Today, I have 1, 2, Freddy's Coming For You from Dollish Polish's Halloween Frights collection to show you. 1, 2, Freddy's Coming For You is a Green, black and burgundy glitter topper in a clear base. As soon as I saw the first swatches of this polish I knew I had to have it. This polish is based on Freddy Kruger's striped sweater from A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. As some of you may know I am a HUGE Freddy Kruger fan, and have been since I was a kid (I don't include the abortion of a remake in the Nightmare franchise!!!! Robert Englund only thank you! Freddy = Robert England, Freddy ≠ Jackie Earle Haley end of story. Don't go there with me or you tempt full on nerd rage.). I guess I'm preternaturally attracted to sarcastic "bag guys," (or so it would seem) and that all started with Freddy. But I digress, I knew this polish had to be mine as soon as I saw it. So without further ado, here is 1, 2, Freddy's Coming For You:

For these pictures I used two coats of 1, 2, Freddy's Coming For You over two coats of OPI My Vampire Is Buff topped with a heavy layer of top coat. Polish applied easily and dried quickly. I only needed to dab on the first layer and the second went on like normal polish. Over all I adore it. Pretty polish, based on one of my favorite baddies and I'm in nail and movie nerd heaven. Cudos for Dollish Polish for making this lovely lady for us. What do guys think? Are you loving it? Are you guys as big a Freddy fan as I am? Or am I just a weirdo? Talk to me below. Anyway, that's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.
So today I have a Nightmare Before Christmas manicure for you guys. I'm calling this one 'We're Simply Meant To Be." With an underlying theme of the love Jack and Sally share (hence the title). It didn't turn out exactly as I wanted it to...So we are just going to call it stylized Jack and Sally...In fact if you like it you have my friend Marcie to thank for it (I was going to scrap it until she said she loved it). Conversely if you hate it she's also the one to blame (sorry Marcie). Anyway here it is:

We're Simply Meant To Be
Usually, this would be the part where I tell you haw I did it...but this one is pretty complicated and I'm not entirely happy with it so I'm just going to throw this up here and say "Here, I did a thing." If you like it I'm glad, if you hate it...well I'm not happy with it either. But anyway I hope you guys all have a safe and happy Halloween and eat lots of candy, watch lots of horror films and and carve lots of pumpkins. That's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.
XOXO
First if all I wanted to apologize for being MIA lately. I just started a new job and haven't quite figures out a good pacing yet (I promise I will work on it though). Plus, I got a case a food poisoning (from a local TexMex place that I will never eat at again...it's funny how 3AM puke fests will do that to you). But luckily it is no longer making me toss my cookies but I am still a little light headed. That said I wasn't going to let it keep me from getting this post up. Luckily I did the mani on Sunday and edited the pics before the food poisoning kicked in. So I can handle the write up today (light headed or not). Anyway, today I have a Halloween water marble to show you guys. Actually it didn't exactly turn out as I wanted it to...But I like it and it's Halloween-ish so I'm posting it anyway. So without further ado here it is:

What I Used:
China Glaze - Sun Worshiper
China Glaze - Near Dark
China Glaze - Desert Sun
Dollish Polish - This Is Halloween
I started with a base coat of Sun Worshiper then water marbled with Near Dark and Desert Sun. Once it was dry I added a layer of This Is Halloween to my ring finger as an accent nail. So what do you guys think? Do you like it? I really Do like it...even if it didn't turn out just as I wanted it to be or how I Imagined it would be. Anyway that's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.
XOXO
Today, I have another Halloween manicure to show you guys. To be more specific I have a Gravestone manicure to show you. Pretty basic but one I haven't done yet so here it is:

What I Used:
Zoya - Storm
China Glaze - Concrete Catwalk
China Glaze - Recycle
China Glaze - Matte Magic
Essie - Cashmere Bathrobe
Deborah Lippmann - Defying Gravity
Ceramcoat - Black
For this mani I started with Storm and then free handed the darker edge of the tombstones with Concrete Catwalk then went over top of that to make the face of the tombstone with Recycle. When that was dry I sponged on Cashmere Bathrobe and then decorated the face of the tomb stone with Black acrylic paint. I then used a matte topcoat so it looked like stone. And finished up with Defying Gravity as grass growing around the stone. Over all I rather like how this manicure turned out. What do you guys think? Anyway that's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.
XOXO
So today, I was feeling all nostalgic for Halloween when I was a kid and decided to do a nail art based on one of my favorite Halloween cartoons growing up. The cartoon is way older than me, but my mother pretty much recorded every holiday cartoon every drawn and I got to watch them all growing up (on gasp...VHS). I still have a VHS copy of it actually and I even still have a VCR to play it in (Gasp). Anyway, Witches Night Out is one of my favorite retro Halloween cartoons so I decided to do a manicure based on it. So without any further ado, here it is:

Closeups:
Thumb - Nicely
Index Finger - Small
Middle Finger - Bazooey
Ring Finger - Tender
Pinkie Finger - The Witches Magic Wand.
The center glows in the dark...but my camera wasn't having it.
What I Used:
China Glaze - White On white
China Glaze - Sea Spray
China Glaze - Ghoulish Glow
Konad - White
Dollish Polish - This Is Halloween
Americana - Mustard Seed
Americana - True Red
Americana - White Wash
Ceramcoat - Black
Stamping:
Cheeky CH48
Movie Cover Art:
YouTube has the whole video so go watch it already.
To get this look I used a base coat of Seas Spray and topped it with This Is Halloween. I then made my own decals from my own drawings for Small, Tender, Nicely, and Bazooey. I made a stamping decal for the magic wand and then applied them all and top coated them. I mixed the acrylic paints to get the desired colors for Small and Nicely because I didn't have the right colors to start with. On the decals I opted for pencil as opposed to pen or marker because I thought it would fit the style of the cartoon better. So all my followers who are fans of vintage cartoons, how did I do? I rather like how they turned out. I hope you guys enjoy this manicure as much as I do. That's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.
XOXO
Today, I have another Halloween manicure to show you guys. I'm calling this one Graveyard at Dusk. I used sponging, stamping, self made decals (Thumb), and loose glitter. I really hope you guys like this one. I'm really digging it.

What I Used:
China Glaze - Scandalous Shenanigans
China Glaze - Infra Red
China Glaze - Not In This Galaxy
China Glaze - Happy Go Lucky
Konad - Black
Ceramcoat - Black
Silver holographic stars and crescent moons
Stamping:
HD04
To get this look I used a base coat of Not In This Galaxy then sponged on the gradient or Scandalous Shenanigans, Infra Red and Not In This Galaxy. Then stamped on the graves, applied the decal for the thumb, and finally added the loose glitter. Over all I really like how this one turned out. It actually kind of reminds me of the Adams Family...probably because of the big Gothic house next to a grave yard. But I figured every graveyard has a keepers cottage. This one is just a little more grand and Gothic than most. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this manicure. That's all I have for you today. So until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.
XOXO
