It's been a while and unfortunately I probably won't have time for another post until after the holidays. <br />
<br />
I wanted to pop in and let you all know I haven't abandoned my blog (well, not permanently). I also finally made some time to do my nails which have been naked since *gasp* November! I had to do something seasonal for Christmas!<br />
<br />
Behold, my Mrs. Claus nails! I found this design via Pinterest, originally from the blog <a href="http://www.coloresdecarol.com/2011/12/12-days-of-christmas-challenge-day-11.html">Colores De Carol</a>.<br />

I use the corner of cut pieces of tape to get the chevron shape and used a dotting tool for the white trim and details. I love this design and I think it is a fun, girly take on Christmas santa nails.<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a wonderful, safe Christmas if I don't get another post in.<br />

My computer is still on the fritz. The power supply I ordered has been 45min away since 1am Saturday morning and somehow failed to make it to my house so now it probably won't reach me until Tuesday. :-(<br />
<br />
The reason for this post is that the winner from my "<a href="http://amokiscorner.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-wicked-halloween-giveaway.html">A Wicked Giveaway</a>" contest failed to respond and claim her prize. I have removed her entries and picked a new winner. *drum roll* please....<br />
<br />
...and the winner is <b>STEPHANIE O.</b> Congrats! She has been e-mailed and again there is a 48hour window for her to respond.<br />
<br />
Thanks for popping in.<br />

I hope you remembered Daylight Savings Time ended early this morning and took advantage of that extra hour of sleep. (:<br />
<br />
Today's NotD is from Jessica's stash. It's OPI Every Month is Oktoberfest. When she brought this to my house I basically started drooling over it so she let me borrow it. What a good sister. This color is just beautiful. It's so fall and I love it.<br />

This vampy fall color has black and red specs inside of a deep purple base. It looks very burgundy but at times morphs to a more purple look. It's not the most cuticle friendly of colors but it applies smoothly and easily so long as you don't flood your nail with polish.<br />
<br />
It's nice to have a polish addict sister. (: So many of her colors I wish were mine.<br />

As you know I'm hosting a <a href="http://amokiscorner.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-wicked-halloween-giveaway.html">giveaway</a> of the Wicked Collection 4-pack by China Glaze. Between the sister and I, we have the entire collection except for Make a Spectacle. So, here are the swatches of everything but.<br />
<br />
<b>Bizarre Blurple</b> is exactly what the name says, a "blurple". That
is to say it's not quite blue and not quite purple. I loved this color
so much. It is completely gorgeous and the formula was fantastic.<br />

<b>Roguish Red</b> is an orangey-red creme that also applies amazingly and has a rich saturation to it. It's probably more orange than red. I used this color in my pumpkin nail art for Halloween.<br />

<b>Glitter Goblin</b> on top of having an awesome name, amiright?, it is a color-packed glitter party in a bottle. It has orange, purple, green, blue, gold, & silver glitter and it SCREAMS Halloween in a superbly festive manner. I used 3 coats to achieve a mostly full opacity without a base color.<br />

I wish I had Make a Spectacle so I could have full collection swatches, but alas, I do not.<br />
<br />
This collection really grabbed my attention this year and I really love it. It was spot on to me. My collection is still growing so these are all unique additions for me, but I know a lot of girls probably wouldn't think blurple the most unique. To me, I think Bizarre Blurple is my favorite of the lot. <br />

This is the last installment from this challenge showing support for National Breast Cancer Awareness month which was during October.<br />
<br />
For the last day I am giving another go at doing an ombre manicure. The first Go Pink Wednesday, Mandy, from <a href="http://chameleonstampede.blogspot.com/2012/10/bca-pink-wednesday-with-twisted-pink.html">Chameleon Stampede</a>, did a seamless pink ombre manicure that I absolutely loved. Ombre is really big right now and I dig it on nails.<br />

