BRAAAAAAAAAAAAINS

Soooo I won Llarowe's Lynnderella lottery!!!! [that's a lot of L's] I'm super happy, and I got to place my order on all the pretties that I was drooling over from the new collection:] Eeeeeeee so happy! So to celebrate, I'm showing one of my existing Lynnderellas, Gotta Love Brains from the Early Halloween line. I can't describe nearly as well as Lynn can, so I'm stealing her description for it: "Sheer neutral grey base with pink shimmer and scattered silver, gunmetal, pink, silver, periwinkle, aqua and lavender squares and multiple-size hexagons. Also contains holgraphic bars. Spooky. And ever so brainy. " This is amazing, really. The effect is almost like Revlon Whimsical, but different glitter. I have one coat of GLB over Revlon Dreamer to make a soft blue-ish grey effect. The problem though, is that it came out a liiiiittle bit streaky with just one coat, but I really wanted to make sure the blue wasn't covered up. I'm sure it'll look great over grey! Definitely have to try that next time.





2 coats of Dreamer, 1 of GLB and you get this amazingness:]


EDIT: Wooooooooooooo, baby! I'm 1 follower away from 200! Almost time for a giveaway!!:]

Phantom + Cauldron Drippings

Hi! I have another Halloween mani for you today:] I finally found some Fright Night Claw polishes yesterday at Target [side note, my Rite Aid FINALLY put out the pumpkin polishes today]. So I had to put it on, clearly.
It's a really pretty shimmery gray.. There's these like flecks of pink & blue in there.

Then, I added Lynnderella's Cauldron Drippings. This polish is insane, with green, purple, blue, black, white, gold, & then a LOT of orange glitter in so many shapes & sizes.. Insane & gorgeous & Halloween in a bottle.

& because I can't leave anything alone, I stamped [with Wet n' Wild Black] a spiderweb on my tips. It didn't look bad, but it wasn't very noticeable.. Oh well.


Hmm. I need to try this stamp over something else..

Zombie Flesh Franken!

Hey, guys! Today I have one of my favorite frankens for you:] It's part of my Halloween franken series I'm doing for myself haha. Zombie Flesh is a dirty gray with purple, green, & black glitter; & purple & green hex glitter. 
2 coats, if I remember correctly!

I used Love & Beauty's Green, Magenta, & Purple/Black [all glitters], Revlon Smoky Canvas [for the dirtiness of it], Sally Hansen Whirlwind White, and Wet n' Wild Black Creme.


Close up of the glitter!

I really like this one, it's a little bit creepy to me, but in a good way:] I have a few Halloweeny frankens that I can't wait to show here this coming week!!

SH Gray by Gray Layering!

Gah, sorry it's taking me a while to respond to comments! I had 2 back-to-back exams this morning, blehhh. But now they're done! & I can  paint my nails, so all's right with the world again;]

I had on Sally Hansen's Gray by Gray for my exams. This is one of my favorite colors, I bought it when I was just really starting to get into nail polish [the first one was OPI's Ski Teal You Drop]. It's a perfect 2 coats to bluey-gray perfection [slate? is that it? haha]

I need to say, I really like the SH brushes.. I know not everyone's a fan, but I am!! :]
Then today in my break between classes, I added on 2 coats of Milani's Totally Cool. It turned it into this kind of dusty purple with this pinkish, goldish flaky shimmer in the shade, but in direct light, the dustiness really comes out & I'm in love.

I'm writing this post from class [shh, don't tell!!] & I keep staring at it. PS sorry for the lack of clean up! I had to run out to get to class on time:/
