KBShimmer Jack

Happy Halloween!! The last Halloween manicure I have for you this week is a simple one but oh so pretty.  It is KBShimmer Jack.  This polish is a black jelly base with orange metallic hexes, tiny bars and microglitter. There are also black shard glitters in here as well. It is limited edition but as of right now it is still available here.

Black and Silver Halloween Nails

I have black and silver nails to show you today featuring a Halloween glitter as an accent.  I really think colors like this work for Halloween.  It is not the typical orange and black, but I like this as well.

Dovima (L), Kiss and Spell (M), and Trixie (R)

For this look I used Zoya Dovima, which is a matte black with a beautiful shimmer, Zoya Trixie and KB Shimmer Kiss and Spell. I really like Dovima.  I puchased the whole Zoya Matte Velvet collection (which is available here) and I am so glad I did. One thing that I think is really neat about this collection is that the bottles are all frosted.  That way it is easy to tell which polishes are matte. Zoya Trixie (available here) is described by Zoya as a "stunning light silver with a sparkling metallic foil finish." I totally agree. If you are looking for a good silver polish, this is one to pick up.  As always with Zoya polishes, I didn't have any issues with the formula of either polish.


I used two coats of Dovima on all of my nails except my ring finger, where I did two coats of Trixie. I then used one dabbed coat of KBShimmer Kiss and Spell (available here) as an accent glitter. I then did one coat of HK Girl top coat on all of my nails.  


Kiss and Spell has a fantastic combination of glitter in it.  This polish includes black, orange, green and purple hexes as well as orange, green and purple stars.  There is also a black microglitter in there as well.  I had no problems getting the glitter out of the bottle.  I did dab the glitter on because it tends to wipe off if you try to put it on like a regular polish.  


I had to include a picture of the beautiful shimmer in Dovima.  While I like it matte, which is it's original finish, I love it with top coat.  It is stunning.  I am not a huge fan of black nail polish but I could see myself using this again as a full manicure. Do you like this combination for Halloween? Let me know, I'd love to hear from you!

China Glaze Apocalypse of Color

I have my picks from China Glaze Apocalypse of Color to show you.  This is China Glaze's 2014 Halloween collection.  I didn't purchase all of the colors in the collection, I just picked the three I liked the best. Two are textured polishes and one is a glitter topper. I purchased these polishes at Sally Beauty Supply, but I'm sure they can be found on Amazon as well.

Halloween French Tip

I have a Halloween French Tip on today!  I used a black and orange holographic polish for this look. I used polishes from the Color Club 2013 Halo Hues collection. This collection is all holographic polishes in various colors. While these aren't available in stores as far as I know, they are currently available on Amazon.  For this post I took pictures with and without flash.  The first picture in each set is with flash and the second is without.

Look at that holo!

Zoya Pixie Dust Halloween Manicure

I have a manicure on today that features Zoya Pixie Dust polishes.  These polishes are full of sparkle and dry matte.  They also dry with a bit of a texture.  If that is something that bothers you, it can be easily resolved by using a coat or two of top coat.

Glitter Lambs Fall Pumpkin Collection

Today in the mail I got my Glitter Lambs Fall Pumpkin Collection.  I am so excited to try these out. They look perfect for Fall. These are all glitter toppers, which means they are made to be worn over another color.  As of the time of this post all four are available on her Etsy page here. They are available seperately as well as in a set.  I purchased the set and am really happy I did.  I'm glad I didn't miss out on any of these.  Let's check them out!

October Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box

I received my October Glitter Guilty Pleasures box in the mail today. If you're not familiar with the Glitter Guilty Pleasures box, I'll tell you a little about it.  It is a monthly subscription box that includes one full-sized polish, one mini-sized polish and a special treat.  The full sized polish is selected just for you based on a profile you fill out when you sign up for a subscription.  The mini polish is sent to all subscribers.  The treat varies depending on what month it is. The boxes that arrive in cooler months have chocolate in them, while the warmer months have a different kind of sweet treat in them. Check out my review after the jump!
