Wicked Immortals

Call Of The Zombie
And out of the darkness the zombie did call,
true pain and suffering he brought to them all,
away went the children to hide in their beds,
in fear that the devil would chop off their heads.
- Rob Zombie

I painted China Glaze Immortal on my nails which is an amazing gray with a hint of blue, purple, and silver glitters. Then, I used China Glaze Make A Spectacle which reminds me of China Glaze Snow Globe. I bought Make A Spectacle for two reasons, number one, I'm almost out of Snow Globe, reason number two, I have a glitter addiction. These two polishes are very pretty and I think they go well together. I'm very impressed with the China Glaze 2012 Halloween collection.

Running From This Nightmare

''Do you know the terror of he who falls asleep? To the very toes he is terrified, because the ground gives way under him, and the dream begins.''
- Friedrich Nietzsche

Anyone that knows me, knows that I love quotes, I love Halloween and this time of year so I have plenty of quotes for posts. :] I decided to do Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare On Elm Street nails. I have all the movies except the newest one which I went to see with Brittany and a bunch of other friends. Since the dream stalker always wears a Christmas sweater, I painted my nails with China Glaze Watermelon Rhind. Then, using tape, I painted on stripes with China Glaze Salsa. I used China Glaze Matte Magic to take away all the shine. When Freddy bleeds, it's green so I splattered my nails with China Glaze Gaga For Green. Enjoy!

''One, two, Furby's coming for you.''
The new 2012 Furbies are awesome and totally worth the money. My cat hates it though. :]

Candy Corn Lasers

I have another Halloween manicure! I wanted to do something candy corn related, but I didn't want to do the generic candy corn nails. So decided to do candy corn lasers!
First, I sponged China Glaze White on White and Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow. I had to mix the orange using China Glaze Hey Sailor and some SH Mellow Yellow to get the right shade.


After that, I covered my nails randomly with strips of tape and painted them with China Glaze Liquid Leather.

Green Slime

Since it's October, it's finally time for Halloween nails! I always wanted to try a 'drip' manicure and I figured now was the perfect time. It is a little lumpy because both of the polishes I used are getting old and thick. But  I still really like it. I used Liquid Leather and In the Lime Light by China Glaze.

Matte Spun Sugar

This was my first attempt at doing a spun sugar manicure, so please excuse the mess it is lol. I think I made my lines too thick, and also too many of them. I'm not sure I like the texture of the finished design either.. It's extremely bumpy even after two coats of top coat plus matte top coat. That's really my fault for doing such thick lines, though.
Despite all the problems I had, I do want to try it again. Hopefully next time I'll get the hang of it.
The colors I used for this were Sally Hansen Gunmetal and China Glaze Electric Beat.

As Pretty as a Princess

For this I used Pure Ice Love for the base. And over it I used Wet n' Wild Party of Five Glitters.
