Orly R.I.P. Swatch

Happy Halloween! Today I have a perfect polish for the occasion. This is one coat of Orly R.I.P. over OPI Black Onyx. R.I.P. has a sheer black jelly base so I didn't have the patience to build it with multiple coats. I think it looks perfect for Halloween, especially if you don't have the time to do nail art. Does anyone have any special plans for Halloween? Whatever they are, hope you all have a safe evening!

China Glaze Beauty Within Swatch

Hey loves! Today I have a swatch of China Glaze Beauty Within from their United in Purpose Collection. I wanted a few more from the collection, but I had a huge haul this month and I used whatever small amount of control I had in me to pick just this one. It's a beautiful bright pink, the only thing I wasn't crazy about was the formula. I think it has some neon pigment in it because it dried semi-matte and I was really expecting this to be a creme, especially because it was released in October. Oh well, the formula wasn't troublesome and it's still awesome with topcoat, just not what I was expecting. I used 2 coats and topcoat for the photos below.

Candy on Candy

Happy Friday! I'm trying to get my Halloween manis in before the end of the month, so here's something sweet for you, candy! I stamped some candy over candy corn nails. For the candy corn base, I used Zoya Purity, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Sun Kissed, and China Glaze Happy Go Lucky. Then I stamped over that using BM 306 in Konad Black. Too sweet or just sweet enough?

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.

Base colors: OPI Black Onyx, Zoya Arizona
Stamping Colors: Konad Black, Konad White
