Halloween Challenge: Trick or Treats

So I belong to a wonderful Facebook group where they are always doing challenges and this month they have put together The Halloween Challenge! The Facebook group is Crumpet's Nail Tarts. And the Halloween Challenge is simple, post an specific challenge just twice a week! Twice a week? That's all? I can do that! Sa-weet!

So today's challenge was Trick or Treats (candy corn etc). Well I took that to heart and made some candy corn! Oh I love that sickly sweet stuff! (It gets even better when it's a bit stale!). And some random candies!

I promise, this is a different photo than the one above! Cross my heart! For my base I used Pure Ice Platinum Magic Base Coat, I think this is my new favorite white! I then painted directed onto a makeup wedge sponge thingy Klean Color Metallic Mango (orange) and Mayer Disney Villains Evil Queen 37. I pressed that onto my finger and was happy that it actually turned out! I love it when things work out as planned, don't you? :) I then stamped using Bundle Monster BM306 using Konad Black.

I love how this turned out. It looks complicated but it's easy-peasey! :)

Here is our list for the full challenge! (click on image to be sent to the group!)

And here are the other wonderful ladies doing the challenge!

LOSTathon: Season 5

Day 5 = Season 5 LOSTicure

Here is my representation of season 5 of LOST:

Thumb: represents the remains (foot with four toes) of the statue of Taweret where Jacob lives. This is also where Jacob dies.

Pointer: RIP Jacob.

Middle: represents Sawyer's name, James "Jim" LaFleur that he takes in 1974-77 when working for the Dharma Initiative.

Ring: represents the Ajira Airways plane that the Oceanic 6 took to get back to the island.

Pinkie: the chain represents the chain that pulls Juliet down the Swan's metal shaft, she falls down the shaft and trapped, hits the bomb with a rock until it explodes. Her death (which occurs a bit later) was really sad because I liked her and Sawyer together and I was sad for Sawyer.

Here are the technicals for the mani:

Thumb: Finger Paints Go van Gogh!, Sally Hansen Deep Blue Sea, China Glaze Ingrid, OPI Skull & Glossbones, and Sally Hansen Silver Sweep.

Pointer: Mayer Disney Villains Ursula 39 and Wet n' Wild Black Creme.

Middle: Essence You Belong to Me, Cheeky image plate CH 14, KleanColor Metallic Sapphire, and Wet n' Wild Black Creme.

Ring: Zoya Sooki and American Crafts Travel Rub-ons.

Pinkie: OPI Sparrow Me the Drama and Sally Hansen Silver Sweep.

What did I love about this season?

-that Jin isn't dead like you thought in the previous season!

-Daniel's and Charlotte's relationship and the story she tells him before she dies about meeting him when she was a child.

-finding out that the smoke monster resides under the temple

-a lot more scenes with Richard

-finding out that Locke isn't really dead....or is he....da da daaaaaaa! :)

-learning more about Jacob

What did I hate about this season?

-I didn't really like the off island scenes.

-Daniel getting shot by his own mother when she was younger! (mind trip!)

-the whole scene with Juliet being pulled down the shaft (poor Sawyer!)

-Ben killing Jacob

Disney Villains Swatches Part 4

Ok, so this is Part 4, and final part, of my swatches for my Disney Villains that I received from Nicole at Epitome of Superficiality. Click the link to see her swatches that she has done! Also check out Lindsey's swatches over at Neverland Nail Blog! These polishes are made by Mayer Cosmetics and seem to be only found in Singapore (that we know of so far!). Click the following links to see Part 1 and Part 2 and Part 3. And now, let Part 4 commence!

 

Let me introduce you once again to the Old Hag from Snow White but this time it is 32. The color reminds me a bit of her face on the bottle, just not as orange. This is a type of frost (I think). This is one coat. It was kind of goopy to apply but not too bad.

This is two coats and still a tiny bit sheer. It's not a bad brown and probably would pop with some glitter added to it! :)

Look at her in direct sunlight! So very pretty! I think it would just look fabulous with some holo glitter applied over it! :)

Here is the marvelous Ursula 39 from the Little Mermaid! Gorgeous! It is a light silvery-grey shimmery base with some holo glitters! This is one coat.

Here is two coats of her evilness! You can't really see the holo glitter all that much.....here let me help you out!

See the holo glitters! There aren't a ton but there are enough to make it interesting and fun! :) I love this one, holo and shimmer! Yes please. In fact I like it so much that after all the swatching I chose to do a mani with this polish.

First I started out with two coats of OPI Skull & Glossbones. This is such an awesome grey from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection.

Now here is one coat of Ursula 39 over Skull & Glossbones. They are pretty close in color so it was a good base for Ursula.