I only used 2 colors for this manicure; ZOYA Sooki and WETnWILD French White Creme. I mixed the red with the white for varying shades.<br />
<br />
I had fun doing this challenge. My grandmother died from breast cancer before I was born. It's amazing how much world-wide support there is now to fund research that has saved thousands of lives. There is so much information out there and resources to help empower women to take control of their health and detect any possible problems early. The <a href="http://ww5.komen.org/Default.aspx">Susan G. Komen foundation website</a> is a great start for those seeking any information or which to find out how to get involved.<br />
<br />
October may be over but as women we should all help spread knowledge and information all year round. Thanks for popping in!<br />

<br />
I absolutely loved what <a href="http://www.overpolished.com/this-is-halloween-nail-art-challenge-jack-olanterns/">Overpolished</a> did for the Jack-o-lantern challenge. The colors were amazing and the idea was great. Moonlight spilling over a jack-o-lantern, love.<br />

<br />
Colors used:<br />
• ZOYA Noel - base color<br />
• COLOR CLUB Worth the Risque - moons<br />
• WETnWILD Black Creme - pumpkins<br />
• CHINA GLAZE Ride the Waves - moonlight detail on pumpkins<br />
• ZOYA Arizona - light orange highlights<br />
• CHINA GLAZE Roguish Red - dark orange highlights<br />
<br />
I had a lot of fun participating in this challenge. Boy it is a lot of work though kicking out so much nail art! I hope you all enjoyed what I had to share with you and I hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween. Oh, and of course a HUGE shout out to <a href="http://lacquerdreams.blogspot.com.au/">Lacquer Dreams</a> for hosting this fun challenge. (:<br />

Happy Devil's Night. (: I remember when I was little my Mom used to make us bring our Jack-o-lanterns inside this night each year in case hooligans came to smash them and make trouble! Oooh good memories.<br />
<br />
The husband and I made a Jack Skellington pumpkin this year. I decided to match my trick-or-treat nails to our pumpkin. I feel that it's a broad enough theme that I could take artistic license and say this fits because all of the trick-or-treaters will pass our Jack Skellington pumpkin to come to our house. :-) Here are my nails and our pumpkin. I am super happy with both.<br />

I hope all my east coast followers are staying dry and safe indoors, riding out Sandy. I'm happy to report that my power seems to have held out through the wind gusts although it has been raining since Friday. <br />

I decided to do a Wicked inspired manicure using the Elphaba image from the playbill. I saw Wicked earlier this year with Jessica and my husband and it was a fantastic show. I highly recommend seeing it if you have not. <br />

<br />
Colors used:<br />
• ZOYA Midori - Elphaba's face<br />
• ZOYA Ivanka - green triangles<br />
• ZOYA Sooki - Elphaba's lips <br />
• WETnWILD Black Creme - black triangles<br />
• Black Acrylic - Elphaba's hair and hat<br />
• CHINA GLAZE Fairy Dust - Glitter on Elphaba's hat<br />
<br />
I think Ivanka looks great against the black. I used tape to get the clean edge on the triangle halves. I free handed Elphaba with a small art brush.<br />

Oh yes, these photos were taken in my snazzy new light box! I just picked up a CFL Daylight bulb from Home Depot for it today. The sister and I both made ourselves one while she was visiting. More on this later. For now, I hope you all have a wonderful night.<br />

I'm back with the Gradient theme in the "This is Halloween" nail art challenge. Jessica did a gradient for it as well. It's always fun to have someone painting their nails with you. We did them on the couch watching Burn Notice.<br />
<br />
I did a gold and white gradient using BARRY M Gold Foil sponged over WETnWild White Creme. I then freehanded black stripes on to make a mummy effect and then used a dotting tool to add eyes.<br />

I went with an all pink starburst pattern using CHINA GLAZE <a href="http://amokiscorner.blogspot.com/2012/01/go-go-pink.html">Go Go Pink</a> and ZOYA Kimber.<br />

