Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did one Halloween Mani this year and it was for Barielle's Halloween Nail Art contest
I didnt win, but that's fine with me, I had fun doing it.:)

Halloween Cats!! using Barielle's Very Bare as a base, Berry Blue,Island Breeze and Swizzle Stix for the "gradient" then stamped with Tres Chic and Banana Drop for stamping

Revlon Nail Art Chalkboard Polishes

I found Revlon nail art chalkboard polishes in Rite Aid yesterday! They were having a 40% off sale on all Revlon products so how could I resist? I loved how they looked on the display. I quickly put it on today, using the blue and purple chalk part of the polishes:

I didnt put any top coat on because I didnt want to lose the chalk look. These polishes retail for 8.99 , but if you shop at Rite Aid a lot like me you get a discount off of that.
The black part of the polish went on great! It covers in one coat although I used two. I think I was a bit heavy handed on the chalk part, it takes some practice. I think I might see if stamping with these will work...

Impala Disco "Sex Appeal" Swatch & Review

Impala Disco Sex Appeal is a duochrome polish, its so pretty! I don't have many duochromes or this color. This color seems to be different than most others and I think thats why I like it so much. It shifts from an amber color, to pink and to an orangy copper color. The application was smooth and coverage was normal (two coats). I tried to capture how it changes , I dont think I did it justice but here are the photo's

I received this polish from a friend that I work with who lives in Brazil. Pretty huh?

OPI Purple With Purpose and a beaded nail (oops!)

OOOHH this manicure did not come out as planned, it looks like a big oops!! First I want to say that I do love the OPI polish Purple With Purpose, its so pretty and of course applies nicely. For the beading my first mistake was thinking the purples matched, nope once the beads were on it was obvious, hahah. I think I should have used smaller beads too. I applied the beads by painting "The Best Glue Ever" mixed with a little water on my painted nail, then I dipped my nail in the beads, they applied perfect!! Just the wrong color and a bit too big, see?

Soooo lesson learned, make sure the colors match and the beads are smaller hahahah
