Layering Glitters...

So while laying in bed trying to go to sleep, my mind goes a mile a minute usually with things I have to do in coming days, or things I need to do....just silly things mainly. Last night I added polish to the list of things that run through my head at night.....LOL.

I thought how cool would it be to layer two different glitters that share a tinted base color. So I was scanning my memory of my stash, and landed on Revlon's Faucets of Fuchsia and Wet N Wild's Behind Closed Doors. They both had the Deep Grey/Black Base, and both had large Hex pieces and small glitters. I applied my base coat, I have been using OPI's Nail Envy-Original. I will have a post later on that, I have been taking weekly pictures of the progress. I have noticed a huge difference in the strength of my nails, they haven't cracked, or broke, or peeled in two weeks! That is amazing!!!

I used Revlon's FOF first, then Wet N Wild's BCD next, then I polished from the middle of my nail to the tip with the FOF, and then used BCD on the whole nail again. If I had used 'underwear' (that means using a dark color like black under the glitter), I wouldn't have had to use as many coats for full coverage. 

I like it, I am almost considering dumping a bit of each into and empty bottle.....

Have a good weekend!

It's December!

Okay so I am really proud of myself right now....I did an awesome job with tonight's Mani. Although my pictures suck, there was little light outside, and it was the sunset light so it was orangeish....

Ok So I started out with China Glaze's Passion in the Pacific as a base coat. Then I tipped my pinkie, middle, and index fingers with Finger Paints All you need is color. Then on a plastic baggie I made little white circles with Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear White on and topped it with Confetti Ice Ice Baby for a 'snowy' effect. Then a made little santa hats on the baggie with China Glaze's Ruby Pumps. I topped the work with Out the Door, let it dry, and then came back to it. I topped my ring ringer with a top coat and pulled one of the white circles off of the baggie and placed it on my finger to the edge of it and toward the tip, pressed it down gently and then took a hat off of the baggie and placed it on top the white circle. I then used a dotting tool and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Sun Kissed to make a nose, then placed two dots with WnW Black Creme for the eyes and then made a mouth, and then topped the hat with a dot of the white used for the circles. Then went back and dotted all of my fingers with the Confetti Ice Ice Baby....to make it look sparklie/snowie. Then topped it all off with Seche Vite.

*Excuse the blister on my thumb, I burnt it a couple days ago on the oven rack, ouchie!*

Again, I'm sorry about the cruddy pictures, I really need to fix my light box.....

Happy Halloween!

Yay it's finally Halloween! (this is a BIG post, beware!) Last day for Halloween themed Mani's! I couldn't decide what to put on my nails....so I did a 5 different things!
On Friday I picked up a Sally's Mini Glow in the dark polish...I couldn't find any other ones :*(
But I found out that this little one, works great! I also found some other beauties, but I will save that for another post!

When I prepared for this, I wasn't really sure what I was going to do... I wanted to try Mummy's, Pumpkins, The blood dripping thing, and my stamps.....

I painted all my nails with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's White On. Seche Vited it, and went to dinner, came back with a plan, lol. I did all of the above...

What I used:
My thumb has bats and a church form the Bundle monster plate 224 and 13, using Wet N Wild black creme and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Blue It, With Sally's Mini GITD on top.
My index has OPI (my one and only OPI- that's sad :(  Black Shatter, the glow in the dark is under the Shatter.
My middle has a Pumpkin and old tree stamped on it, plate BM-224, with Wet N Wild Black Creme, and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Sun Kissed. With the GITD on top.
My Ring is a mummy, using LA Colors Art Deco Striping polish in black, And then a white from a french kit by KISS, and then Big Apple Red Creme by NYC. I forgot to put the GITD under the stripes so I went back and dotted it between the lines and on his eyes.
On my pinkie is the Big Apple Red Creme by NYC, using a dotting tool and the brush from the bottle, with GITD over top.

And I love my toes right now, I have never really used a white as a color, only an accent, but this is really really really pretty! I used an old CQ white polish, with the silver/black pumpkin glitter from this post.

We, I mean Mr. LoveButt, carved pumpkins yesterday while the kids did a craft I picked at Micheal's, and what made me happy was that it didn't need glue, all the pieces had sticky backs, Yay!

Oldest did this one

Little Man did this one

Drama Queen did this one

Happy Halloween!!!! Be Safe tonight!!!!

Glittered Candy Corn!

Alright so I really wanted to use my pumpkin polishes I bought from Tara in PaA, but I couldn't decide which to use....so...

I did a base of Wet N Wild Black Creme and then...

On my pinky is WNW Behind Closed Doors
On my ring is a candy corn, White On- SH XW, Meet Me at Sunset- Essie, and Mellow Yellow- SH XW
On my middle in the Moon Pumpkin Glitter
On my index is the red Pumpkin Glitter
and finally on my thumb I have two of the glitters: the black/silver and the silver black.

This was a cute combo...
I'm sorry my fingers are dry! I lotioned right afterward! :(

Tonight I took all four kiddos to the older two's school for Spooky Story night. It was fun, kind of...they didn't last long, which is good for me, Because I'm not good with crowded public social things....They dressed up...even the little one had a costume on, lol....

Oldest is some black/dark guardian thing from Harry Potter-anyone know what the name of it is?
Drama Queen was a dancing cat, lol, but will be Superwoman for the real deal...
Little Man is Batman!
Handsome was a Ninja.

You know...I have some anxiety about posting their pictures on a public blog...I know some moms who don't, some who will occasionally with heads turned, so they aren't recognizable, and then some that say who cares.....I'm somewhere in the middle....I want to share them , but then again I don't feel like I should...like its welcoming danger in my home, make sense? Anyone else like that?

Ok, so for tomm since my husband works, I bought some crafts for the kids to do for Halloween, some foam things....we'll see how that goes

And I found some Glitter....it bled though and stupidly I bought two different kinds, and added them both, I should have done one at a time to see which one if not both bled....oh well its still pretty, I just have to get the shaking ball things....and perhaps a thicker top coat, than the thin Wet n Wild clear I used....

Don't forget to enter my give-away!

Oh and the challenges and recipes will resume after Halloween!

Is there anything you guys want to request?