I had to blow up that last one bigger so you can see all of the gorgeous colors packed into this; red, green, gold & orange. It's gorgeous over black. The black really brings out the full spectrum of color from Creepy Pumpkin.<br />
<br />
I am so bummed to return this to my sister. She's really great about sharing her polish with me and her stash is much more extensive than mine so I'm sure I'll find more to snag from her.<br />

When I saw zombies on the list I knew I wanted to have actual zombie-esque nails and not just zombie art. I was perusing zombie nail images the other day and came across this <a href="http://blogs.nailsmag.com/365NailArt/archive/2011/10/22/Day-295-Lady-Frankenstein-Nail-Art.aspx">link</a>. It was gory and awesome and just everything a zombie's nails should be. I had to do it myself. <br />

Okay, first off let me put this out there; Those are FAKE nails. I zombified them myself but I would never do that to the ends of my real nails so I new stick-ons would be the way to go. I got a set for $1 at the dollar tree. I also found this fun brain there. Once I finished my nails, I realized they actually made the brain look too clean so I added some nail polish to bloody it up some.<br />
<br />
Colors used:<br />
• blood - CHINA GLAZE Velvet Bow<br />
• base color - CHINA GLAZE IV thinned WAAAAAY down w/ ORLY Nail Thinner<br />
• half moons - Black acrylic paint<br />
<br />
I pulled and ripped at the nails with clippers to make the jagged edges. To get the caked in dirt look I figured the most natural way would be to paint the underside of the fake nail (because clawing your way out of a grave is going to definitely get under you nails). I used the WAAAAAY thinned down brown (IV) as a quick brush over the fake nail. I applied the blood very thick and goopy right off the brush to make a fresher look. Let me just put this out there as a general notice about Velvet Bow, it is not cuticle friendly.<br />

So gross. I had to use pure acetone to get the red out of my cuticle bed then I scrubbed with Julep Hand Exfoliater, moisturized with St. Ives lotion and slathered my entire nail in Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream. <br />

<br />
This was fun to do. I am saving my fake nails. I highly doubt they will ever get used, but I mean...I can't throw these away!<br />
<br />
Hehe. So, apologies for the nasty nails but I hope you at least think they captured the theme today.<br />

Last year I remember seeing these completely unique and awesome Jack-o-lantern nails over at <a href="http://www.kaylashevonne.com/">Nails by Kayla Shevonne</a>. I went to her blog searching because I remember she had a tutorial for them. Well, I found said <a href="http://www.kaylashevonne.com/2011/10/halloween-nail-art-tutorial-jack-o.html">tutorial</a> and decked my nails out.<br />

Colors used:<br />
• base color - CHINA GLAZE <a href="http://amokiscorner.blogspot.com/2012/03/liquid-leather.html">Liquid Leather</a><br />
• base color glitter - CHINA GLAZE Skyscraper<br />
• Jack-o-lantern cut-out color - SALLY HANSEN XTREME WEAR Sun Kissed<br />
• Jack-o-lantern cut-out color - CHINA GLAZE Roguish Red<br />
• glowing top coat - CHINA GLAZE Ghoulish Glow<br />
• I used white and black acrylic paints as well to make the orange pop on top of the black and then to cover up any mistakes and add detail to the shapes <br />
<br />
Kayla is extremely talented and artistic and this design and tutorial are both fantastic. I absolutely love how it turned out. This is the epitome of Halloween nails.<br />

Today's design sort of evolved as I was doing it. I originally was going to go with a table cloth sort of striping, but then decided I didn't want horizontal stripes. Then I decided to add the pink ribbon accents. I have lots of pictures so get ready!<br />

