Falling for Nail Art: Halloween

    Boo! It's time for Halloween. It all leads up to the 31st and then it's gone. Halloween being on a Thursday this year completely threw me off. Most people celebrated last weekend, but I was at work for a special event sale. I missed out on a few costume parties so I was pretty bummed. To make matters worse, I'll be at work tomorrow night instead of passing out candy to all the cuties. Boo.

   For a quick and easy Halloween look, check out all the info after the jump.

Zoya Zenith Collection

Press Sample

    I'm really excited to share the Zoya Zenith Collection today! As you can see, I swatched these last week before the terrible mishap that caused me to file down all my nails. This collection is pretty versatile and doesn't scream winter to me; these shades will easily work year round. I have lots of good stuff to share after the cut so don't miss you!

Falling for Nail Art: Other Realm

     I'm cheating on my challenge. I had a really rough weekend at work. (You'll see why after I show off my green Halloween nails.) I'm beat and couldn't put a lot of effort into my nails. I wanted to do a purple to black holo gradient with some witches. Sounds awesome, huh? Well, that's not what you're going to see today. Sorry, folks! I'm a failure. 

     Here's what I did have the time/strength/inspiration to do tonight. Filing down your nails as much as I had to really takes a toll on your hands. I can't wait for them to grow out again.

Glam Polish - Pacman and Candyland

Press Sample

    Glam Polish is an Australian indie polish available from US stockist Color4Nails. These are my first from the brand and I'm really excited to share them with all of you! Pacman and Candyland are part of the Fun & Game collection. These bright polishes are just what I needed after dreary October weather. It's been cold and rainy for over a week. This was just the pick me up I needed! For lots of pictures, check out the review under the cut.

Celestial Cosmetics - Jaqen H'ghar and Sapphires of Tarth

Product sent for review.

     This is my last post for the Celestial Cosmetics and Color4Nails collaboration of the Seven Kingdoms collection. I wanted this to be my first one, but I had a terrible time trying to capture how beautiful these polishes really are. For some reason, duochromes are really hard to photograph. 

     If you didn't already know, Celestial Cosmetics, an Australian indie, has teamed up with Color4Nails for the Seven Kingdoms collection. This collection is inspired by Game of Thrones and contains duochromes, holographics, and thermals. 

Falling for Nail Art: Bump In The Night

     I did my Bump In The Night nails two nights ago and almost posted them early because I'm so in love with them! For this look, I decided to go with a mixed manicure including a texture, some stamping, a little glitter, and nail gem. It's perfect for Halloween, or any time if you really like bats! You could most definitely change this up to suit your own style.

Check out all the details after the cut! You don't want to miss out on this one.

Falling for Nail Art: Creepy Crawlers

      I don't know about you, but I loved making Creeper Crawlers when I was a child. My dad and I were all about it. I can't tell you how many times I burned myself on that stupid oven. Get me near a real bug and I'll freak out! Today's look is a little subdued. I did some simple nail art with a Bundle Monster stamping plate. Check out all the details after the cut.

Falling for Nail Art: Sweet Treats

       Good morning, ghouls! Halloween is just around the corner. I absolutely love the holiday. I picked Sweet Treats as the inspiration for challenge because of all the great candies, cookies, and whatnot this time of year. I decided to do one of my favorite treats: CUPCAKES! I'm always baking something in my apple green Kitchen Aid mixer named Sir Mix-A-Lot. (Lame name, huh?)

Check out all the details after the cut!

Celestial Cosmetics - Jelly Thermal Polish

Product sent for review.

    Celestial Cosmetics, an Australian indie, has teamed up with Color4Nails for the Seven Kingdoms collection. There are nine polishes in total and I'll be sharing five of them with you over the next few posts. 

      The Seven Kingdoms collection is inspired by Game of Thrones and contains duochromes, holographics, and thermals. This is the 2nd of three posts. For this post, I'll be sharing two of the jelly thermals: High Garden and A Lannister Always Pays His Debt. If you like these, they're currently available for purchase so don't delay!  Check out all the details after the cut.

Falling for Nail Art: Cloudy Skies

      I'm trying to catch up on the nail art challenge. I absolutely hate that I'm behind, but life gets in the way. The weather here has been really gloomy. Imagine that! Cloudy skies, lots of rain, and cooler temperatures. It really gets you down. There's a cure for that, though! Great nail art.

      This look features two of my favorite Zoya polishes: London and Trixie. For all the details and whatnot, click the Read More link below!

      Celestial Cosmetics, an Australian indie, has teamed up with Color4Nails for the Seven Kingdoms collection. There are nine polishes in total and I'll be sharing five of them with you over the next few posts. 

      The Seven Kingdoms collection is inspired by Game of Thrones and contains duochromes, holographics, and thermals.

This post is full of surprises and you don't want to miss out on all of it after the cut.

Falling for Nail Art: Great Pumpkin

      Pumpkins. Pumpkins everywhere. This time of year is my favorite. It's finally getting cold outside, and I can start wearing my favorite chunky sweaters and dresses with tights. My house smells delicious thanks of the insane amount of pumpkin candles I have everywhere. I've already made my almost famous spicy pumpkin soup twice. I even bought pumpkin costumes for the cats. (You can check my Instagram for pictures.) Needless to say, I'm obsessed with pumpkins. This challenge was a breeze. 

     For all the information, check out the rest under the cut...

Falling for Nail Art: Sweater Weather

        I'm back to the nail art challenge! My cold is still going strong, but I had polish my nails last night. I didn't have a lot of time and needed something fairly easy. I decided to go with some stamping. I'm sure I would have had more inspiration if it were actually sweater weather here. This weekend has been in the 80s. This is Pittsburgh! It should not be 80 degrees in October.

      This picture isn't very good, but there are better ones after the jump.

Penelope Luz - Belly Dance and Modern Art

Press Sample

         Hey, babes! Sorry for the lack of posts. First, I was busy with work and dealing with a sick boyfriend. Then, I got a cold. I've been in bed for the past few days. With naked nails! I know, I know. I actually did my nails for tomorrow's nail art challenge and I can't wait to share them. I was clearing out pictures on my laptop when I came across these two Penelope Luz polishes. I can't believe I forgot them!

         Penelope Luz is a 3 free Brazilian indie polish. I've been eying up a few of her polishes, but never bought them because they weren't readily available in the US. Until now! Color4Nails makes indie shopping so much easier.
