Beauty tip for Women: Halloween Nail Art 3

Posted on by

For my third Halloween nail art manicure I wanted to try out Frankenstein and the Bride of Frankenstein.  I have to say that the idea of doing freehand nail art scares me.  I’m simply not good at it and enjoy stamping better.  But I decided I wanted to challenge myself.  I also wanted to combine the mustache crazy in the manicure.  I love those mustaches.

Here is what I used to create what I call “Meet Mr. Frankenstache and his Bride”:

  • Sally Hansen – Parrot
  • Sally Hansen – Rapid Red
  • Wet n’ Wild – French White Crème
  • Milani Nail Art Precision Brush – Black & White
  • Nailene Stripe Fx – Silver
  • Sech Vite – Base Coat
  • Sech Vite – Dry Fast Top Coat
  • Dotting Tools
  • Claire’s mustache nail art stickers

I started off with two coats of Parrot on all my nails expect the ring finger.  On the ring finger I did two coats of French White Crème.  I then did an outline of their hair using the Milani Black and with this same black dotted in the hairline/bangs.  Used Milani Black to make the lips and eyes on the Bride. Using Rapid Red I gave her cheeks some color.  I used Milani White to make the white hair strand on her head and Nailene Silver for the other strand on her hair.  For Mr. Frankenstache I dotted the eyes with Milani White then Black.  Made the stitch marks using the Milani Black.  It is hard to tell but I did add some of the Nailene Silver to the sides to make the bolts.  I then added the mustaches.

 

Beauty tips for Women: Halloween Nail Art 2

Here is my second Halloween nail art manicure.  My girls have been going crazy asking for candy corn and I finally purchased some.  This was inspiration for my festive candy corn Halloween nail art manicure.

Here is a picture of the polishes I used for the manicure:

Konad Special Polish – Black
Seche Vite – Dry Fast Top Coat
Sally Hansen – Yellow Kitty
Sally Hansen – Parrot
Wet n’ Wild – Sunny Side
Wet n’ Wild – French White Crème
Essence – Wake Up
Color Club – Clear Coat

I started off by doing a gradient using the French White Crème, Sunny Side and Yellow Kitty.  I did three coats of the gradient because the yellow and orange colors where just two light and I wanted it a bit more richer in color.  Once I got the colors the way I wanted, I applied a clear coat to blend the colors.  I waited for it to dry then started applying random dots in Parrot, Wake Up, and French White Crème.  Once that dried up, I thought some stamping would be cute.  I used Bundle Monster – BM225 Skull image on the thumb.  The cat and witch used on the index and middle finger are from Shany – SH02.  The ring finger skull is Bundle Monster – BM211 and pinky finger is Bundle Monster – BM222.  Topped everything off with Sech Vite.

Beauty tips for Women: Shimmer Polish – Michelle

Posted on by

I would like to share a beauty product review of a beautiful polish I won from Shimmer Polish via her Facebook page.  The name of the polish is Michelle.  It is a gold shimmer with gold glitter and fine black glitter.  It changes colors so wonderfully I swear there is other glitter colors in there.

 

As soon as I got the polish I had to swatch it.  Unfortunately my index finger nail broke so it makes the whole manicure look off.  I opted to use a bottom coat of black on my index finger.  I’ve read that if you put a base color under glitter polishes you use less of the glitter polish so it will last you longer.  All of my nails except for the index finger have 3 coats.  I could have stopped at 2 coats because the coverage was wonderful but I’m greedy, I just loved the sparkly of it all and wanted more.  The index received 2 coats.

Shimmer Polish is $12 each and for custom, (yes, you read right, she does custom polishes) it is $15.  I’m in love with the beauty she sent me and I can’t recommend it enough.  So check her out on Facebook: Shimmer Polish and on Etsy by the same name.

I give Shimmer Polish 5 brains!