Isn't it pretty! Look at the bits of holo! This is a fun subtle mani that is appropriate for many events! This doesn't have SV on it but I've added it since and been wearing it for 3 days now and it hasn't chipped yet! Love! :)

Disney Villains Swatches Part 3

Ok, so this is Part 3 of my swatches for my Disney Villains that I received from Nicole at Epitome of Superficiality. Click the link to see her swatches that she has done! Also check out Lindsey's swatches over at Neverland Nail Blog! These polishes are made by Mayer Cosmetics and seem to be only found in Singapore (that we know of so far!). Click the following links to see Part 1 and Part 2. And now, let Part 3 commence!

Here is Maleificent 49 from Sleeping Beauty! She is a shimmery minty green. This is obviously one coat and it is super sheer. Would be kind of fun trying her over other colors! :)

 

 Two coats and still a bit sheer, so perhaps three coats would have been better. But isn't she gorgeous!?

Here she is in full sun! Shiny shiny! I don't think I have another green like her! I'm excited!

Another Maleficent! But this time it is 47 and a stunning purple! Loved this one a lot! The only drawback was that she was a bit thicker. See what looks like tip wear but isn't! I will need to wrap my tips with her. But she is super duper gorgeous! This is one coat.

Two coats and simply stunning! Look at it! I mean really look! She's shimmery and glass flecked! Love! And now for the money shot!

 

Gah! Have you ever?! Look at that color and shine and shimmer! Look at the pop of color on my pointer finger at the top!!!! A little holo perhaps maybe? I don't know but I love it! Made the picture bigger because she deserves it! :)

Disney Villains Swatches Part 2

Ok, so this is part two of my swatches for my Disney Villains that I received from Nicole at Epitome of Superficiality. Click the link to see her swatches that she has done! Also check out Lindsey's swatches over at Neverland Nail Blog! These polishes are made by Mayer Cosmetics and seem to be only found in Singapore (that we know of so far!). Click the following link to see Part 1. And now, let Part 2 commence!

Meet the Queen of Hearts 54 from Alice and Wonderland! She is the polish that leaked a little (you can see some discolor on her image and on the bottom rim). She is a sparkly, glass flecked, jelly-like pink! Lover-ly! This is one coat, sheer with VNL (visible nail line).

Two coats of goodness! Like I mentioned in my previous post, these polishes going on really nicely! Smooth application without mess!

In direct sunlight to show off her shiny goodness! Look at that! Love the sparkle!!!!!

Here I dipped my fingers in egg yolk! No, it's The Evil Queen 37 from Snow White (non old hag version)! At first I wasn't too sure about this color. It is super duper sheer! (Actually it looks like I colored my nails with a hi-liter!) But think of what it would look like as a jelly sammich!? I'm going to have to play with it some more.

This is two coats. With it being so sheer my nail tips make it look like I did a french mani! Couldn't you just see some silver glitter in there as a sammich!? I'm also wanting to try it with Edward from Essence's Nail Art Twins. I don't have that one yet but soon I will!

Here she is in direct sunlight. I am still a bit iffy about the color, I love it in the bottle but on me.....not too sure. Need to play around with it. Do you ladies have any ideas on what I could do with her to love her more? :)

Disney Villains Swatches Part 1

Ok, so this is part one of my swatches for my Disney Villains that I received from Nicole at Epitome of Superficiality. Click the link to see her swatches that she has done! Also check out Lindsey's swatches over at Neverland Nail Blog! These polishes are made by Mayer Cosmetics and seem to be only found in Singapore (that we know of so far!). This is probably going to be a four part swatch event! Didn't want to flood you with too many pictures, even if they are gorgeous! :)

Like Lindsey mentions her post, this polishes don't have names, so I too will refer to them as their villain and the number on the bottom. Meet the Old Hag 18 from Snow White! This is one coat. It is pretty sheer but a lovely mauve-like color. I'm assuming it is a jelly? I don't have any so I have nothing to compare it to but other pictures.

 

Here is two coats. Still sort of sheer. You can still see my nail line especially on my ring finger. These polishes went on really nice and smooth. All my pictures are with no clean up!!!! Love! This color reminds me a lot of the colors my mother use to wear! :)

Her is the Old Hag in direct sun. So pretty!

Meet Cruella De Vil 38! Another pink jelly! She is more pink than the Old Hag who had a more purple undertone. At first I thought they were the same color, but they're not! :)

Two coats here. And still sheer! A wonderful polish for making a jelly sammich! I'm excited!

Two coats in direct sun. Gorgeous! A pretty deep pink.

Ok, so I left my thumb with the Old Hag 18 on it and my other four fingers have Cruella De Vil 38. See you can tell the difference! Cruella is definitely more sheer and more pink!
