Milk, Honey and Pumpkins!

I love discovering new brands, especially indie brands. I recently heard about Love, Angeline polish and decided I needed to try it out.
One of the polishes I got is called Milk & Honey. Milk & Honey is a white crelly base filled with pastel orange, mint, and aqua hex glitters of different sizes. I think I needed to shake mine a bit more as getting the glitters was a tad difficult for me, but overall, I love the way this polish looks. My swatch is 3 thin coats.

I wore Milk & Honey on its own for one day but then I decided to add some seasonally appropriate nail art. PUMPKINS! For my pumpkins and stripes I started with a base of OPI Where Did Suzi's Man-go. I then outlined my pumpkin and added sparkle to my stripes with Nail Pattern Boldness Fraken-pussy. That name still cracks me up. My stems are China Glaze Mahogany Madness and the vines are a mix of China Glaze I'm With the Lifeguard and Color Club Wild Cactus.
So what do you think of my pumpkins? I'm really shocked by how much I've improved since last year. I remember being so proud of those nails and this year there is a night and day difference.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

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
