Candy Corn Splatter!

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted much this week. I had a ton of school work that snuck up on me! I have another platter mani for you all today! Who doesn't love candy corn? I'm working on a tutorial post for this as well. I haven't done a tutorial post yet so it's taking me awhile to figure out how to photograph the steps. It's coming soon though! I think I have two or three more Halloween manis to accomplish. I hope you all like them! On to the candy corn!

So, just like any splatter mani you need your basic tools: a straw (cut into multiple pieces if you have multiple colors), a paper towel, tape or vaseline to protect around your fingers, your polish of choice, and q-tips for clean up. For this mani, I knew I wanted my base to be white so the yellow and orange would really pop! I used two coats of OPI- My Boyfriend Scales Wales. I love this white, it's amazing. For the yellow I used Maybelline- Fierce N Tangy, and the orange is Sinful Colors- Courtney Orange. I love that Courtney Orange has shimmer because it adds something extra to the mani. To create the splatter, literally all you do is dip the straw into the polish and blow it on to the nail. If you don't get as much splatter as you want, do it again. It's really simple, just messy! Make sure to wait about 10 minutes before you put your topcoat on or it will smear your splatter.

I always love the way splatter manis look in the end. It might be a bit time consuming and messy, but totally worth it!

Different Dimension- Hanna

Hi everyone! I hope your weekend has be well! Today I have a Different Dimensions polish to show you. This one is part of her Pretty Little Liars collection! I have a bit of an obsession with PLL so I had to pick it up! The one I picked is Hanna! I actually snatched it up in a $5 sale she was having and I'm so glad I did. It's just my kind of polish. You can find Different Dimensions over on Etsy. Her polishes are regularly $8.50 but watch out for another $5 sale!

Hanna was really the only one that stood out to me from the PLL collection. Although, I might pick up Emily next time she has a sale. Hanna is a sheer purple base with magenta, white and light blue mircoglitters. I find that is gives a simular finish to the Nails Inc Sprinkles Collection polishes. The glitters aren't as big, but you get the idea. The base was sheer enough to not make the polish super thick even after three coats. It does have great coverage and is just packed with glitter! It looked so feminine and sweet on. I'm really excited to try some more Different Dimension polishes! I actually wanted to put Hanna right back on when I took it off! The polish looks a bit patchy in the pictures but you couldn't tell in real life.

Do you have any recommendations for any Different Dimension polishes I should pick up? Who's excited for the Halloween episode, OMG!

Sinful Colors- Slate

Hi everyone! So I was ment to post my Top 5 Fall Polishes post for you all today. As soon as I posted it, I realized I have forgotten to swatch one of my all time favorite Fall polishes! So alas, you will see that post another day. Today, I'm going to show you all one of my absolute favorite Sinful Colors polishes, Slate! I know I tend to post a lot of Indie brands but I do own quite a bit of drugstore and salon brands to. This polish also happens to be a favorite for Fall.

So here we have Sinful Colors- Slate. Slate has to be one of my favorite gray polishes. It has a gorgeous subtle shimmer, and the base is a perfect medium gray. The shimmer can lean a bit blue, and even purple, in certain light. Gray is definitely my neutral color of choice. I just really like the color gray in general. Slate has great pigmentation, but if your not careful with application, brush stokes can be a bit of a problem. Such a great polish though, especially for $1.99! Gray can be such an understated color, but it looks quite beautiful on.

I think I'm going to start expanding my Sinful Colors collection. Are there any that you recommend?  I'm always impressed with the formula and wear of these polishes. I definitely need to get a few more!

Sonoma Nail Art- Sincerest Pumpkin Patch

Hi everyone! I have another Halloween polish for you all today! This time it's a brand I've had yet to try, Sonoma Nail Art. There have been a few polishes from Sonoma Nail Art that have caught my eye but I never purchased them. The second I saw Sincerest Pumpkin Patch I knew it had to be mine. It's a Halloween polish, it's green AND it's a glitter! What more could I ask for?! You can find Sonoma Nail Art polishes over on Etsy. They are a bit steep at $10 but so far I think it's worth it.

Sincerest Pumpkin Patch is pretty much the perfect halloween polish. It doesn't have a spooky color scheme but it's Fall inspired. I most definitely think of a pumpkin patch when I look at this polish. Sincerest Pumpkin Patch has the slightest green tinted base. There's a multitude of green glitter in a few shapes and colors with orange hexes in two sizes. I have it layered over two coats of Zoya- Shawn. Application was great. The glitter applied evenly and it wasn't at all thick. I really didn't even have to maneuver the larger orange hexes. This polish is just so cute! Not to mention, the labels are stinking adorable!

Are you guys on the Halloween polish bandwagon as much as I am? I seriously have to stop myself from buying almost every one I see, it's ridiculous! I have a few posts planned this week, including my top 5 Fall polishes. I think I may update my blog sale as well so keep an eye out for that!

Lyn B Designs Swatch and Review!

Hi everyone! I hope you all have been well! I want to congratulate Jen Tesauro again for winning my 300 Follower Giveaway! I hope you love for polishes, Jen! Today I have two polishes from Lyn B Designs to show you. Jenna, the creator behind Lyn B Designs, has a super neat Etsy shop so be sure to check it out. These polishes are $8.50 and are full size.

First up we have This Is Halloween from the "Nightmare Begins" collection! You know I can't pass up a Halloween polish! This Is Halloween really caught my eye because I think it's the prefect color for this time of year. The base is a shimmery maroon with a slight bronze duo chrome. There's also purple and orange glitters. I was afraid that the glitters weren't going to be that noticeable on the nail but they are! They are just the right size to give the polish depth. The purple glitter also apear to be holographic so it adds a little flash to the polish. This Is Halloween is a tiny bit thick but covers evenly in two coats. A top coat is definitely needed because it dies to a semi matte finish. It helps the glitters stand out more as well. I love the overall look of this polish. Very Fall and super vampy!

Then we have Baker Street Boys from the "Baker Street" collection. I love green and I LOVE glitter so this one was an obvious choice! I did two coats of Baker Street Boys over two coats OPI- Don't Talk Bach To Me. The base in BSB is  just slightly tinted green with green shimmer. There's a few types of glitter including black squares, silver holographic bars, as well as green and silver hexes. I wouldn't says this polish could be opaque but it does tint whatever polish you put it over. It's a little thick but the glitter applies evenly. I think it's definitely a cool polish.

What do you all think? There's one thing I want to add. These polish bottles have a very unique shape. The bottom is tiered and the top is quite tall. Compared to an OPI bottle, I want to say it's almost half an inch taller. It fits into my Melmer perfectly though! Have you purchased any polishes from Lyn B Designs before?
