piCture pOlish Unicorn may be Made with Real Unicorns!

Afternoon Guys!!


Today I want to show off how I wore piCture pOlish Unicorn. Which a gorgeous jade like green, packed full of gorgeous pink and white glitters!

piCture pOlish Unicorn goes on like a dream, especially considering how packed full of glitter it is. I had no trouble at all with application. It does lean a bit on the thick side, but honestly for such a  glitter filled polish, it isn't even as thick as I expected it to be. It does dry a tad rough, but one smooth coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top made it smooth. If the name wasn't enough to make me fall in love with this polish, the insane amounts of glitter and sparkly does the job! It is pretty opaque too, this is just 2 smooth coats.

To get this look, I started with a base of piCture pOlish Unicorn on my thumb (not shown) middle and pinky fingers, and a base OPI My Dogsled is a Hybrid on my pointer and ring fingers. Once that was dry I took MoYou London Kaleidoscope plate 06 and stamped in Mundo De Unas Mexican Pink. I then top coated everything with KBShimmer Clearly on Top and voila! fun whimsical unicorn nails!

I can't even begin to tell you how much I am crushing on this polish shade. It is sparkly and pretty and green with awesome. Seriously though, I imagine this is what unicorn poop would look like, and if it was real unicorn poop I would wear that shit on my nails with pride! :P That is how much I love this polish! 

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it for today. Is anyone else crushing this shade? Or really any of the recent piCture pOlish collab shades? There are a few that have made their way into my stash, or onto my wishlist recently. Let me know in the comments! Till next time Kittens! <3

KBShimmer Stonewashed to bring in November!

Heya Guys!!


Happy November! Today I want to show off a gorgeous fall inspired look using a whole slew of gorgeous fall polishes, before we get started though, I just want to touch on the absence around the blog the past few weeks. If you follow me on instagram, then you know that I have been laid up with a nasty sinus infection. :l that has been the suck. So sucky in fact, that I  have mostly had naked nails, since the fumes and a sinus infection do not get along. I am glad to say though, that I am back, and finally starting to feel human again! So there's that...Alright, enough talk, let's get to today's nails!

It has been rather cold here lately, and you can tell winter is just around the corner. I wanted to do some nails that really captured the cooler temperatures, and this was the end result! I at first thought this look might be to busy, but once I got it all on my nails, I fell in love! I even got brave and attempted some freehand (a very little!) and that even turned out pretty good! 

To get this look, I started with a base of piCture pOlish Totes on my pointer and ring finger, a base of OPI My Vampire is Buff on my thumb (not shown) and middle finger, and a base of KBShimmer Stonewashed on my pinky. Once that was dry, I took a makeup sponge and did a gradient, with piCture pOlish Totes, and Zoya Pepper and Louise. I then added some Fairy Dust by China Glaze to add a bit of sparkle. My middle finger was stamped with Pueen Buffet Set 55 in Mundo De Unas Red 9, Geranium 53, and Yellow 11. I added the blue lines using Stonewashed and a nail art brush. I then top coated the whole thing with KBShimmer Clearly on Top and I was done!

If you have been around here a while, you know that fall is not my favourite season, that my heart belongs to summer, however this look, makes me rethink that....almost! :P  I really love the muted rich colours in this look, and it really has me feeling the season!

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it for today. I hope you all enjoyed my fall inspired nails as much as I did! Is anyone else into the rich fall colours!? Have you done any fall themed nails? Let me know! Till next time Kittens! <3

Bundle Monster Halloween Witch Nails!

Heya Guys!!


I am a bit pressed for time, and starving so let's get right to it shall we!? Today's  Bundle Monster nail art contest prompt was Witches! Let's take a look!!


Bundle-Monster-Halloween-Witch-Nails

Bundle-Monster-Halloween-Witch-Nails


To get this look I started with a base of Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (Original) I only did one coat since I was going to be covering this with the gradient. Once that was mostly dry, I went in with a sponge and put the gradient on using Pacific Blue, OPI  Eurso Euro, and Cult Nails Blackout. I then freehanded the moon with a thin nail brush from Winstonia, in  Rica Whiteout. While I waited for my moon to dry, I took small bits of torn up sponge and using OPI I Just can't Cope-a-Cabana and Zoya Dove placed random splotches all over all the nails to give it a fog like eerie effect, I also went in with the same polishes over the moon to give it some depth. At this point I top coated and waited a bit for it to dry. Once it was dry enough to stamp over I took Bundle Monster Plate BM-013 and stamped the Witch and the Bats in Mundo De Unas Black. I then top coated again in KBShimmer Clearly on Top, and then again with OPI Matte Top Coat. I always use a glossy top coat first to ensure it won't smear my design. 


I am really pleased with how this turned out, it is dark and eerie and creepy! I was a bit worried going in that my moon would turn out badly, but I have been practicing my freehand skills and it is finally starting to pay off! :P 

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it for today! I hope you liked my Witch nails as much as I do! Has anyone else been doing this nail art contest!? Are you having as much fun as I am? Till next time Kittens! <3

Zoya Tilda makes Great Candy Halloween Nails!

Evening Guys!


