Halloween Skittles!

....Or should I call them Cauldron Skittles? That's what the Halloween mix of Skittles are called.

Regardless, I wasn't up to doing my nails last night for Halloween, so I did a quick stamping look this year. All the base colors are from OPI and I implemented a couple nail stamping plates for the designs. Not bad given how quick it is.

Happy Halloween!

Everything I Hauled from October's Polish Pickup

Greetings, y'all! Got another Polish Pickup haul to share!

Polish Pickup is a multi vendor shop that's open during the first weekend of the month. All polishes are exclusive to the shop. You can order as much as you want during its opening, although some items have caps placed on them. Domestic shipping is a flat $3.

By the way, every PPU is themed. This month's was villains.

Without further ado, let's see what I got!

Femme Fatale 7th Anniversary Trio swatches and reviews

Femme Fatale recently celebrated its seventh year of operation. Has it really been that long? I got into them shortly before their fourth anniversary. How time flies.

Every year a special trio is released to commemorate this achievement. Each trio is also themed. This year the polishes are inspired by the brain.

Not to be confused with these Brains

Since the trio will hit stockists in the very near future (if not already), I figured why not share my thoughts on them? Each swatch except for one are with glossy top coat and matte accents.

Halloween Colors ft Colores de Carol's Don't Look Behind You!

As I mentioned in my September Polish Pickup haul post, Colores de Carol's Don't Look Behind You! has a lot of layering potential. Halloween is next week so a holiday color mani was inevitable!

Femme Friday: Graveborn

This Femme Friday will be a quick one. Capping off this spoopy Femme Friday month is an old anniversary polish, Graveborn.

Candy Corn Reverse Stamping

I love October. 'Wish it never ended. How is it already near the end of the month?

So many nail designs I want to do, so little time. Figured that while I still had some time that I should do some candy corn nails. 'Tis the season.

Baroness X The Crypt Keeper

Greetings, boils and ghouls! Try not to lose your head over today's frightfully fangstastic varnish! I call it Baroness X's The Crypt Keeper.

Mundo de Uñas stamping plates swatches and reviews

Greetings, y'all! You may know that Mundo de Uñas makes stamping polish, but did you know that it also offers stamping plates? I only recently found out myself. Guess I was more focused on what they're most famous for. There's an eclectic mix carried, from the usual lace and flowers to fandom plates. There are even NSFW ones if you're daring enough to wear them in public. They're just as cheap as the stamping polish- I paid $3.50 for each plate before a sale promo applied.

I managed to cut down my purchase to five plates. Trust me, it was difficult. They're all fandom related, but vary from Disney to Hello Kitty to Pokemon and Sailor Moon. If you want to see how they perform, read on.

Sayuri Witch in Training

Today's polish was a minor lemming of mine for awhile. I knew I wanted it when I first saw it, but it came out the same month as Momocon. Con funds > polish. Someone eventually answered my ISO for this, and I couldn't be more excited.

Femme Friday: Wolfsbane

Some people love vampires, others zombies. I'm a werewolf girl. Lifelong fan. I consumed a lot of the classic werewolf flicks and folklore as a kid as well as more contemporary media such as Goosebumps installments. When I saw the name for this old glitter Femme, I knew I had to have it.

Magica de Spell nails

I'm always waffling between whether or not Magica de Spell or Flintheart Glomgold is my favorite Disney Duck villain. Probably Flintheart. But Magica's a super close second. Both are awesome.

Topic Tuesdays: Top Five Favorite Colors for Halloween

Greetings, y'all! Instagram's Topic Tuesdays has a new nail prompt today, asking nail polish addicts what their favorite colors for Halloween are. Here are mine, in no particular order.

OPI Mrs O'Leary's BBQ

Another simple weekend mani. Cremes are wonderful for that. I've worn OPI cremes countless times before, but this is my first time using their Infinite Shine line. Probably fitting that I'm wearing a popular shade like Mrs O'Leary's BBQ as my first.

Femme Friday: In His House He Waits Dreaming (+ Comparison)

Greetings, y'all! I am continuing my Femme Friday series with one of my first polishes in my FF collection. It's the ever popular In His House He Waits Dreaming.

Goosebumps Monster Blood

Being a 90s kid, Goosebumps was absolutely part of my childhood. The iconic book covers creeped me out, the famous TV show theme song haunted my ears, and there was a year where I read almost exclusively Goosebumps during DEAR time at school. You bet I watched that Jack Black movie that came out a few years ago. It was a nostalgia gold mine. Now that that movie is getting a sequel that's debuting this weekend, why not get covered in Monster Blood?

Obligatory Jack O' Lantern nails

Ah, Jack O' Lanterns. One of the first symbols of Halloween one learns about. For that reason they are a popular source for nail art. It's one I always intended to do but didn't get around to doing until now.

Subtle Plaid Nails

Just wanted to do something simple this weekend. Originally I just wanted to wear OPI Alpaca My Bags by itself but ultimately decided why not do some stamping. Plaid (or rather, plaid flannel) spoke to me. After choosing between tannish greige and white, I figured that the Moonflower Polish that I recently hauled would look good. A quick stamping test on a swatch nail confirmed. It's subtle, but I like it. It's like there's a reward for looking closely at my nails or in direct light.

Items Used
Base Polish: OPI Alpaca My Bags
Stamping Polish: Moonflower Polish Do Not Read the Latin!
Stamping Plate: Pueen Geo Lovers 02
Base/Top Coat: Vibrant Vinyls scented Get a Grip! base coat and Fast and Hard top coat in Galactic Unicorn

Femme Friday: Ouija

Happy Friday! Since it's October, I figured that I'd profile some spoopy themed Femmes this month. First up is one of my first Femmes, Ouija.

Everything I Hauled from September's Polish Pickup

Greetings, y'all! I'm here with my latest haul from Polish Pickup!

If you're new to Polish Pickup, it is an online store set up during the first weekend of the month where a bunch of polish makers come together and make exclusive polishes modeled after a common theme. September 2018's theme was horror movies. I don't consider myself a die hard horror fan but I do enjoy them. Especially psychological and werewolf flicks. I get full moon fever whenever I see werewolf related stuff.

Midnight Sophia Wax Warmer nails

A bunch of Yankee Candle fans look forward to new Boney Bunch collectibles every year. I look forward to the Sophia the Cat stuff. Fits into my love of black kitties. Last year's Midnight Sophia line particularly appealed to me. The tealight warmer from that collection is definitely my cutest warmer.

Given how much I love this warmer, it's a no brainer that I'd do nails based on it.

Wax Empties, September 2018 Edition

Greetings, y'all! Got s'more wax empties to share today. I'll be doing these mini reviews in alphabetical order (both brand and wax name).

Caramel Apple nails

Happy first day of October! I love fall in general and October the most out of the months of the year. Can't wait to do all sorts of Halloween themed manis this month! However, I'll start the month with a more general fall related look. Anyone up for caramel apples?
