Here is another simple but stunning Halloween manicure! I really like how this looks. I started off with one coat of Sally Hansen Black Out. Next, I layered on 2 coats of Wet N' Wild Behind Closed Doors, which is a red base polish with hexagonal and fine glitter. This polish is another one from their On the Prowl collection and the formulation was okay. You need to roll this polish a couple of times before you use it, otherwise the red hexagonal glitters don't end up on the brush. Thanks for reading!
Here is my first Halloween nail design! I used 2 colors from Wet N' Wild On the Prowl collection. I also included some swatch pictures of each color as well. I used 2 medium coats for each polish and each covered quite well. The brushes are meh, and I do not really like them, but for 2.99 I can't really complain. The colors are GORGEOUS. Cougar Attack is a brown based polish with copper shimmer. Ready to Pounce is a dark vampy purple with magenta shimmer. I almost passed on this one like I passed on Jungle Fever and Ink Well, but am so glad that I didn't. This one is a beauty.
I used Ready to Pounce as my base coat and sponged on Cougar Attack on the tips. Finally, I used Konad White to stamp on a pumpkin and a bat. More designs to come!

Here is a quick swatch of China Glaze Tarnished Gold again, this time over one coat of Wet n Wild Black Cream. The result looks a lot better. Win.
Today's gradient Friday reminds me of Wonder Woman a bit, although it wasn't intended to. I used a dollar store gold glitter on the top 2 thirds of my nails and used China Glaze Ruby Pumps on the top third of my nails. I blended it together with Wet N' Wild Clear nail protector and then sprinkled some gold hexagonal glitter on top. I finished this look off with a coat of Seche Vite (sorry for the cuticle mess, I took these pictures pre-cleanup).
As always, Im open to any gradient color suggestions! So drop me a comment!

Revlon Gold Coin is aptly named because the color is exactly that. It is a stunning gold metallic polish with a base of silver. The formulation was smooth and the polish was opaque in 2 coats. I really liked the color, but I thought I could make it pop more by adding a design to it. I used Wet N' Wild Black with an image from BM 224. Removal of the polish was a little bit of a hassle as it tends to live a bit of silvery glitter behind, but still the color is totally worth a little extra removal effort.

Today for gradient Friday, I decided to do something different and make a gradient using my Bundle Monster plate design. I used 2 coats of Color Club Almost Famous as my base coat. Next on the design I chose I painted stripes of each color onto the plate. I started off with the lightest color, SkinFood PK004, a creamy light pink. Next in the middle of the design, I striped another line using Konad Special Pink Polish. Finally, to close off my stamping gradient, I used Wet N' Wild Red Red. After all the polish was on, I scraped off the excess starting from the darkest to the lightest polish and stamped it on. Voila! There you have it. Hope you enjoyed. I used BM-215 plate.

For today's gradient Friday, I have posted up a gradient tutorial that some of you have requested! Here is the tutorial for my neon print gradient. CLICK ON PICTURE TO ENLARGE.
Prep: a cosmetic sponge, 3 nail polish colors, paint on base coat
1. Sponge on your first color all over your nail. Press harder on the bottom of your nail and fade near the top.
2. Next, sponge on your next color diagonally on the top 2/3 of the nail. Again, press harder near the bottom and fade near the top of your nail.
3. Now it is time for your third color. Sponge it on diagonally on the top third of the nail and press down hard.
4. Put on a quick drying top coat and get your stamper and plate ready!
5. Stamp on your design. I used BM 208 with Wet n' Wild Black Crème.
6. Finally, seal it all with a top coat and clean up around your cuticle with an orange stick or cotton balls.
There is also a picture of how the manicure looks once it is completed. Hope this helps! Click here for the products used.
Today is another gradient Friday! Polish addicts, can you guess what this was inspired by? For this week, I used a wet gradient method for this color combination. I used Wet N' Wild Hallucinate for my first coat, let it dry for a little bit, then layered on Sally Hansen HD Resolution on the top 2/3 of my nails, and finally on the top 1/3 of my nails I used Nicole by OPI Me + Blue, a shimmery dark blue. I added one more coat of Wet N' Wild Hallucinate and sealed this all with Seche Vite and CND Super Shiney to give it more of a jelly look.
Polish more soon!
