Day 10: China Glaze Graveyard Nails!

Heya Guys!!

Happy Friday! I missed yesterdays prompt cause life got in the way :l but I am back today with Day 10 of the Bundle Monster Contest and the prompt is Graveyard!

To get this look I started with a base of China Glaze Pelican Grey on all my fingers, I only did one coat on my pointer and pinky, since I was going to be doing a gradient, but my middle and ring fingers got 3 coats to ensure opacity. Once that was dry, I stamped the letters onto my middle and ring fingers, for my tombstone. I used MoYou London Scholar Plate 06 and stamped in Cult Nails Nevermore. On my pointer and pinky, I did a gradient using Pelican Grey, Cult Nails Blackout and Cult Nails Nevermore, once that was dry I stamped over the gradient with Fun plate 04, in Nevermore, then stamped again over that with Bundle Monster BM-013 in Essie No Place like Chrome for the bats. I then top coated with KBShimmer Clearly On Top, and then again with OPI Matte Top Coat. 

I am really pleased with how this came out! I was a bit worried going in that the letters might be to big, or that the bats wouldn't look right, but I am so glad it all came together! I really think it has the true feel of a graveyard, and is perfect for Halloween! I may even have to do this again, when Halloween actually rolls around!

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it all for today! I am hoping to get a bit ahead this weekend, so that I can throw in some other posts! I hope you liked my take on graveyard nails as much as I do!! Till next time Kittens! <3

Indigo Bananas Maui Wowee goes Neon!

Hi Guys!

Today I want to show off a super gorgeous polish, Indigo Bananas Maui Wowee. Maui Wowee is an ice blue purple duo-chrome, with a bit of a foil like finish and a linear holo in the sun.  I am a bit pressed for time today, since my favourite person is still here, so let's get right to it!

As you can see, I managed to capture a bit of the holo in my lightbox, and although this isn't a blinding in your face holo, it is stronger in person. There is so much going on in this polish, it is hard to narrow down what I love best. I think I would have to say the duo-chrome, which is super surprising, since I am much more of a holo addict then a duo-chrome addict. This polish applies really nicely,  without any dragging issues, although I will mention, wait a bit in between coats, or you will run the risk of dragging. This was 3 thin coats. It was opaque at 2, but I added a third for colour depth. 

To get this look, I started with a base of Indigo Bananas Maui Wowee on my thumb (not shown) middle and pinky fingers, and a base of Rica Whiteout on my pointer and ring fingers. Once that was dry, I stamped using Fun Plate 03 in Mentality Deuce, and then again stamping over that image with Fun Plate 03 in Mundo De Unas 29 Neon Pink. The studs came from a stud wheel of neon studs off eBay. 

I know, it is September, and that means fall colours, but as you can see, I am not quite ready to let go of summer. I think I will have to get in a few more neon-eque manis, before I finally submit to fall. Speaking of the end of summer, I hope everyone who celebrates Labour Day had an awesome weekend! I relaxed mostly, and soaked up the last official weekend of summer with some swimming and a bbq. 

Alright guys and gals, I think that mostly covers it for today. My favourite person is still here till the end of the week, and so I really should be getting back to playing hostess! I will have at least 1 more post this week, but I may be able to find some down time to squeeze in another! *fingers crossed!*  Till next time Kittens! <3
