Monday's Nail Art for Short Nails

Lately more often than I would normally like I have been rocking some nubbin nails but they have really started to grow on me. A friend pointed me in the direction of an awesome collaboration of bloggers that every Monday create a post dedicated for the nubby challenged nails which is perfect to get me more comfortable with my new length. For this mani I decided to keep it pretty simple but I think the simplicity adds to the dramatic effect.

I started off with two coats of Loreal She's So Matte and then stamped using Color Club Twiggie and Cult Nails Tempest over it. I used the Bundle Monster Holiday set to create some zombie nails perfect for Halloween and the Walking Dead episode last night but mostly perfect for me because I LOOOOOVVVEEEE zombies!!! For the accent nail I put on Tempest and Twiggie and the same time and just carefully scraped. It's almost impossible not to get the colors to mix a little but either way I still love the haunting effect of the green zombie flesh over a matte black.

Pinterest Inspired: Fox Nails

Tonight I was browsing Pinterest and found a super cute fox mani. I had to try it as soon as possible and so I tried it tonight and this is what I came up with. I kept it as close to the original as I could except for I added some black acrylic paint around the ears to the define them. For my base I used 0PI Call Me Gwen-ever. To draw the Fox I use Zoya Farah and black acrylic paint using a detail brush, a dotting tool and toothpicks. 

Just for fun I added a camera filter using PicsArt shown here in the last photograph.

Just wanted to quickly share my mani from last night for the finale of Breaking Bad. Polishes used were: Cult Nails Riot, Mayhem, Tempest & Fetish, Zoya Yummy & Farah,Sinful Colors Envy, Maybelline Bold Gold, Rainbow Honey Heisenberg, and China Glaze Running in Circles. Decals are from my friend Samantha of Justonemorebottle. Stamping was done using various plates including Pueen and BundleMonster.

NOTD Picture Polish Cosmos + Stamping

Today I have Picture Polish Cosmos with stamping using vivid lacquer plate 12 using Pure Ice Silver Mercedes.

And just for fun I used some special effects on picsart to make it look more cosmic.

I am so excited for Fall and Halloween that I just couldn't wait til October to release the monsters! My friends and I were looking through Pinterest the other night and I saw this one and knew I just had to try it out for myself. For my base I used China Glaze Def Defying and then acrylic paint for the details. I then added a matte top coat which I loved even more. It gave it almost a comic book type effect. Definitely going to be trying some more manis from pinterest soon. I have never really browsed there that much but there are so many amazing nails out there so it's going to be fun!

Rainbow Honey - Heisenberg

Happy Breaking Bad day everyone!! Today is the season premiere of the final episodes of Breaking Bad and I can't wait to see what is in store for Jesse and Walter aka Heisenberg after that absolutely insane cliffhanger of an ending!  Rainbow Honey created a special Limited Edition polish just for this very occasion that in no way resembles a certain blue glass substance *cough* Ummmm yeah....no resemblance at all. This polish is absolutely perfect and  is definitely up to Mr. White's high standards of quality.

Heisenberg is a beautiful mixture of silver, blue, and holographic glitter in a clear base. Formula wise it was good and was not goopy at all. It was easy to apply and the glitter coverage is great. I believe you could get this opaque on it's own in three coats but I chose to apply two coats over Cult Nails Party Time to help give it an extra blue tint. This glitter isn't a topcoat eater either and was smooth after just one coat of Seche Vite. I did add an extra one just in case because sometimes it takes a while for the topcoat to get eaten.

Heisenberg is the Limited Edition polish of the month over at Rainbow Honey and is available on it's own for $10 a bottle or will come free with a purchase of $50 or more.
