CG 'Flying Dragon' and SC 'Frenzy'

Hello there,
This is a simple post where I was trying to bring out the blue shimmer in CG's Flying Dragon. I love this polish and it looks amazing in the bottle; once it's applied the blue shimmer just disappears. That's why I added a generous coat of Sinful Colors Frenzy, which is a purple and blue glitter. To go with the flow of Flying Dragon drying matter, I topped my manicure with NYC Matte me Crazy.
xoxo,
Carol

Halloween Nail Art Challenge: Candy Corn

I have to make one confession; I am not a fan of candy corn. I do not know why; the texture, the taste... It is just not my cup of tea. However, I love the bright colors in it. I was inspired to do a watermable - oh, yeah, I suck at watermarbles!. It was sort of a failed attempt and it was really gloomy outside when I tried to take the pictures... Here is my best attempt:

Halloween Nail Art Challenge: Spiderweb

I don't have a spiderweb stamp and I wasn't going to kill myself with some free handed webs... Haha, I started looking at my stamping plates and I saw BM216, it is a tip stamp, but I used it upside down and I love the outcome. I started with Santee Perfect Silver and I sponged some Kleancolor White to make it look dusty. I added a layer of WnW Hallucination and stamped with WnW Black Creme.

Week 40: Animal Print Manicure

If there is something I love for nails is animal print. I had not tried the snakeskin print on plate BM215 so I decided to create a colorful background with some Insta-Dris (Lightening, Blue Bye!, Rapid Red, Presto Pink, Lickety-Split Lime) and added the stamp.
 
 

I did the same thin on my right hand but then I decided to use the zebra print instead of snakeskin. I really loved this version :) Sorry about the last 2 pictures, they are not the best!

Halloween Nail Art Challenge: Blood

I have seen many bloggers doing a blood dripping nail design, but I had never had the chance to try it. I did the blood splattering design for today. I used a straw dipped in polish and blowing on it. It was not as messy as I thought it would be. I got many compliments for these nails and people were asking me if I had paid to get them done. The only thing that came to mind was "Good job, Carol" :)
I used Wet n Wild Sugar Coat as a background and Freshcover 369 for the splatter.
