Friendly Ghost Halloween Nail Art

Allo polish Pals!

Happy mid week to you all, how are you doing? Today I'll be out helping with house work at Mr Bravo's Grandmother's house - if you read my blog often you'll know that this means when I get home I will be stuffed full of yummy food and be absolutely useless for the rest of the evening!

Its time to pull out some Halloween nail art! I told you I had some, I just can't bring myself to post spooky related things for the entire month but I'll have a couple more to show you after this and they get more... disturbing, I guess. This is just the obligatory cutesy nail art to get started!

Don't forget to enter both my international giveaways - time is running out! There's only three days left to enter to win a $15 Born Pretty Store voucher;  And 1 week left to win a nail art set including acrylic paints and 5 stamping plates + more.

This manicure began with two coats of Barry M's 'Black' followed on top with Opi's 'Snowflakes In The Air'. I then totally turned that around and made it look pretty interesting with Klean Color's 'Black Chunky Holo' glitter which added such an unusual tint on top of all the other glitter – I like it! It reminds me of a 'bokeh' effect.

I then added some little ghosties with my white acrylic paint and my trust Bamboo brush. - I tested out a new top coat on top of the acrylics.. I did not like the effect it had on the acrylics.

What do you think of this bizarre glitter combination? Are you wearing any Halloween nail art this month?

Have a great day!

Witches Brew ~ A Bewitching Layering

Allo polish Pals!

How are you today? I can't believe how warm it is here in Holland, almost 20 degrees in March. The sun is shining and the birds are singing. It's quite a beautiful day! What's your weather like at the moment where you are? Today I have just a quick post to show you featuring a polish I have hardly used as I never know what to pair it with; It's not quite a swatch but I don't consider it 'nail art' either but none the less I thought it would be great to see what you all think of this... It makes me think of a witches brew!

I'm wearing two coats of Model's Own's 'Amethyst' and decided to layer glitter over the top.

I opted for Klean Color’s 'Chunky Holo Black'. While the glitter its self is not so much holographic as duo chrome I thought it made a really interesting combination with the purple base. Since Chunky Holo's base is a very sheer black you could still see the sparkle from 'Amethyst'.

My only 'meh' about this is that the end result looked quite thick but I am really interested to see what you think of this layering combo.

What do you think of this manicure? Do you like the unusual mixture of colours or is it just too much for you? I was also debating about how to 'up' this into nail art but I couldn't bring myself to stamp a pattern because I didn't want to lose the amazing glitter colours.

Have a beautiful day!

Lets do Coffee Sometime?

Allo polish Pals and Happy Saturday to you all!

Are you having a lovely weekend? Bare with me, I'm still half asleep ~ I'm pre-coffee wake up mode! I have a question for you, yup you! Are you a coffee or tea person? I recently broke my old coffee habit since moving to Holland. Its my guilty pleasure. That said the latest discovery I've come across is Lipton's Blueberry muffin tea and omg it smells just like freshly baked muffins ~Yum!

So today's manicure is coffee based! I used a technique I saw recently to make the coffee mug into a decal. I had some trouble with it I wont lie. You can see the edge of the decal but over all I think its an ok first attempt!

On all fingers apart from my ring finger I used Klean Color's 'Coffee addict' and added some bronzey brown gems. On my ring finger I used Color Club's 'Normadic In Nude' and then applied my decal. For the decal I used Kiss's nail art pens and a small nail brush to paint the black outline. I then flipped it over and filled the white in with Nubar's 'White Tip'. I then added a dash more of Coffee Addict to the inside of the mug and added some white steam.

What do you think about today's manicure? Has it got you reaching for a coffee?

Have a fantastic Saturday, loves!

An Interesting Brew With Klean Color

Allo polish Pals!

I hope the weekend has been kind to you all? Apologises for my absence the last few days. I've had a pretty crummy cold as well as trying to juggle a few things! Hopefully it'll be back to normal around here. I've got a few new things to show you in the next few days. Lots of swatches and reviews and some experimental things I want to try.

Today I am showing you a look I created with Klean Color 'Chucky Holo Black'. I have the mini collection to show you too in the upcoming days.
