Nail Pattern Boldness: Bitches Brew

Today I have my final Halloween mani for y'all. I had another interview yesterday, so I wore my base of China Glaze Jungle Queen, for a day before adding the extra elements.
The next day I added a layer of Nail Pattern Boldness Bitches Brew. Love the name, love the polish.
Bitches Brew is a fantastic glitter topper that contains tiny orange hexes, tiny yellow and green squares, small purple, orange, and bright blue hexes. It is so freaking bitchin' plus it has all the halloweeney colors, so who can complain?
After wearing this on its own for a while, I was all, I'm going to stamp on an awesome ghost and it'll be so freaking great. Unfortunately, I wish I hadn't done the stamping bit, but in the world of honest blogging, here is my fail.
Jungle Queen is a kind of greyed purple creme but it has a fantastic brighter purple shimmer in it. Sadly, I wasn't able to capture the shimmer on my nails, but you can see it in the bottle shots. It is so freaking pretty in real life.

I used Konad White stamping polish and BM-223 for the ghost and W-116 for BOO!

Awaiting the Great Pumpkin...

Do you ever see a polish and think that has to be mine? Because that is pretty much my entire polish buying experience. The other day I was broswing on Nail Pattern Boldness' site, and I came across a Halloween polish called Fraken-Pussy. First off, best name ever, second it was GORGEOUS so of course it immediately went in my cart because I'm a sucker for pretty polish.
Once Fraken-pussy (ha!) arrived, I decided I wanted to pair some nail art with it. How can you not do some Halloween nail art with some Halloween themed polish?
Fraken-pussy (ha!) is an orange micro-glitter polish with a smattering of chartreuse, green, and purple glitters. Seriously it's amaze-balls! On my ring finger I applied a base of China Glaze Kalahari Kiss then used a sponge to dab on some Fraken-pussy (ha! I'm real mature, I know) in a round shape on the bottom. Once that was done I used orange, green, and brown acrylic paint to freehand the details on the pumpkin.
I loved this manicure and I was so bummed that I had to take it off, so I could put on a "interview appropriate" mani. But the good news was I got a second interview for a job I want, so yay me!
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

A couple of weeks ago I asked on Twitter and Facebook what people thought of using acrylic paints for nail art? I've seen other bloggers use it, and I was curious. Do people consider it cheating in nail art? I ordered a little set online and tested it out on my first Halloween look ever!
I started out with a base of Bedtime Paradox by Flossy Lacquers. This is a squishy black jelly filled with holographic glitters and white hexes. It becomes opaque after 3 layers, and I love the way the polish layers and how the glitters peek through. It's so awesome.

After letting my base dry, I added on some skulls and bones to the tips in white and black acrylic paint. The acrylic paint doesn't dry as fast, so it makes it really easy to work with. Plus if you screw up, it comes right off. AND if you get any on your skin, just wash your hands after you topcoat your design. Seeing as it was my first time working with it, it wasn't perfect, but I can see why people like using them for detailed designs.
Have you done any Halloween designs? Please leave a link in the comments, as I would love to see them!
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
