Halloween(ish) Water Marble

Hi friends! OMG I cannot believe it is just a few days until Halloween. And then a month later Thanks Giving and so on until the end of the year. Holy crap time flies when you are an adult.

Anyway, if you follow me on IG, you may have seen a sneak peek at a water marble I was desperately trying to not eff up, and guess what? It was a success! By that I mean I managed to get a water marble design on all of my nails (except my thumb - but we're not gonna talk about that).

KBShimmer Fall 2015 Collection (Partial)

Hey y'all! The weather is finally starting to cool down a little here and I LOVE IT. Omg, I know everybody and their dog is talking about fall weather, sweater weather, pumpkin spice latte weather (tho I'm more of a salted caramel kinda gal), but fall is awesome because Texas becomes bearable for a few months and I can go outside and enjoy the gorgeous landscapes without melting into a puddle.

And it means Fall collections! In the past, I wasn't one for vampy fall colors, but I've learned to appreciate a few shades that are fall appropriate. It also helps that Indies put out some incredible collections each season! That's what I have for you all today! I'm sure you have seen the KBShimmer Fall release that came out several weeks ago, but if not, I have a few select polishes from that bunch to share with you all!

China Glaze Monsters Ball Halloween 2013 - Bat My Eyes and Howl You Doin'

Hey friends! Since it is the week of Halloween, I have a lot of really fun, themed posts lined up! First off, I have a couple of awesome glitters from the China Glaze Halloween collection. I always love the polishes that they put out every year, and this year is no exception.

China Glaze - Bat My Eyes (Monsters Ball, Halloween 2013)

 

Bat My Eyes is a black jelly base LOADED with gold hex glitters and tiny orange holographic bar glitters. This polish. Ugh. What a nightmare! It has to be one of the most thick and goopey polishes I have used in a long time, and I will be adding a healthy dose of thinner to it before my next use. But it is soooo pretty! I love love love black jellies with gold glitter. The orange bar glitters are actually great in this too. They add a nice extra depth to the polish, instead of looking like fuzzy bits.

 

 

China Glaze - Howl You Doin' (Monsters Ball, Halloween 2013)

 

Howl You Doin' is a deep plum jelly with purple and orange shard micro glitters. Now this is one sexy polish! I really love the combo of the jelly base color and the irregular shard glitters. Formula was much better that Bat My Eyes.. 2 coats for full coverage. The first coat was a little patchy, but the second covered everything perfectly. It dries a bit on the dull side, so be sure to top it off with a high gloss top coat.



These two are definitely my favorites from the set, but I am starting to get that craving for the black texture as well.

I have a couple of easy Halloween nail art ideas coming up this week that I am really excited to share with you guys! Hope you all have a happy Monday!
