3rd Halloween Tutorial

Hey guys. I have been having a ton of blogger issues lately. So I'm switching to Internet Explorer to see if that works. It better so far..

I have the 3rd Halloween tutorial for you today! Today is spider webs. Here is what you will need:

  • Black polish
  • Another polish (color of your choice)
  • Base and top coat
  • Nail art brush
  • Acetone
  • Q-tips
Step one:

Paint your nails two coats of your choice. If you want a Halloween theme, I would go with orange or purple.
 
Step two:
 
Paint lines like showed in the picture. Make sure you use black.
 
Step three:
 
Paint a line inbetween each of the lines.
 
Step four:
 
Paint two lines inbetween the lines. Make sure they are curved or it will look funny. Put on top coat and your done!

Fall Nail Art!

Hey! Sorry its been a while. I did do my nails this week and all but they were just swatches and glitter. But if you want to see those, they are up on instagram!

So I was up until three am yesterday finishing this manicure. Its the first nail art I have done this year. For the thumb and middle finger I used Sinful Color's Pumpkin Spice. For my pointer finger I did a gradient with Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet and Sinful Colors Beau Khaki. For my pinky finger I did an another gradient using Essie Tart Deco and Elf Smoky Brown. For my ring finger I tried for a tree dropping multi colored leaves. I'm actually pretty happy with it. I used Elf nude, Cover Girl Pina Colada, Elf Smokin' Hot, Sinful Colors Beau Khaki and Essie Tart Deco.

ELF Disney Villians Set


Hi there. I got up at 2 in the afternoon today. I have been sleeping about 14 hours every day for the past two weeks. I have also been super weak and dizzy. So I'm going in to get my blood tested on Friday. The people who I have talked to seem to think that I don't have enough vitamins in my body. So for now I'm just taking some vitamins to see if that gives me energy. 

I got the ELF Disney Villians set at Walgreens yesterday. It has 12 polishes in it for 10 dollars. So its a great deal! I already have 4 of the polishes though. But 8 new polishes for 10 is alright too. Here is my review and swatches of the 12 polishes.

 
There is supposed to be 3 polishes in the Cruella De Vil side, but one of them turned on me, and I couldn't get it visible. But no worries, I still have the swatches and everything. Cruella De Vil is from 101 Dalmations. The Cruella De Vil collection includes Nude, Smokin' Hot, and Smoky Brown.

Nude:

Nude is a tan color with a hint of beige. This is one of the polishes that I already have but I love it all the same. Nude has actually been one of my favorite nude polishes for a while now. The formula is amazing. It goes on in 2 coats and has no issues. Here is two coats and no top coat.




Polish Info:
Brand: Elf
Name: Nude
Finish: Creme
Collection: Disney Villians: Cruella De Vil
 
Smokin' Hot:

Smokin' Hot is your typical red creme. I like it a lot but it's not really too special. The formula is good. It has no issues and goes on in two coats. Here is two coats and no top coat.




Polish Info:
Brand: Elf
Name: Smokin' Hot
Finish: Creme
Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Cruella De Vil

Smoky Brown:

Smoky Brown is dark brown. I like this color a lot, because it has a lot of depth for a brown. The formula is great and it goes on in two coats. Here is two coats with no top coat.



Polish Info:
Brand: Elf
Name: Smoky Brown
Finish: Creme
Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Cruella De Vil


Ursula is from Little Mermaid! This collection includes Coral Dream, Mint Cream, and Sea Escape.

Coral Dream:

Coral Dream is a pinkish orange. I wouldn't call it coral because it is way more on the orange side. The formula is good and it goes on in two coats. Here is two coats with no top coat.




Polish Info:
Brand: Elf
Name: Coral Dream
Finish: Creme
Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Ursula
 
Mint Cream:

Mint Cream is a greenish blue. Honestly I wouldn't call this a mint. More like a light blue with a hint of green. But it is pretty and original anyways. The formula is great and it goes on in two coats. Here is two coats with no top coat.




Polish Info:
Brand: Elf
Name: Mint Cream
Finish: Creme
Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Ursula

Sea Escape:

Sea Escape is a very dark blue with some lighter blue shimmer. This one of those polishes that it is beautiful in the bottle, but no really on your fingers. I'm not a huge fan but its alright. The formula is good and it goes on in two coats. Here is two coats with no top coat.




Polish Info:
Brand: Elf
Name: Sea Escape
Finish: Shimmer
Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Ursula


Evil Queen is from Snow White. The collection includes Pot Of Gold, Cranberry, and Thunder Storm.

Pot Of Gold:

Pot Of Gold is a gold foil. This polish is a complete dupe of Julie G ornamental. Like they look completely alike. So that is why I love this one! It is super pretty. The formula is great and it goes on in two coats. Here is two coats with no top coat.




Polish Info:
Brand: Elf
Name: Pot Of Gold
Finish: Foil
Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Evil Queen

Cranberry: 

Cranberry is a dark red with some red and gold shimmer. This color is amazingly pretty. I have nothing like it. The formula is great and it goes on in two coats. Here is two coats with no top coat.




Polish Info:
Brand: Elf
Name: Cranberry
Finish: Shimmer
Collection: Elf Disney Collections: Evil Queen

Thunder Storm:

Thunder Storm is a dark teal. It's pretty but not my favorite. The formula is great and it goes on in two coats. Here is two coats with no top coat.




Polish Info:
Brand: Elf
Name: Thunder Storm
Finish: Creme
Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Evil Queen


Maleficent is from Sleeping Beauty. Its a good thing that I don't have to speak, because I have no clue how to say her name. This collection includes Bubble Gum Pink, Mod Mauve, and Gina Girl. 

Bubble Gum Pink:

Bubble Gum Pink is your typical hot pink. I like it because it has some depth to it that I didn't expect. The formula is great and it goes on in two coats. Here is two coats with no topcoat.




Polish Info: 
Brand: Elf
Name: Bubble Gum Pink
Finish: Creme
Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Maleficent

Mod Mauve:

Mod Mauve is a brick red. I like this one just because I don't have anything like it. The formula is good and it goes on in two coats. Here is two coats with no topcoat.




Polish Info:
Brand: Elf
Name: Mod Mauve
Finish: Creme
Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Maleficent

Gina Girl:

Gina Girl is a clear base with purple, orange big hexagons and yellow, red, and green small ones. This polish is my favorite. It suprised me. If you look at the bottle it looks like a black creme with the glitter. But nope, its pretty clear. Even though there is hint of grey color to the base. It also suprised me by drying matte. The formula is great and there is lots of glitter. Here is two coats over Sinful Colors Black on Black with no topcoat.




Polish Info: 
Brand: Elf
Name: Gina Girl
Finish: Glitter, Matte
Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Maleficent
