Hello there!
For today's manicure I chose to do Dracula :)
I also submitted this manicure to Jordana Cosmetics Halloween Contest and I am crossing my fingers!
Alright, so now on to the polishes I used, the base is Sally Hansen Salon Complete in Lavender Cloud, the red and black are Jordana's Holiday Red and Black respectively.
I hope you like it!

Halloween Nail Art Challenge: Mummy

Here are my mummies using the stamp from BM209 :) I think they look nothing but scared! I had fun doing them and I like how the bandages look.

Halloween Nail Art Challenge: Ghosts

Boo!
Here is my failed water marble and stamping combo. My water marble was not as bad, I used Wet n Wild 9021Orange and Buffy the Violet Slayer. Then I had the brilliant idea of stamping ghosts from BM which disappeared into the marble...  I guess it sort of works, my ghosts are semi-transparent. Better luck next time for me ;)

Wet n Wild Megalast 'Wet Cement'

Does anyone else here LOVE free nail polish?
Let me tell you that a few months ago, I checked out Wet n Wild's Facebook page and they do giveaways on certain days. I was the winner and they kindly sent me a free nail polish. I got Wet Cement and I think it's gorgeous. Funny story is that they previous day I had gone to my local CVS and I was SO close to purchasing it :)
My recommendation: Like WnW's page and keep your eyes open for their freebies!
A alguien aquí le gustan los esmaltes gratis?
Hace unos meses visité la página de Wet n Wild en Facebook y me enteré que ciertos días llevan a cabo sorteos de sus productos. Uno de esos días salí ganadora y me enviaron Wet Cement el cual me encanta. Lo gracioso es que el día antes estuve a puntísimo de comprarlo.
Mi recomendación: Visiten la página de WnW y manténganse al pendiente de los regalitos!

Halloween Nail Art Challenge: Spiders (Week 43: Spider Web Manicure)

I was sort of dreading this manicure; one, because I do not have a spider stamp and I am not that skilled with brushes and acrylic paints and two, I am not a fan of spiders. I took a chance and did a spider that kind of looks like a crab, haha, and I ventured on doing a spider web. My manicure did not come out too bad, I think; I used Club Havana by WnW Megalast as a base, I sponged some black polish on the tips. I did both the spider and web with black acrylic paint. Lastly, I added some odd colored glitter, a blue-green duochromish glitter - Sinful Colors in Pearl Harbor.

Week 42: "Pink 4 Breast Cancer Awareness" Manicure

Hey :)
As you may know, October is breast cancer awareness month. As women, one of our responsibilities is to get yearly breast check ups because prevention is key for cancer treatment. Here is my pink manicure:
I used two coats of Candylicious by WnW. I stamped the whole nail design from plate BM201 using Konad White. The heart is from SE18 using WnW Black Creme. Pin It

Revlon Colorstay 'Blue Slate' and Stamping

Remember you can still vote for me for the Bundle Monster Halloween Contest

I was going through some clearance baskets at Target and I found my favorite blue polish of all times: Revlon Colorstay Blue Slate. I can't begin to explain how beautiful the color is; so rich, opaque in one coat, creme finish, not too blue, not too gray. I am in love with this shade and take into account that I am the kind of girl that is insecure about wearing blue-ish nail polish. To compliment it, I added a full nail design from plate B65 using Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold (a suggestion from soguesswhat11) which I am loving as well. Here are some pictures:
