NOTD: Monster Blood


So simple but I am loving these! That green <3



To begin, as always, I applied a base coat to all my nails. Then I painted 2 coats of Glam Polish Monster Blood.



For the drips I used Whats Up Nails dripping stencils and applied them as shown on each nail. I then painted over with China Glaze Liquid Leather and carefully peeled away the stencil.



To finish I applied a top coat of Seche Vite.

NOTD: Haunted Graveyard


I have been loving all the graveyard nails, so here are mine with the addition of some bats :)



To begin as always I applied a base coat to all my nails. Then I painted 1 coat of Annika White Swan.
For the gradient I applied 4 polishes to the sponge as shown then applied to the nail until I was happy. I used Annika White Swan, China Glaze Change Your Altitude, Barry M Chai and China Glaze Liquid Leather. I actually didn't do the best job with this gradient, however I like the way it made the mani look in the end. I then applied a coat of Seche Vite as I will be using nail vinyls.



For the graveyard I used Whats Up Nails Graveyard stencils and applied to the nail as shown. I then painted the tip of my nail with China Glaze Liquid Leather and carefully peeled away the stencil. I did this on my index, middle and little finger.



On my thumb and ring finger I stamped this bat image from Uber Chic Beauty Halloween-01 using Born Pretty Store Black stamping polish.



To complete I applied a coat of Barry M Matte Top Coat.

NOTD: Pumpkin Patch


I was going to do more stamping than this, but I just couldn't cover up this beautiful polish too much! Just realised that all my Halloween manis so far this year have consisted of images from the same stamping plate.



To start as always I applied a base coat to all nails. Then I painted 2 coats of Glam Polish Say Cheese and Die! which is so beautiful and rather bright!



For the stamping I used what is apparently my new favourite stamping plate, Uber Chic Beauty Halloween-01. I stamped the group of pumpkins on my middle and ring finger, then a single pumpkin on my index finger. I stamped with MoYou London Black Knight and Born Pretty Store Clear Stamper.



To complete I applied a top coat of Seche Vite to all nails.

NOTD: Frankenstein


I was really excited to do these and I love how they have turned out! I smudged Frankenstein's face a little bit though :(



To begin as always I applied a base coat to all nails. Then I painted 2 coats of China Glaze Treble Maker.



On all nails apart from my middle finger I stamped this stitch image from Uber Chic Beauty plate Halloween-01. I stamped with Born Pretty Store black stamping polish and Bundle Monster Monocle stamper.



Again using the same plate, polish and stamper I created a decal of Frankenstein's face using the Uber Chic Beauty Uber Mat. I coloured in the eyes with Barry M Cotton using a dotting tool. I messed up a little because I let the polish get too gloopy, but luckily you can't see it too much once applied. To apply I peeled up the decal, applied a clear coat to my nail, then pressed the decal onto my nail. I used a plastic cuticle pusher to help get rid of any bubbles and creases.



To finish I applied a coat of Barry M Matte Top Coat.

NOTD: Spooky Spiders


As much as I hate spiders, I do love this mani! And this colour has just got me drooling. The pictures really don't do it justice, it's beautiful!



As always I firstly applied a base coat to all my nails. Then I applied 2 coats of the amazing Glam Polish The Ghost Next Door.



Now for the stamping! I used Born Pretty Store black stamping polish and stamped with the Bundle Monster Monocle stamper. All the images are stamped from Uber Chic Beauty plate Halloween-01. I also stamped the same image on my index finger on my little finger, and the same image on my ring finger on my thumb.



To complete I applied a top coat of Seche Vite to all nails.

NOTD: Pumpkin Spice MeeBox


As soon as I saw the colours in September's Pumpkin Spice MeeBox I knew I had to do a smoosh! I almost didn't want to cover it up with the stamping, so I just stamped on 2 nails.
I would have done this last week, but I had a cold :( So I am quickly getting this in before I begin with Halloween manis!



To begin as always I applied a base coat to all nails. Then I applied 2 coats of Lauren B. Beauty Nude No.1.



To create the smoosh I dotted the three colours on a stamper as shown, then I pressed the stamper onto my nail until I was happy with the result. I applied Rainbow Connection Zap Skin Protector around my nail for easier clean up. The three colours used were Lauren B. Beauty Nude No.1, Crabtree & Evelyn Clementine and Leighton Denny Venus Desire.



I was going to stamp in a gold or copper, but the colours I had didn't look right. So I ended up stamping with MoYou London Cafe au Lait which was not included in the MeeBox. I stamped from 2 different places on the Bundle Monster plate BM-S207 using the Bundle Monster Monocle Stamper which were both included in the MeeBox.



To complete I applied a top coat of Seche Vite. I may also see what this looks like with a matte top coat, which I will post on my Instagram.
