Hello!
It's the most wonderful tiiiiime of the yeeeeeaaaarrrrr...Halloween time!
(Okay, I actually love Christmas just as much, but I couldn't resist...)
So, let us begin the parade of Halloween manis with a great new plate, UberChic Beauty's Halloween 04! Here's the video review I did of the plate:
And here's a closer look:

As always, UberChic Beauty's full-nail images are 1.7 x 2.1 cm, and here's a shot of the other images with a ruler:
Here are the swatches I did in the video:
And let's dive into the manis! For my first mani, I just HAD to do something with that negative space image, so I combined it with the spiderweb image to make this bundle of holo goodness:

I call this manicure 'Saturday night in my attic', lol! I started with a base of China Glaze OMG on the ghost nails, and Sally Hansen Blacky O on the others. Then I stamped with Kaleidoscope Black and Hit The Bottle Polish Holo There Beautiful.
For my next mani, I layered the pumpkin images...they aren't meant to be layered, but I discovered with another set of images like these that you can get cool tri-color effects that way. I started with a base of Stella Chroma Pumpkin Everything, from their Fall Mattes collection releasing on Sept 22nd (see my review of the collection here) which is the perfect base of this--the orange with the green shimmer is so perfectly pumpkin! Then I stamped with Messy Mansion Pudding, and then stamped my second image with Messy Mansion Carbon. Finally, I stamped the words with Messy Mansion Carbon and Soft Gold:

For my last mani, I wanted to go for something simple...one might even say basic...I started with a base of Zoya Jancyn, then stamped my images with Kaleidoscope Black:

I love this--don't get me wrong, I love an intricate mani, but I also love a simple, fun mani sometimes and this hits it for me. How adorable is that witch?!
And, okay, one more...I showed you this one already, though, because it's a combination of images from UberChic Beauty Lovely Leaves 3 and Halloween 4 (you can find the full details here):
I call that one 'Haunted Forest!"
You can find this plate now over in UberChic Beauty's shop, and you know I'll be back with more manis featuring this plate...

lol, "Saturday night in my attic". This should be a writing prompt, now I want a short story!
ReplyDeleteThat ghost is adorable. And I'm liking the "basic witch", hah, looks great.
Have fun this month! :)