I took a mini break from the Bundle Monster Nail Art Contest, cause over the weekend, I got a bit of a flu bug. :l Needless to say holidays, Nail art contest and flu bugs..don't mix! lol I am not 100% yet, but getting there, so I am jumping right back in at Day 15! The prompt was Trick or Treat!




OPI-Do-You-Have-This-Color-In-Stock-Holm-Halloween-Nails


OPI-Do-You-Have-This-Color-In-Stock-Holm-Halloween-Nails


OPI-Do-You-Have-This-Color-In-Stock-Holm-Halloween-Nails


I went with candy!!! Cause well, candy! :P To get this look I started with a base of Zoya Tilda on all my fingers. Once that was dry I took a sponge and using Tilda and OPI Do You Have This Color in Stock-Holm?  Did a gradient on my pointer and pinky fingers. While that was drying I stamped over my middle and ring fingers with MJ Plate III in Mundo De Unas Purple 14, and took my smallest dotting tool and filled in the centre of each circle with OPI Can't aFjord Not To. I then stamped over my pointer and pinky with Bundle Monster Plate BM-002 in Mundo De Unas 53 Geranium. I then top coated everything with KBShimmer Clearly on Top!

I really love how this came out. I was worried when I first came up with the idea, that it wouldn't look Halloween enough, but I really think the colour scheme keeps it looking very much in spirit of Halloween!

Even with my flu bug I am having so much fun with this contest! I have always shied away from things like this, worrying that I would get burned out or that it would be more work than fun for me,  I will admit I haven't done all the days, but I am still loving the prompts and having fun bringing them to life! Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it for today. Tomorrow's prompt is Witches, and I am pretty excited!! Till next time Kittens! <3

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!


China-Glaze-Pelican-Grey-Halloween-Nail-Art


China-Glaze-Pelican-Grey-Halloween-Nail-Art


China-Glaze-Pelican-Grey-Halloween-Nail-Art


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

Zoya Arizona: Minion Jack-O-Lanterns!

Hiya Guys!!

I hope everyone's week is going well,  mine is going alright. I am feeling better today so that is something! Continuing on with the Bundle Monster Nail Art Challenge, today is Day 08 and the prompt is Jack-O-Lanterns!


Zoya-Arizona-Minion-Jack-O-Lantern-Nail-Art

I went with Minion Jack-O-Lanterns! I have to say, I am totally in love with how these turned out! What's better then minions for Halloween!? I honestly don't think there is anything better...lol


To get this look I started with a base of Cult Nails on my thumb (not shown) pointer and ring fingers, and a base of Zoya Arizona on my middle and pinky fingers. Once that was dry I stamped the spider web image on my pointer and ring with Bundle Monster Plate BM-013 in Essie No Place Like Chrome.  To get my Jack-O-Lanterns, I first stamped the lines with Winstonia Plate W202 in Rica Polish Whiteout, then once that was dry enough that it wouldn't smear, I covered it with L'oreal Mango Mama, which is a sheer Jelly Orange. I waited for that to dry, and stamped the top leaves on with Bundle Monster Plate BM-005 in Mundo De Unas Avocado, and added the adorable minion faces with MJ Plate XXII. I then top coated with KBShimmer Clearly on Top and voila! Adorable Minion Jack-O-Lanterns!!

I am really, really in love with how this came out! I feel like I took something awesome like Jack-O-Lanterns, and put my own signature twist on it, and honestly I couldn't be more pleased with how these turned out! 

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it for today! I hope you aren't getting sick of these nail art challenge posts yet!? I am hoping to maybe get ahead over the weekend, and throw in some other content to mix it up for you guys. We will see how my weekend goes though, since beta for the EQ2 expac was released the other day, and well..gamer nerd! :P  Anyway, till next time Kittens! <3

Zoya Chantal and Robyn are Monstrously Awesome!

Heya Guys!!

It is a bit late in the day for my post, but I am not feeling well, so I got a bit of a late start on today's nails.  Since I am running a bit late, let's get right to today's Bundle Monster Nail Art Contest look! Today's prompt was Monsters!!


Zoya-Cookie-Monster-nail-art


Zoya-Cookie-Monster-nail-art


Zoya-Cookie-Monster-nail-art





As you can tell, I didn't go traditional here. I was going over and over through my Bundle Monster plates, and coming up short on ideas, when it finally hit me! The prompt is monsters, and who is one of the most famous monsters ever!? Cookie Monster!

To get this look I started with a base of Zoya Robyn on my ring finger and Zoya Chantal on all my other fingers. Once that was dry, I stamped dots over Zoya Chantal for a cookie effect using Bundle Monster BM-018 in Mundo De Unas Brown 23, and stamped Cookie Monsters mouth using My Online Shop plate MJ XXII in Cult Nails Nevermore. I did his eyes with a dotting tool, first the white dot in Rica Polish Whiteout and then the black dots over that in Nevermore. I then top coated everything in KBShimmer Clearly on Top and voila! Cookie Monster nails! :D

Although these aren't perfect, and not really "Halloween" I still adore them. I am loving how this nail art contest is forcing me to really think outside the box for the prompts! I am already looking forward to tomorrows jack-o-lanterns! 

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it for today! I hope you enjoyed my take on Monster nails as much as I did! Till next time Kittens! <3
