Happy Halloween!

 Here's my last Halloween mani for the week.  For this look I tried a layering combination. I used Sally Hansen White Veil over OPI Black Spotted over Maybelline Orange Blazes.

I really like how this turned out. Interesting but not too over the top for work.  

Be safe tonight. Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Mani 1 - Spiders Galore

Halloween's almost here and it's time for some fun manis! I'll have one to share with you every day this week starting with these creepy crawlers. I hate spiders but I think these are quite cute.

Products used: Maybelline Sweet Clementine (orange), Color Club Where's the Soiree (black web), Sinful Colors Opal Glitter, Sally Hansen Silver Sweep (spider).

Thanks for stopping by! Happy polishing :)

Color Club Fractured Collection 2011 Swatches, Part 2

Today I have swatches of the second half of the Fractured Collection. You can see the first half of the collection here.

Spitting Image a medium blue over Maybelline Go-Getter Green. I love this combination! Very summer-ry.

Kiss & Break Up a pretty fuchsia crackle. It's somewhat sheer which allows the base color to show through. I layered it over Orly Cotton Candy.

Tattered in Gold is a sheer foil crackle that should be applied in a medium coat. It looks great over pastels. I used Finger Paints Blissfully Blue.

Close-up to show texture. It dries matte but a topcoat brings out the bling.

The colors are fun for the summer, easy to apply and crackles in a few seconds. They look best with a medium coat of fractured polish, too thick and you get too few crackles. My favorites are Tattered in Gold and Splitting Image. Tattered in Gold is a great alternative for those who haven't been able to find the Sally Hansen Gold Crackle, or are overall dissatisfied with the results.
