Hello ladies, today I have the Fall 2014 collection from Spellbound Nails to share with you. Ashley mentioned that she was sending these when she sent the final version of Can I Keep You from her Halloween collection but I had no idea what to expect since I hadn't heard anything about a fall collection before. I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled these babies out of the package.

Spellbound Nails Give Up The Ghost Collection (Partial) Swatches & Review

I am super excited to share these swatches with you today! I've been wearing these for a few weeks and I'm so smitten with them. Halloween is quickly approaching, it's already hit the stores, and indie makers are rolling out their collections for every one's favorite holiday. Spellbound Nails' Halloween collection this year is based on the 1995 movie Casper. I must admit I've only seen the whole movie once but these polishes are amazing whether you've seen it or not.

Twinkie Nail Art Challenge September Week4: Dry Brush

*Some of the products in this post were sent to me by the company in exchange for an honest review. As always, all opinions are my own. For more info you can view my disclosure policy here.*

We have come to the end of another month of the Twinkie Nail Art Challenge. I can't wait to see if there will be more prompts for October, I'm hoping for *at least* one Halloween prompt. But this week was the dry brush technique. I think (please correct me if I'm wrong) that this look originated with Chalkboard Nails and was just another technique on my never ending "to try" list. I love how this turned out and can't believe I waited so long to do it.

Hello ladies, how are we all doing today? I think I may be getting sick. My sinuses are driving me nuts, my throat is scratchy, I can't stop coughing and I feel like poo! Ugh, I'm such a horrible person when I'm sick. If I disappear for a while you'll know I'm slowly dying over here lol. But something that did take my mind off it for a while is China Glaze Choo-Choo Choose You:

Hello ladies, anything good happening in your lives? Mine has been pretty uneventful but luckily I've gotten some pretty great nail mail so I have really some cool things to share with you in the coming weeks. And, it's almost October so I can start the Halloween manis. The other day I decided that I was tired of my long (to me) nails and wanted to go back to my super nubs. This happens every couple months but usually I let them grow back out but this time I think I'll keep them for a while. I loved this look on my new shorties.

Today I finally have my swatches and review of Zoya's latest textures, the Ultra PixieDust. I wanted to post them sooner but I had other things that I had to publish first. Hopefully you're not too tired of these yet. I'm still not 100% how I feel about them but maybe I'll have decided by the end of the post. :/

*Some of the products in this post were provided to me by the company in exchange for an honest review. As always, all opinions are my own. For more info you can view my disclosure policy here.*

This weeks prompt of floral is one that I was really looking forward to. If you've been around for any length of time then you know they are one of my favorite things. I had hoped to do something spectacular (aka try some more free hand) but alas time has gotten away with me and I had to fall back on my ole pal stamping. But I did manage to throw in some decals lol :)

The weather here has taken a turn towards fall and I am loving it. The past two days have been pretty cool and I've been able to snuggle under the covers without boiling. Because of this I decided to pull out Unholy Holo from Spellbound Nails Halloween release from last year. I have the apple cinnamon scented version , so it just scream fall to me.

*The products in this post were purchased by me. As always, all opinions are my own. For more info you can view my disclosure policy here.*

Just a quick post for today to show you how I finished off my saran wrap look for the last TNAC. I wanted something that wouldn't really cover up too much of the base but would also add to it. I think the image I used did that pretty well.

I was recently looking at all the vinyls available and decided to try out Sticky Fingers since they were on sale lol. I haven't used any vinyls before and thought if they aren't any good I'm not wasting much money. I got 50 of the regular size black chevrons (please not the picture is after use so only have 40 lol).

I'm sorry about being absent for the past few days. In fact that was the second Sunday in a row that I didn't post. I've just been in another nail slump and I don't know how to get out of it. I've been doing my nails but by the time I start preparing the post I hate them and delete them. I think I only got last week's post up because I had to. I'm not really feeling today's look either but I hate not posting anything.
