Happy Halloween with The Little Lacquer Bean feat. She Sells Seashells

Hello Dahlings!

 

Tonight is Halloween! Am I handing out treats to da kiddlies?

Nope.

My Inky & I are running away for a grown up weekend

of wandering about a new-to-us town

& checking out some of nature's beauty...in da pouring rain.

Yeah, we're weird, but we get to be weird together

& that's what counts in life.

 

I have a new-to-me indie brand to share with y'all today...

The Little Lacquer Bean

 

This delightful lil shop is da baby of none other than

my blogging buddy Miss K from Pink & Polished

 

I stumbled across Miss K's blog when she had less than 100 followers

& fell in lust with her perfectly manicured nails & flawless nail art.

Total artistic envy happening here!

 

2 years or so later, Miss K now has her own brand of polish pretties

& I have her If You Dare... 2014 Halloween collection to show you today.

I bought these funtastic holo treats for myself & you should too!

 

 Look at all those sparkly rainbows!

 

 Da line up ~ Sally Hansen OMGhost,

The Little Lacquer Bean Radioactive Slime, Spooky Night,

Witches Brew & Glow-Stly

 

 This is ONE COAT of OMGhost!

I almost didn't get this polish, but I'm sure glad I did.

If you apply a thickish coat, it doesn't streak like most whites.

It does tend to bubble a tiny smidge, but for undies it's perfect.

(I need to test this for stamping!)

 

I applied 2 smooth coats of each color in a skittle for my base colors. 

 

Pinky & index ~ Witches Brew

Linear rainbow fest happening here!

 

Ring & Thumb ~ Spooky Night

This rich deep blue jelly is more of a scatter holo

with a mix of blue, silver & gold holo glitters

...it also has silver holo stars!

 

Middle ~ Radioactive Slime

WOW!

This put-your-shades-on neon limey yellow has a gentle rainbow.

 

 Starry Night is like a star filled night on mah nails!

 

I slapped on a coat of Sally Hansen Dries Instantly top coat

to get ready for da next step.

I've started using this tc in between layers of nail art.

It's thinner than my beloved Seche Vite, so adds less bulk 

& it dries almost as fast, tho it lacks da thick glossy finish of SV.

 

 I then applied these most awesome Spider Web Full Nail stencils

from She Sells Seashells cuz they are SO much fun & easy to use!

 

 These stencils are large enuf that I cut them in half to cover 2 nails.

 

I then added a lame-assed spider to my index nails

& web French tips to my pinkies & thumbs using Glow-Stly.

I wasn't da polish's fault! I should have used a thinner brush.

Foiled by my own laziness...again. Blerg.

 

I forgive myself cuz look at dat GLOW!!!

Yes siree...

all 4 of these holos do a fantbulous job of glowing-in-da-dark.

Yeah, I know. I missed a spot in my clean up. LOL

Glow-Stly shows off it's sparkly gitd goodness,

but it can't compete with da glow factor of Radioactive Slime!

 

So go get yourself some gitd holo fun at

The Little Lacquer Bean

& some vinyl decal ecstasy at

She Sells Seashells

You know you want it!

 

>^. .^<

 

 Do's nails too bright! I can't sleeps.

Missy is almost as cute as Ciri...almost.

My mom would argue this, but Missy is her cat.

 

Thanks for stopping by &

have some wicked fun tonight!

Boobie nails! ~ TDWP We Love boobies! collection in action

Hello Dahlings!

 

Just some quick nail art are featuring

The Devil Wears Polish We Love Boobies!

 

So while I was swatching these pinks,

this idea for a mani came to mind...

 

 Using both ends of a dotter I made dots on dots that sorta,

maybe, if you squint just right might look like boobies.

I may or may not have cackled gleefully while dotting.

I sealed it all in with a coat of Seche Vite

& continued to snicker at my boobie nails for 2 days.

 

 Da line up ~ I'm Angelic 2 as my base color

Hooray for Boobies! used with da big end of da dotter

to make da lighter color boobies

I'm Precious 2 used with da small end of da dotter

to make nipples on HFB! & random dots on da background

Cashmere used with da larger dotter

to make da darker boobies

Pink Panther used with da small dotter

to make nipples on Cashmere & random dots on da background

 

You can see da swatches of all these pretties HERE

You can get yourself all of these pretties ON SALE at

The Devil Wears Polish We Love Boobies!

 

>^. .^<

 

 Jazz wants you to show you that she has boobies too.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

CNT 52 week Pick n' Mix ~ 80's & 3 dark colors

Hello Dahlings!

 

I am an 80's peep!

I love da 80's neon.

I love da 80's music.

I love da 80's clothes.

I have loved all this stuff since da 80's.

 

For some da 80's are a new retro trend...

...for me da return of da 80's is a fantabulous flashback!

 

This week's Crumpet's Nail Tarts prompts are

da 80's & 3 dark colors.

 

Say WHAT?

 

Da 80's were totally about bright colors

unless you were into da zombie remains of punk rock,

but da 2 didn't mix well socially.

 

Plus I'm still trying to maintain my Halloween themed manis...

 

 ...so I did this 3 dark color dot thing.

Um, yeah.

 

Dots were a very 80's thing.

I used 3 dark colors.

Da 3 polishes used are all choco candy themed.

I win?

 

 Da line up ~ The Devil Wears Polish Chocolate Covered Raisins,

Chocolate Covered Cherries & Mint Chocolate Chip

(Mint Choco Chip was a prototype for Mint Chocolate Bon Bon)

All of these polishes are smooth as butter & dry quickly.

 

 This is 2 coats of Chocolate Covered Raisins.

See da purple peeking out from inside da choco covering?

I love the subtle chrome colors that show under da rainbows

in many of da Chocolate Lovers Reborn collection!

 

These sugar, calorie & guilt free treats are on SALE right now!

So get yourself some of this!!!

 

>^. .^<

 

Is that a cat treat I see?

Simples ~ Gradient with Dots

Hello Dahlings!

 

 This week's Simple's lesson is to do a gradient then add dots over it.

So I did this...

  

 Meh

 Da line up ~ The Devil Wears Polish Mostly Ghostly,

Graveyard Grey, Holo Be Thy Name & Paint It Black.

(Paint It Black is currently retired.)

 

I started with 2 yummilicious coats of Mostly Ghostly.

 

Then I did my 'gradient'.

Da polishes performed beautifully, da f'upping was all on moi.

I used a bit of cosmetic sponge & for all da pouncing about

I couldn't get da colors to blend at da demarcation lines.

 

So I added 3 dots to my ring finger using my largest dotter = Ghost

 

I used da whole word from these

She Sells Seashells Boo Nail Stencils

Using da stencil was so much easier than doing this gradient.

 

I don't know what's wrong with me.

I'm not usually this lame.

 

>^. .^<

 

 

Your claws be so lame I not looking at you.

 

Thanks for stopping by & suffering thru this mani!

Hopefully I'll find my shiz & pull it together soon.
