Happy Hunger Games!!

Hey everybody:) Happy Hunger Games!! I love this book series and am so super excited about Catching Fire coming out today in movie theaters. Unfortunately both of my kiddos are sick and I can't go see it until they feel better, but I wanted to celebrate with everyone going to the movies today! So here is my tribute to the new movie Catching Fire!!

 
This mani has a lot of layering, here is a quick overview of what I did... I started with a black and red polish for the base, then I added the matte top coat. After that had time to dry (this was a all day thing) I started to hand paint the fire on... red, orange, yellow and last a touch of white. While that dried I painted the mochingjay, not the best work but but you get the point! Hope you have fun at the movie and love this mani as much as I do.
Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this mani and if you are dressing up you mani for Catching Fire.

Happy Polishing Everyone and my the odds be ever in your favor!
Love,
~Anne~

13 Days of Halloween...Day 10 Skulls

 Hi all day 10 of Halloween has come so quickly...so today I have skulls from Bundle Monsters plate bm 413 stamped with KleanColor Metallic Fuschia. I started off with Zoya's Dove ,  I was just going to stamp it once on my ring finger but I liked it so much I couldn't leave it on just one finger so I decided to stamp all of them. I really like Dove with a matte top coat so I used Hard Candy's Matte-ly In Love on top (second picture).

What do you think? Are you ready for Halloween? What will you be wearing on your nails?

13 Days Of Halloween.... Happy Halloween!

Hey everybody, Happy Halloween!!! Hope y'all are having a great Halloween:) Today I have something special for y'all, The Nightmare Before Christmas! I LOVE this movie and wanted to share that love with y'all today on this All Hallows' Eve.
When I deiced to do this mani it really was a undertaking. First I had to look up pictures from the movie and then making sure I had all the colors I needed for the mani. Next I drew out a sketch of what I wanted and where the placement should be, I'm tired just thinking about it all. This was all hand done so it took quite a while (a couple of hours, from start to finish) with all the dry time that I needed.
I hope you love "The Nightmare Before Christmas" mani as much as I do, here are the pictures!

I hope y'all have a Happy and Safe Halloween! Let me know what y'all think of this mani!

Happy Halloween & Polishing Everyone!
Love,

13 Day's of Halloween.... Day 10 Ghosts

Hey everybody:) Today I have a mani inspired by some of my kids old school crafts....ghosts! I was going through some old papers the other day and came across a old school picture my son created for me. It was little ghost done with finger prints....hmmm, this really got me thinking; I can do this for a mani! I got to work and started off with black then matted it, after that dried I took my pinkie and dipped it in white and pressed it onto my nails. And because it's Halloween I made it glow with a little glow polish, dotted the eyes and mouth ....DONE! super easy and really cute! Here are my ghostly pictures:)

And you know I like it when it glows!!!

So tell me what y'all think of these ghostly prints:) I think they turned out really cute!

Happy Polishing Everyone!

13 Days of Halloween... Day 4 Flakie Matte

Hey everybody:) Today for day 4 of our 13 days of Halloween I have a really easy look for all those folks out there that don't have an artistic bone in their body. This is one of the easiest Halloween looks ever and all you really need is a matte top coat! Here is what I did for my look..... I started off with a black base coat, then I topped that with a flakie top coat, and after letting that dry completely I used a matte top coat (twice).
EASY right! Here are the pictures:)

In this one you can really see the matte top coat!

Love this look ♥ What an easy way to go out on Halloween and have a great looking mani ♥ What do y'all think of this mani??

Happy Polishing Everybody!

Love,

Teal Tuesday!

Hi everyone it's Teal Tuesday again and I wanted to show off a special polish. This is Diamond Cosmetics Don't Teal My Heart Away..it's special because a friend gave me this last year the kindness of that friend lasts and lasts! So this is Two coast of D.T.M.H.A. very beautiful I almost got away with one but wanted to make sure...so two it was!

So I always like to bling up cremes...I added Essie's Good as Gold that another friend recommended to me for stamping because I didn't have a gold. I used Bundle Monster plate 315 which didn't transfer because of an oopsie I don't usually have..I had the fan on v_v oh well I kinda like it not all there ^_^.

 Now I like shiny stuff but I'm really digging the Matte right now so I decided to put Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love on top of this! Turns out I love it!!

Well I hope you liked today's post..
Right now I'm wearing Don't Teal My Heart Away on my toes also (with a little holo glitter)...I don't usually match my toes with my nails but this! This was worth it...you can wear a color so many ways really...so just for kicks what's on your toes right now?

Cult Nails Let Me Fly

Hi ^_^ today I have for you Cult Nails Let Me Fly! Let Me Fly is a beautiful dusty turquoise with silver shimmer. Really an amazing color I just fell in love with it the first time I put it on!

I thought I would top this with Matte-ly In Love by Hard Candy to try it out..I didn't know I could fall in love with this polish any more it goes from summer to fall really easy with just a top coat of a matte polish!  Of course I wore this during the summer with a matte top coat so it works anytime of year!

What do you think? Is Matte a fall thing or would you wear it any time during the year?
