Halloo! 🙂
Here are some Spooky Halloween Spiders!
I decided to have a go at a new to me technique called a Radial Gradient, If you haven’t come across this before, it’s circular so instead of painting the polish across the sponge you paint it in a circle, then apply it to the nail in the same way.
I think that for a first attempt I was far to ambitious trying to use four shades (I should have tried with two to start with)
The products I used are
- A England – Elaine
- Revlon – Amethyst
- China Glaze – Get Outta My Space
- Revlon – Stiletto
- Stamping Plate – Moyou Suki 10
- Hit The Bottle – Black
- Seche Vite
- Makeup Sponge
For the gradient I used Stiletto, Elaine, Amethyst and Get Outta My Space, then a coat of Seche Vite.
When that had dried I used Black Hit The Bottle stamping polish and Moyou Suki plate 10 for the spiders and webs then another coat of SV to finish it off.
I have so many ideas for Halloween nail art that I think it’s going to take me all month to share them all! 🙂

Halloo!
In the interests of full disclosure, I received the leadlight lacquer Stamping plate free of charge, but not for review. The wonderful people over at Messy Mansion sent me a couple extra plates when my last order went missing. How lovely is that!? 🙂
This mani is one of the ones I created before disappearing for a while, I liked this one far too much not to share it with you.
I really love the look and how easy edge gradients are, the only down side is that they are really messy, a lot more so than a standard across the nail gradient!
I do find that a tiny bit of petroleum jelly/Vaseline rubbed around the cuticle area helps with clean up a huge amount, when the polish is dry it can be wiped away with a tissue, or a gentle scrub with a nail brush.
The products I used are
- Leadlight Lacquer A01
- Illamasqua – Scorn
- Illamasqua – DWS
- Hit The Bottle – Black
- Seche Vite
- Maybelline – Sugar Crystals
🙂

Hey everyone!
It’s been a while ( and by a while I really mean months… Ooops) since my last post.
I really needed a break from everything! I have had a lot of stuff going on that in all honesty has been simultaneously boring and stressful! But I’m not going bore you all with the details!
Instead I have some Glow in the Dark Fire nails to share 😀
I really think these would be great for Halloween!

The stuff I used
- Stamping Plate MM27
- Seche Vite
- Hit The Bottle Stamping Polish – Black
- Glow In The Dark Polish Orange and Yellow
- Models Own – Zest a Peel
- Sally Hansen – Lite
I used the Models Own and Sally Hansen Polishes to create a gradient, I think using some white undies would have saved me a lot of layers!
Then I added the glow in the dark polish the ones I used are just cheap Pound shop unbranded ones but they do glow reasonably well, I think using some better quality glowing polish would improve this a lot.
Then when It was dry (this took ages) I used MM27 and Hit The Bottle Stamping Polish to add the flames!
Then a coat of Seche Vite and a bit of a clean up to finish it off.
Even if it is orange and yellow this mani makes me really happy! 😀

Hello! 🙂
In Your Dreams
Because it’s a lovely sunny day I decided to use my Ruby Wing colour changing polishes for this gradient and leadlight nail art look!
Inside
Outside
The three Ruby Wing polishes I used are
- In Your Dreams
- Desert Valley
- Crowd Surf
The gradient is In Your Dreams (white/grey) and Crowd Surf (pink/purple)
Stamping Plate BP-17
I used Stamping Plate BP-17 from Born Pretty, along with Desert Valley for the leadlighting. I’m so glad I have finally used this polish! I really wish I had read some reviews about the stuff before purchasing it, to say it’s not a nice polish would be a huge understatement! But a little bit of it works well for this 🙂
Desert Valley
I really like the way this looks outside!
side by side!

Hello! 😀
Snowflake Glitter Gradient
Today I have some more icy snow inspired nail to share with you!
For this I used
- Filthy Gorgeous – Prism
- Chit Chat – Silver Glitter
- OPI – I Snow you Love Me
- Illamasqua – Propaganda
- Konad – SP Black
- Stamping Plate HD05
- Seche Vite Fast Dry Topcoat
Snowflake Glitter Gradient
I began with two coats of Chit Chat Silver Glitter over my usual base coat, then a couple of coats of Prism. Prism from Filthy Gorgeous has a clear base with scattered fine holographic glitter.
After that had dried I started fishing for glitter in the I snow you love me… I love the glitter in this polish, The suspension base, not so much, the texture really reminds me of uncooked egg white (shudders).
All this took such a long time to dry but when it eventually did, I added the Propaganda with a makeup sponge for the gradient.
The snowflakes are from stamping plate HD05. Then I finished it of with a thick coat of Seche Vite!
Blue silver and holographic Glitter gradient
I really like how this looks, it’s so sparkly in sunlight! 😀
