Halloween nails

I love Halloween!  It's fun to not have any inhibitions for one day.  I tried out the second skull makeup youtube video and it went well.  Not quite as good as the video but I was happy enough with it.  See below for the Halloween nails I am sporting this Halloween. 

Dollarama finds

If it's not already a past time of yours, it should be because you never know what you might find.  First up is this magnifying mirror x2 with this amazing border.  I am debating painting the frame black but am going to hold off till we have a permanent place because I don't know what my long term makeup décor will be.  Second up is Nicole OPI nail polish is hard-kourt fashionista for $3.  Considering these easily retail for $10+, it was a no brainer.  Also there which I am not sure about was a nail stamping kit.  For $3, I figured it was a cheap way to try it out.

NOTD - Wet N Wild Fergie - A024 - Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night

I bought this during my trip to California for $5.  I can't say I've seen it in Toronto but doesn't mean it doesn't exist.  Things are just so much easier to find in the states and not to mention cheaper.  It looks like it's a black nail polish with specks of glitter however once you put it on, you realize it is a clear nail polish with little black and gold flecks.  What you see below is 4 coats!  I loved it at first but then felt a little weird as the day on.  I think I am going to do this again but on top of an orange nail polish for Halloween.  How amazing would that look?

NOTD --> First time doing an accent nail

Well folks, I did it!  I tried out a subtle accent nail and I like the look!  I think I like it because it's very subtle and a good way to ease into it without being overwhelmed by one nail looking drastically different than the rest.  Accent nail virgin no more!

I had to do two coats of L'Oreals The Sparklicious 803 to get the effect on the right.  I wonder if I can just buy glitter from Michaels and achieve the same thing.  I don't like that I can't control the placement of the shapes.  There's the control freak in me coming out.

Off to Cailfornia for the weekend!  Yay!  Here's hoping the mani survives the weekend.

L'oreal The Sparklicious Top Coat

This beauty right here was bought at Rexall for $5.  I haven't bought a new nail polish in a while seeing as how I am jobless but I couldn't resist at that price and how pretty it was.  I did do a quick swatch on my nail and found it wore thin as in only two sparkles made it onto my nail.  If you look at that picture of my thumb below, you will see that only two sparkles made it on with one coat.  It is definitely something I see myself applying several coats of to get to my desired level of sparkliness. 

I've always wanted to try that accent nail trend that everybody is rocking but I haven't been brave enough to do it.  I think with this, it is subtle enough for me to try.
