Halloween Happy Pumpkin Manicure

Posted on October 24, 2016 by admin

My youngest kid wanted a Halloween manicure. The request was for a gray background and orange happy pumpkins.

Products used:
Essence Colour & Go – Grey-t To Be Here
Sally Hansen – Lightening
B.M.C. – Teepee Tipping
Bundle Monster – BM-H06

I started off by choosing a pumpkin image that would fit my kid’s nail. I found a cute pumpkin on plate BM-H06. I made decals of the pumpkin using Teepee Tipping to get the orange and for the yellow color to mouth and eyes, Lightening.

Once I had a set of decals made, I got the nails ready with base coat and one coat of Gey-t To Be Here. Waited for the polish to dry and then applied the pumpkin decals and sealed with Seche Vite.

So there you have it, Halloween happy pumpkin manicure makes for one happy kid.

Target Trick or Treat Candy Loot Scoop Kitty Cat and Pumpkin

Posted on October 18, 2016 by admin

Last year Target came out with Trick or Treat Candy Loot Scoop which is a cool twist on a Halloween candy bag. The Target website description “Loot Scoop is great for trick or treaters of all ages but is easiest to carry for the younger kids. The fabric bag is sturdy and printed with Target’s exclusive Halloween design”. The cost is $5.

The Loot Scoops were hard to find in stores last year but I managed to get the Pumpkin. Pumpkin is an orange monster hand with a pumpkin design on the bag. It certainly was easier for my kid to carry. It was stuffed to overflowing and we didn’t experience any tears in the fabric.

People got a good laugh when dropping candies into the hand.

As you can imagine I was on the lookout this year to get my hands on another Loot Scoop for the kids. Being that I am a nail polish enthusiast, I was excited when my youngest kid found the Kitty Cat. Kitty Cat is women’s hand with a pink ring and glitter nail polish and a cat design on the bag. Love it!

It makes a great addition as a costume prop. I’m trying to convince my oldest kid to let me paint the nails on the orange monster hand with some glitter polish, perhaps green.

According to the Target website they have come out with a Skeleton, Disney Princess, Kylo Ren version. They also revamped the Pumpkin which now has a black bag.

Beauty Tips for Women: Starrily – Candy Shop Halloween Manicure

Posted on October 24, 2013 by admin

I wanted to share a Halloween manicure I did using Starrily Candy Shop. I let the name and colors influence how this Halloween manicure would turn out.

Candy Shop is a clear base glitter polish loaded with hearts, stripes, dots, hexagons, and neons. I’m sure I missed a shape since it is super packed with a variety of glitter shapes. As you can see the glitter colors pop and it’s just a super fun polish.
I started off by painting my nails with some of the colors found in Candy Shop. I used Sally Hansen Just In Lime! on my thumb, Sally Hansen Fast Fuchsia on my index finger, Sally Hansen Brisk Blue on my middle finger, Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris on my ring finger, and Sally Hansen Rapid Red on my pinky. I did two coats of each and totally forgot to take a picture of this step. The stamping plates I used are from Bundle Monster BM-305 and BM-H07. To stamp the images I used Konad black polish.
My ringer finger got the full coverage of Candy Shop and it only took one coat. It applied like a dream and since the polish is so packed with glitter you don’t have to fish around to get any of the large pieces. I simply love how Candy Shop looks over black. After stamping everything I applied Poshe top coat.
