just couldn't capture it.  there is a picture of it glowing along with comparisons of other glow in the dark polishes on their page.

the glow on this in the dark is crazy bright.

i have a coat of gelous and 1 coat of seche vite over this.  also bought qtica nail growth stimulator yesterday when i went to ulta.  i've read good reviews about it and decided to go for it.  1 coat and my nails do feel much stronger than what they normally do.

also picked up a 'scrubby tub' from target.  won't lie...the 'fingers' inside of that thing scare me...looks like a sea urchin...but since i stopped using the glue method on my nails, i figured why not give this thing a go instead of scrubbing or waiting like 10 minutes for the glitter to come off with the foil method. 

anyhow, here's spooky floam...i love matte glitter so much.

ninja polish - spooky floam over nevermore

 very fast post tonight.  was only able to get 1 photo snapped off before my battery in the camera almost died.

this was purchased from ninja polish.  it's part of their halloween collection.  i did also pick up geeks which is a green glitter.  unfortunately the other 2 in the collection weren't really talkin' to me.

i used 1 coat of cult nails nevermore, 2 coats of spooky floam and 2 coats of seche vite.

i have the original floam as well as some other matte glitters purchased from etsy.  i love how they look, but have yet to get through them all. 

this polish also does glow in the dark.

when i re-do this manicure with just spooky floam by itself tomorrow i'll try to get a picture of it glowing.

also, this is the first picture cropped through flickr.  i think it does look better cropped without so much dead background.

enchanted polish - beetle juice

extremely fast post today...i do want to sit down when i have time this next week and start cropping photos at the suggestion of another blogger, looks like i should be able to do that through flickr, so that should hopefully help with making my pictures look better...but i wanted to just get these up today :)  i haven't done a cleanup on it, but it's good enough for a quick post :)

this is the last of the falloween polishes, it's a gorgeous glitter.

this is 2 coats of fingerpaints - plum startled,  1 coat of beetle juice...it's crazy the amount i got out of 1 coat, a coat of gelous and a coat of seche vite.

plum startled was picked up at sally's.  beetle juice was purchased from llarowe.   i love llarowe's new site by the way.  she just launched a new version of it and it looks really professional.

also, i wanted to thank you guys for joining recently.  this is just a small blog, but i do appreciate having followers.

anyhow...this one may be my favorite out of the falloweens.

enchanted polish - lucy pumpkin gutz

so anyone who knows me knows that one of my babies is named lucy...so when i saw the name of the polish i used as my base i had to buy it.  plus it was enchanted polish...not like i needed another reason ;)


here's my lucy, this was from the first night i had her...look at that horrible manicure ;)

and one from when she was a bit older:

she seriously is a princess. 

anyhow,  onto the manicure...i used 2 thin coats of lucy in the sky with diamonds, 2 coats of pumpkin gutz, 1 coat of glitter food, 1 coat of gelous, and 1 coat of seche vite.

i love "lucy" on its own.  it applied perfectly.  no cleanup has been done...hell, they're still drying as i type this.

enchanted polish - finger lickin' good

here's another from the falloween collection...almost to the end ;)

this is over 2 coats of cult nails - deal with it.  it has a really pretty gold shimmer to it.  i also used 2 coats of finger lickin' good, 1 coat of glitter food, 1 coat of gelous, and  1 coat of seche vite.

shimmer shimmer

enchanted polish - igor

so i started out doing a manicure with this using china glaze's new 'cast a spell' from their wicked collection.  my seche vite must have been too thick because it never dried all the way and i messed up the manicure when i took a shower. 

it was pretty, but you couldn't see all of the tiny black glitter going on with igor that you can see with this combo.  i didn't get any white glitter out of the bottle, but that's fine.  i guess i need to flip the bottle an let it sit before i use this one again to let the white hexes sink to where i can grab them.

when i got home from work i decided to go ahead and re-do it.  i used butter london trustafarian as my base.  this is a slightly holo sage green color.  it's beautiful on its own.

igor...i love this.  then again, what enchanted polish don't i love?  it's another from the falloween collection.

i used 2 coats of trustafarian, 2 of igor, 1 coat of glitter food, 1 coat of gelous and 1 coat of seche vite...after i refilled my bottle >.<

this turned out glass-smooth.  love it.

i had to cut my nails way down.  after the one cracked a few weeks ago they've felt weird being slightly different lengths.  the ends were getting thin anyhow, so it was time for a trim.

all that glitters - horror business

here's another all that glitters polish from the boo-tique halloween collection.

this is 3 coats on its own.  no base color, but next time i grab this one i'm going to go with a bright green. and probably go with 2 coats of polish.

the consistency was a bit thick, but nothing that was unmanageable.  it's PACKED with glitter.  i love it.
