Halloween Nail Art Challenge - 13 Ghosts

This is 'The Totally Doable Halloween I Have a Life Challenge."  This was created by Jasmine over at CaliforNails!  You can find her on Instagram @californials, Facebook, You Tube, Twitter and I am sure a multitude of other social networking forums. Check her out, her nail art if fabulous!

This was a fun design and so simple with the classic combo of black and white.  I used Sally Hansen's White On and Born Pretty's Matte Black.

Born Pretty Store Review - Glitter Shimmer Crystal Sand Nail Polish

I was kindly sent a couple of polishes for an honest review from the Born Pretty Store.  This polish is described as a '10 ml Shiny Glitter Shimmer Crystal Sand Nail Polish ' and states that it does not contain toluene, formaldehyde, acetone type solvent, DBP and other carcinogenic substances. The price is $4.74 US, the shipping is free and it takes approximately 2-3 weeks for delivery to Canada.

This is a beautiful green based polish with green, silver and gold holo micro glitter.  It was very easy to work with; I could have gotten away with one coat but of course I did 2.  It dries matte, but it is hard to tell with all the glitter.  I guess you could use a top coat, but I think it would take away from the effect. It is  very reminiscent of Zoya's Pixie Dust or OPI's Liquid Sands collections.

This will be a great colour for some cool Christmas nail art!  There are 24 shades available, so I will be picking some more of these up.

Born Pretty Store Review - Tribal Candy Color Frosted Matte in Black

I was kindly sent a couple of polishes for an honest review from the Born Pretty Store.  This polish is described as a '12 ml Frosted Matte Glossy Nail Polish' and states that it does not contain toluene, formaldehyde, acetone type solvent, DBP and other carcinogenic substances.  The price is $4.36 US, the shipping is free and it takes approximately 2-3 weeks for delivery to Canada.

I would describe it as a matte black.  It was opaque with only 1 coat and dried pretty quickly. There was no need for a top coat!  Twenty different colours are available for this particular polish (item # 7157).  This polish performed great.  I have never used a matte or frosted polish, but have used a matte top coat and I think this polish has a better finish.  The frosted bottle is pretty cute :) and will be great for some Halloween nail art!

I got one of my trusty dotting tools out and went to town with Orly's Goth to add a little shine.
