My Official All Hallows Eve Manicure! I love Halloween if you hadn't guessed!

Idecided to go classic Vamp for my official Halloween nails!
Traditional Gothic era Vamp!
Why yes I did actually file my nails to a point!
I used Risque Rebu as my base color
(Thank you Sarah of Look at them pretty colors )
I need 6 more bottles of this perfect jelly blood red
I very carefully outlined the entire free edge in black creme using NOX Twilight Black Tie
It's a detail few would notice but I like how it defines the edge
I also did a thin coat of holographic silver under my nails with Glam Nails Rainbow.
They look like little holo headstones. lol
Classic, chic, Vampy, evil, sexy and a bit creepy....all the things I love!

A little Halloween gift to you my lovely readers......

I love you all so dearly that I though for Halloween you deserved something very special....
I give you my HEART!
Muahahahahahahahaha!
Oh it get's worse
As you can tell I'm a bit of a "bleeding heart"
Maybe I should've saved this idea so you could be my Bloody Valentines!
*giggle*
The glamour shot!
Before the gore....sort of
Even Dexter fears my claws
The Base color is China Glaze Encouragement
Then I sponged Impala Matte Vermelo veludo at the very tips for depth and darkness
(Thank you Sarah)
Then I sponged a layer of China Glaze Dripping wet just over it for a thick wet look
Last I sponged Risque Niasi Cremoso for a perfect blood spatter
(again thank you Sarah)
And topped it all with a coat of Seche Vite

I love the way this turned out...just like it was in my head. (a scary place few dare to roam)
I have a couple of less gorey Halloween mani's coming

OPI Go Goth and Big hugs for Kris

This was an all too kind gift from KrisInPhilly of My Lucid Bubble
In low light it is easy to under estimate this set of Gothic gorgeousness!

The packaging is adorable and the lace wristcuff...well you know I'll be wearing it!
2 coats of Unripened in shade. Pretty but....
In sunlight this deep blackened blue with duochrome shimmer is so beautiful!
Nevermore in shades is sweet

In sunlight this hot navy with fuschia shimmer is as badass as the band!

In the shade Sanguine is sexy...

In the sunlight you'll catch yourself drooling on your favorite studded leather bondage pants!

Obscurity is obscure in shade...

and obscenly matte worthy in sunlight!
Love this set and I need full size bottles of these...NOW!

Zoya Wonderful

Zoya's Wicked and Wonderful collection

These are the 6 Wonderful shades.
All vampy fall cremes

Shawn is a great dark olive green.


Cola is a fun deep brick red creme.


Kristi is a sweet pink toned red.


Burke is a great deep rose.

Stacy is a yummy wine creme.

Kelly is a dark blue based gray creme.

All were opaque in 2 thin coats. The formula is very nice as usual with Zoya.
You can find this collection here
I really love the contrast in Wicked and Wonderful!

Bloodstone Manicure

I bought the most gorgeous ring from a friend and Artisan on Etsy, HandcraftedCarolyn
Carolyn is not only an absolute doll but she is an amazing jewelry artist. She makes Earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces, sets and custom pieces. Her prices are great and I personally adore her!
This is the ring she made for me.

It is a hand carved Bloodstone rose on silver wrapped wire and I love it so much that I did my nails to match.
The ring fits perfectly and is so comfortable and so beautiful!

I used Nfu-oh 569 as my base and random dots with konad special polish in red.
(Don't panic, I did not cut my nails, this is my right hand. I cut them down to the nailbed about 7 weeks ago for a review of some cute glue on nails.)
I absolutly looooooove this ring and the Artisan who made it. I want more!
Carolyn also sent me a lovely pair of earrings that match my hair! (well the back of my hair)

If you are looking for some beautiful handmade jewelry from an amazing artist, co check out Carolyn's etsy shop here you will love her and her sparklies!

The ring was purchased with my own money and the views in this post are my honest opinion!

Everyone loves Erotic Nights

BB Couture Erotic Nights is a gorgeous deep red jelly.
All pictures are taken in my lightbox and are 3 coats with one coat of Seche Vite.

This leans just slightly brown but not really too warm
The name truly suits. Such a sexy color.
I love that you can see the squishy jelly finish but there is no visible nail line.
I obviously gravitate to blood red jellies
I think I need to do a red Jelly comparison.
This one looks very similar to my beloved OPI Vampire State Building.
