Behind Closed Doors
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!

Short leopard tips
Here is another fun and cute short nail design. I did a neutral colored leopard print French tip on my nails to trick my nails into thinking that they have some time off from nail polish. First I used nails inc. Porchester square, mushroom taupe cream, to freehand some French tips. Next, I used OPI You don't know Jacques!, taupe cream, and dabbed on random sized spots all inside the French tip. Finally, I used Sally Hansen nail art pen in Black to outline some of the sides around the spots to make it look like a leopard spot. I added a bit of gold using Sally Hansen nail art pen near the smile line. I sealed this off with a coat of Seche Vite and voila! Done.
I am enjoying doing short nail art designs more than I though, would you like to see more? Thanks for dropping by.

Bold runway gradient
For today's gradient Friday, I decided to recreate a runway nail look I saw. I used 2 coats of Sally Hansen Blue me Away!, a bright cream blue as my base coat. Next, I gently sponged on Sally Hansen Black Out near the base of my nails, creating a bold gradient look. What do you all think?
Happy early Thanksgiving to all my Canadian readers. Enjoy the long weekend!

Ladybug party
I was invited to a cute ladybug themed party recently, so I thought it was only suiting that I did a mani to match! I used Zoya Carmen (swatch seen here) as my base coat and then used Milani Nail Art in Black to draw my ladybugs. I used Sally Hansen Nail Art pens in white to add the dots. I thought my thumb looked a little bare, so I added a leaf using Milani Nail Art Green Sketch and Black.
I took some pictures of the party favors and cupcake decorations. They are all homemade! Arent they adorable? Thanks so much for reading. It has been a crazy week.

Pink Blush Diamond
Hurray! I finally got my hands on a Sally Hansen Nail Prism! I have read so much about them so I wanted to try them out for myself. Sally Hansen Nail Prism Pink Blush Diamond is a soft pink holographic polish that was opaque in 3 medium coats. The formulation was quite smooth and the dry time was decent. This reminded me of OPI DS Reserve but a tad bit lighter. This is quite nice and I am glad to add it to my collection. I am just adding the finishing touches on the giveaway. I promise it will be up by the end of this week!

It's ShowTime
Nothing says showtime like silver holographic polish. It is just plain mesmerizing. I bought this Sally Hansen Showtime off Polish Obsessed and I am so glad I did! Sally Hansen Showtime is a gorgeous linear silver holographic polish. It is a bit on the thin side, so it needed 4 thin coats to be opaque.
How does it compare to China Glaze OMG? See for yourself. I used OMG on my index and ring finger. The amount of holo just does not compare. How did China Glaze make their old formulation so holo-y? I love it. Please bring it backkkk. If any polish addicts out there has an extra bottle of any of the old China Glaze Kaleidoscope and OMG line and they are willing to part with it, let me know. For now, I will stare at my Showtime nails.
