The Graveyard After All This Time...

Friday, October 25, 2013
Today I would like to show you a fun Halloween themed manicure. I got this beautiful gray polish for review along with the 365 Days of Color Horcrux collection last month. I set it aside at the time because it was not part of the collection and it somehow managed to hide from me until now. I'm so glad that I finally saw this little one hiding among all the big polish bottles which clutter my table. It is appropriately named 'After All This Time?' as though to mock me in the fact that I took so long to play with it. It is absolutely perfect for a spooky graveyard manicure that even glows in the dark...


To create this manicure I used a base of 365 Days of Color After All This Time?. Swatches of this beauty are further down in this post. I stamped various images from Bundle Monster plates BM-413 and BM-H08 and Winstonia plate W116. For stamping I used Essence Stamp Me! Black stampy polish....


How fun is that skeleton peeking out from behind the gravestone?



Oh and did I mention that it GLOWS in the dark? That's right, it doesn't just glow in the dark! It GLOWS in the dark!...



After All This Time? is a dove gray jelly loaded with silver and holo glitter. There is definitely a lot more holo glitter than what my camera could capture. This beauty sparkles. It is fairly sheer and took four coats to build up to good coverage. I think next time I will try it over gray undies, but for my first swatches I wanted to show the color by itself. The formula is very nice, no streaking and great glitter distribution. Swatches are with a top coat...



Just look at this glow! It is the brightest glow in the dark polish that I have ever tried! Unlike others I've tried, this one is also most certainly not camera shy!

Pipe Dream Polish The Night's Magic...

Thursday, October 3, 2013
I set out last night to swatch the gorgeous Pipe Dream Polish lacquer The Night's Magic. It wasn't long before the name and the color captured my imagination leading to my first Halloween manicure of the year. I just love this season and the manicures it has in store. Do you believe in magic? The Night's Magic?...


For this manicure I started out with a base of Pipe Dream Polish The Night's Magic. Using acrylic paint I added the yellow moon. The paint was not quite opaque enough to provide full coverage so around the third coat of it I gave up and decided to just dab it on instead. I ended up with a textured look which I love more than what I had originally planned....


I stamped the witch and bats from Winstonia plate W116 using Essence Stamp Me! Black...



The Night's Magic is a mix of purple, teal, holographic plus more glitter in a gray tinted base. It is absolutely gorgeous! I layered two coats of The Night's Magic over black. It applies easily and each brushstroke is loaded with glitter which distributes evenly over the nail. Swatches are with a top coat...




Just look at this beauty! I love it...
