Halloween is coming up!

So yeah my last mani didn't last for a two days before it chipped so because I don't know when I'll have time before Halloween so I did them now. I'm going to be a Queen and this looks like the corset on it.

Finally did my nails for the first time in a week

Yup you read that right I had on my previous mani for one week. I went mad having it on that long.
Anyways here is my current mani using my two polishes from my Julep Maven box (use my referral link in the side bar) from the start of this month. This uses Valerie a green polish with shimmer in it and Cleopatra a black polish with a latex finish, dries matte with a rubbery finish. I topped it off with Julep's Freedom Polymer Topcoat.
Overall I wasn't 100% impressed with Cleopatra it doesn't give even coverage and there really wasn't anything too special about it. Give it a try if you want but knowing what I do now I wouldn't have bought it initially.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Nails

This year my first niece/nephew would have turned 8. I often find myself wondering who they would be today, who they would have turned out to be. I was only 12 when my now sister-in-law miscarried that sweet angel. While I'm incredibly glad to have my four nieces and nephews that I do, I do wish I could have held them in my arms. Anyways here are my nails.

Halloween Nails

So it's now a little way into October so I have decided to do my first set of Halloween nails. All I can say is I still have time left to get good nails.

Two more colours, well three technically

So while I try to compile a picture of all my nails from the 31 Day Challenge here is two pictures of more nails. Like always, what else would you expect of a nail blog?

This is The Colour to Watch by OPI. I must say while I love OPI (it was after all my first big name nail polish purchase) I have to say that I'm not too into this colour and while that may be all my fault, I'm just not digging it very much.

Here is my current mani, which might change before my date tonight. It is Faye from Zoya and Aquamarine from Zombie Darlings, while I think this colour is discontined I believe that you should go check her polishes out. She is the first Indies I owned and her product has never ceased to amaze me (note I don't own but two of her polishes but seeing swatches and viewing her store I am in love and wish I had more money to get some.)

Stay beautiful and polished!

Last of 31 Day Challenge

So here is the last of my nails from the 31 Day Challenge. I had so much fun doing these and I am so proud that I was able to finish it all. I am so sorry that I didn't get these up sooner I'm still trying to learn how to work the app on my phone as I would like for them to post.

I have no clue why my skin looks so awkward here but alas here are my Day 22-Inspired by a Song. This is inspired by "Called you Twice" By The Icarus Account. Give it a listen, I absolutely love it. Well every song that they have actually.

Okay and the Lyrics to "Called you Twice" by The Icarus Account.
We traced an outline in the stars
A portrait of our hearts
Let's go back to the start

Called you twice today feelings haven't changeThought by now I would've fallen out of love with you
Called you twice in case you still feel the same
Thought by now you would've fallen back in love with me
No don't go don't go you're all I know I know
You are my anchor of hope

I walk past 4th and 17th
The place we used to meet

Day 29-Inspired by the Supernatural. These are inspired by vampires and how they wear dark colours and are typically sexy (well females at least, note I am going off of typical vampires) and wear corsets.

Day 30-Inspired by a tutorial. I tried to recreate a plaid mani, tried and failed.

Day 31-Honour nails you <3, while cold

Day 31-Honour nails you <3, while warm

Day 31-Honour nails you <3 with the beauties that inspired my nails.
