Top Shelf Lacquer: Halloween 2015

Hey guys! Happy Thursday! I hope everyone has been having a great week so far. I'm so ready for Friday! Anyways, I don't know about you, but I'm so excited for Halloween. It's actually one of my favorite holidays even though I get scared with everything. LOL One of the things I like about Halloween are all the Halloween inspired polishes that indie brands release! And so here's Top Shelf Lacquer's Halloween collection, more details below!

Top Shelf Lacquer will be releasing a 4 piece collection featuring 3 vibrant microglitter, full coverage jellies and a gorgeous black crelly! The Halloween 2015 collection will be released tomorrow, Friday September 11th. You can purchase them by clicking here. They will be available as a set for $36 (full size, 13.2 ml) or $23 (Polish Shots, which are mini polishes that hold 8 ml). You can also purchase them individually.

Polish Shots, aren't they cute!?

Black Widow is a black crelly with multiple colors of chrome flakies. I wore 3 thin coats plus a coat of top coat.

This is so perfect for Halloween! I mean it's black so, duh! But those gorgeous flakies really make this polish so unique. The black base is not overpowering so the flakies are easily seen. Great formula and application.

Slime Rickey is a green and gold full coverage microglitter jelly with a slight texture. I wore 3 thin coats with a coat of top coat.

This is like the perfect shade of green for Halloween! It was really easy to get full coverage. Love it!

Dracula's Kiss is a purple and gold full coverage microglitter jelly with a slight texture. I wore 3 thin coats with a coat of top coat.

I'm totally loving this shade of purple. I definitely see myself wearing this for fall as well, not just Halloween. Plus, the formula and application was great!

Candy Corn Cordial is an orange and gold full coverage microglitter jelly with a slight texture. I wore 3 thin coats plus a coat of top coat.

Another perfect polish for Halloween. I'll definitely be doing some nail art with these, they go so well together! The formula and application was great on this one too.

Overall, I'm really liking this collection. I feel like these can also be used for other occasions and not just Halloween so that's definitely a plus. The Halloween 2015 collection will be available tomorrow, Friday September 11th. Click here to purchase.

What do you guys think about this collection?

Twinsie Tuesday: Ocean Inspired

Hey guys! I hope everyone had an awesome Labor Day weekend! My boyfriend's birthday was this weekend so I was pretty busy. I'm excited for today's post because we have 3 new Twinsie Tuesday members! Say hello to Sara from The Call of Beauty, Alice from Nail Art in Wonderland, and Sarah from Partly Cloudy With a Chance of Lacquer. This week's theme is ocean inspired, my favorite type of nail art. So check out what I did down below!

I love anything ocean inspired, especially mermaids! So of course I had to do mermaid nails. It actually worked out perfectly because I had been wearing Femme Fatale's Glass Coffin (which is gorgeous, by the way!) for about a week and I think it goes perfectly with the theme.

So I used Glass Coffin as my base, placed Stick It! mermaid nail vinyls and dabbed Painted Polish in a gradient using (starting from cuticle) Nautical by Nature; Hey, Sailor!; and I'm on a Boat.

I finally got to use my golden shells! And I topped it off with two coats of top coat. I loved these vinyls. They were so easy to use, I definitely recommend them.

I hope you guys like what I created! Make sure to check out what the rest of the girls did down below.

Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired By A Flag

Hey guys! Happy first! I hope everyone's month started off awesome. I'm excited to be back with my fellow Twinsie Tuesday girls! We went on a break for a month because of summer but now we're back! This week's theme is 'inspired by a flag'. Check out what I did below!

It's been a while since I posted a Twinsie Tuesday post! I really enjoy doing these because I rarely do nail art now with all the swatching I was doing. That's my goal this month though, do more nail art! lol Anyways, back to the prompt. So because it's Labor Day weekend this weekend, I decided to do nails inspired by the US flag!

These were super easy to do! I used Different Dimension's Big Bang as my base and splattered Look Nail Color in Rocket's Red Glare, Oh Say Can You See, and Broad Stripes, Bright Stars. All topped with Glisten & Glow Hk Girl top coat!
