Pirate Hello Kitty, Argh!

Hey loves! Halloween is less than a week away and I'm finally getting around to doing some Halloween nails. I hoped to get around to doing some sooner, but now will have to do. Here's a Hello Kitty Pirate themed mani. She's cute as a pirate, or probably anything for that matter! Here's what I used:

Base colors: OPI Black Onyx, Zoya Arizona
Stamping Colors: Konad Black, Konad White
Image plates: FUN 2, BM 317, CH 49, CH 36

Born Pretty Store 12 Color Hex Glitter Review

Hi readers! Today I have something sparkly to show you from Born Pretty Store. I did a frame mani using a set of multi-colored hex glitter over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.

You get a set of 12 different colors and they come in small plastic containers. The best part--you get all 12 for only $6.45.

There's such a good variety of colors that come in this set. The only thing that I didn't like was that 2 of the lids weren't screwed on right and you can see in the bottom photo, a bunch of the yellow gold and blue glitter are all over the place. Luckily they didn't come off completely and most of the glitter stayed inside the containers. I really enjoyed using these glitters. They're very easy to use and you don't have to go through the trouble of fishing out glitter from glitter polishes. I have searched for glitters like these before, but I have never been able to find as much of a variety of colors or for this cheap. You can purchase them here from Born Pretty Store and use my code "NV7X31" for 10% off your purchase.

Tan, Teal, and Brown Gradient Dotticure

Happy Friday! Today I have my first dotticure to show you. I used this tutorial from Sarah at Chalkboard Nails. I usually avoid using a dotting tool because I'm so anal and I love everything to be perfect and symmetrical, but I got out of my comfort zone, tried this out, and ended up loving it! I used OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons for the base and then added dots using Color Club Age of Aquarius and China Glaze Mahogany Magic.

OPI Die Another Day and Cheeky CH33

Hey my polished pretties! I'm sorry I've been so busy lately. This is just a really busy semester. I promise I'm doing my nails as much as I can for you all. Today I have one of the polishes I got from the OPI Skyfall Collection. I actually got all 12 plus the 18k gold flake top coat. I'm a sucker for holiday collections buying every collection I can get my hands on! Here's OPI Die Another Day stamped using Cheeky CH33 in China Glaze Passion. I was going for a fall look, but this actually looks a lot more festive than I expected.

Here's a swatch of OPI Die Another Day. 2 coats no topcoat.
