Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! My Halloween Series turned out to be a FAIL. I actually did have about 5 posts planned out but it really did not work out and time was not on my side!

The above manicure was done using China Glaze Zombie Zest on the pinky and thumb, China Glaze Ick-a-bod-y on the index and ring fingers. The sunlight made Zombie Zest look super gross on my pinky nail in these pics but you can see the actual color on the thumb nail in the second picture. I striped both China Glaze polishes over Wet n Wild Black Creme on the middle finger.

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend because I sure did! Have a safe Halloween everyone.

Halloween Series: Quick and Simple Flames



Hey guys! I have decided to run a mini Halloween series. Today, I have a nail art idea. I used CND Eclectic Purple as a base. I painted on "flames" using Color Club Koo-Koo Cachoo and China Glaze Ick-a-bod-y.

This would also look cool with a red background (for a "Hell" theme") but I think the purple looks great! This is a veryyy simple mani to do if you run out of time while getting your costume together!

Bath and Body Works Halloween PocketBacs

From Left to Right: Skulls Forbidden Apple, Sour Drop, Phantom Pumpkin, Bones Monster Mint, Chocolate Chew, Zombie Tonic Marshmallow, Bat Bite Apple, Vampire Blood Plum

Here is the final part of my Bath and Body Works haul from a few days ago. The Halloween PocketBacs were 8 for $5 (usually 5 for $5)!

I love Halloween and the design and scents of these PocketBacs are so cool! For a closer look, just click on the picture above.


Skulls Forbidden Apple actually smells like a red apple. Most apple scents are usually green apples, if I am not mistaken.

Sour Drop smells exactly like your typical sour candy: Fun Dip, Sour Drops, WarHeads, etc.

Phantom Pumpkin smells like the Creamy Pumpkin candle I posted about here. It is a light, sweet bakery scent.

Bones Monster Mint smells like a vanilla mint.

Chocolate Chew smells EXACTLY like a chocolate chew that may or may not have a fruit filling. Like when you bite into one hoping it is only chocolate and then find out it is cherry filled. LOL

Zombie Tonic Marshmallow smells just like the Marshmallow Fireside candle I posted about here.

Bat Bite Apple has the typical green apple scent.

Vampire Blood Plum smells lightly fruity but more of a perfume scent.


My favorite out of the 8 would have to be Phantom Pumpkin. If you have any of these, let me know which is your favorite. If you don't, which are you most interested in trying out?

SIMPLE HALLOWEEN DESIGN

 China Glaze Zombie Zest- This polish is wonderful. Application is great and is opaque with two coats but I believe I put three just to be safe. This polish is green with gold sparkles yet at some angles the sparkles appear to be emerald green.

After a failed marbling halloween design, I decided to start fresh and just do a simple design.

Base: Seche Vite Crystal Clear Base Coat
Base Color: China Glaze Zombie Zest
Pumpkin: Color Club Koo-Koo CaChoo, outlined with China Glaze Ick-a-bod-y, "carvings" in Sally Hansen  Black Out
Top: Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
