Rich kisses

These dark dark vampy blackened red shimmers are my weakness… Sinful Color’s Rich In Heart is one of the better ones both in color and formula. It applies without issues, dries fast and has a lovely red glow to it.

I wanted to make the manicure a bit more interesting and decided to practice my stamping again. I used Gina Tricot’s Raspberry which worked better then expected for stamping. I like the result 🙂

For some reason I’m holding Sinful Color’s Secret Admirer instead of Rich In Heart in the photographs… Hmm… The combination looks nice though. Maybe some kind of tape mani with these two?

Addictive

I have a slight addiction… To dotting tools 😀

Wet N’ Wild’s Red Tape was nearly impossible to get opaque on it’s own… At four coats there was still visible nail line. So, Essie’s Spaghetti Straps acted as underwear for this awesome bright red crelly. Lastly I dotted with Gina Tricot’s Line Up, which made this look quite summery and reminds me of strawberries. And with that we’re back to the usual seasonal mismatching going on here 😛

Elusive holo

Ahh, lovely lovely holo. Color Club’s Revvvolution is a lovely gray holographic polish. As usual it’s hard to photograph so imagine a lot more rainbows… Ahh. Perfect coverage in two coats and it dried very fast.

This has been on my wish list for quite some time. When I got it from one of the birthday group ladies I was thrilled 🙂

Mustard tapestry

More dots! I’m not so sure about this base color… Gina Tricot’s Must Have is a mustard yellow creme with a perfect formula. Pretty though? Njeh. I dotted Gina Tricot’s dusty forest green creme Forest Night on top and liked it a lot more 🙂

Halloweenish dotticure

Another Halloween appropriate manicure… What on earth is going on? 🙂 Gina Tricot’s Pump the Breaks has a pumpkin orange base with golden shimmer and it really looks like some kind of delicious fruit candy. Omnom. For the dots, OPI’s black creme Mourning Glory as usual.

Alpine lace

How could I lack a proper white polish when I own over 300 bottles? Ah, no one knows… 🙂 I’ve been wanting to buy this lovely chalky white creme for a long while but never got around to it. Today my lovely boyfriend surprised me with it; OPI’s Alpine Snow. The first two coats were streaky but the third made it opaque.

I used dotting tools to apply Gina Tricot’s Petrol on top and for a first try at this kind of design I’m quite pleased 🙂

Tiny spiders

My intention with this was to create a creepy spider themed Halloween manicure… Yeah, I know. These are as creepy as lollipops, unicorns and kittens together. They’re so adorable and were alot of fun to paint and dot 😀

HM’s Happy Hour is the base and lovely to work with; fast drying time, perfect coverage in two coats and a lovely fall-ish color. For the cute spiders I used OPI’s Mourning Glory and a white polish from Depend (color number worn off).

 

Simple dots

Kleancolor’s Concrete Gray is such a pretty creme. This time around the formula was better due to the huuuge amount of thinner I used 🙂 the drying time was decent and it’s pretty much a one coater. I added dots of China Glaze’s Four Leaf Clover.

Dead ringer

This one was so fun to paint/dot 🙂

I used Mourning Glory (pics without top coat. So shiny!) from OPI’s Halloween set So Skullicious for the base and the three other colors from the set for the dots/rings. Candlelight for the yellow ones, Hi, Pumpkin! for the orange ones and lastly A-Rose From The Dead for the pink ones.

Bloody entertainment

I wanted to make a truly Halloween themed manicure and decided to try one of the easier ones, blooood. I used Orly’s blood red Grave Mistake and I like the result a lot 😀