I'm actually quite pleased with this. :)<br />
<br />
Colors used:<br />
• base color - SALLY HANSEN XTREME WEAR <a href="http://amokiscorner.blogspot.com/2012/10/sally-hansen-xtreme-wear-white-on.html">White On</a> <br />
• stripes - ZOYA <a href="http://amokiscorner.blogspot.com/2012/05/zoya-kate.html">Kate</a><br />
• pink ribbons - CHINA GLAZE <a href="http://amokiscorner.blogspot.com/2012/01/go-go-pink.html">Go Go Pink</a><br />
<br />
I absolutely love ZOYA Kate. It's one of my favorite polishes I own.<br />
<br />
I free handed the stripes with an art brush and added the pink ribbon accents with the same brush. I had to do a few coats of Go Go Pink because it's so light to make sure it popped against Kate. I topped it all with Seche Vite.<br />
<br />
Don't forget that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. Make sure to regularly check yourself and encourage the women in your life to do the same. If you are not sure what to do <a href="http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-self-exam">here</a> is website that may help. Take care because early detection can save your life.

I have 2 posts today. I seperated this one because I did not have a swatch post of this polish, White On, yet. I will be posting the nail art I did over this right after.<br />
<br />
Okay, so SALLY HANSEN XTREME WEAR White On is the color of the day. Just a typical white-out white. The formula is just okay. It needs at least 2 coats for full opacity. It's a nice clean white though.<br />

I used CHINA GLAZE Crimson from the Haunting Collection (2011) as my base color. I created the white ghosts using a dotting tool to manipulate small pools of white polish. These ghosts are super fun and festive and worth the time to make if you're going for an awesome Halloween look.<br />

I grabbed my first Butter London polishes from this deal, which was totally amazing. 4 BL polishes and it was only $11.00 with Coterie's first time purchase discount of $25 at the time. Completely amazing, I know right!? <br />

The formula was very easy to work with. The first coat was pretty sheer, you need to build it up for a richer color. I applied 3 coats which gave nice depth. I decided I should try out my matte top coat too so here is Bluey Mattified. <br />

I was very sad when I opened my brand new Matte Finish bottle and found this:<br />

<br />
*sad face* Also the bottle was very difficult to get open and my nails were not completely dry from application, so I used pliers. I know, I could have broken the bottle, but I didn't want to smudge my fresh mani! I don't understand why my bottle put up such a fight. Super disappointed in the brush. Other than that, it applied fantastically. It also didn't leave any stroke marks like you can get when you apply an actual matte finish polish. Two thumbs up for this matte top coat.<br />

Their big bottles of acetone are on sale for $4.99 this week, GREAT deal. I grabbed us each a 4pack of the Wicked collection, picked up some cotton rounds and then got a new base and top coat. I actually went to the dollar store and bought 2 packages of their cotton rounds for only a dollar, but I'm going to use these more expensive ones for my face. The dollar store one are a bit rough, but great for polish removal. Sometimes my dollar store has these awful cheap ones, but this time they had a new stock of better quality ones so yay.<br />
<br />
The 4-pack was only $8.99 and comes with Roguish Red, Glitter Goblin, Bizzare Blurple and Ghoulish Glow.<br />

In random news, that's my new table runner! It just arrived today from Kohls. I am obsessed with all things holiday related and this spider web runner is totally awesome. <br />

I just need to iron out the folds and then congratulate myself on an awesome purchase. :-P<br />
<br />
Don't go anywhere just yet because I will have polish post up in a few! I am doing BUTTER LONDON Bluey swatches in both normal and matte finishes.<br />

This technique is not one I have perfected by any means. I have 2
designs to share today, one is from last year and one is from today. I
hope you enjoy! <br />

Colors used:<br />
• FANTASY MAKERS Creepy Pumpkin<br />
• ZOYA Arizona (base color)<br />
• SALLY HANSESN XTREME WEAR Sun Kissed<br />
• FINGER PAINTS Orange-Cordur<br />
<br />
I had other plans for this manicure when I started out, but if you've done water marbling before than you know not all polishes work. I ended up going all orange because these colors worked the best in the water.<br />
<br />
I also wanted to share with you the water marbling I did last year for Halloween when I wasn't actively blogging.<br />

I added a cute skull decal I picked up from Sallys as an accent. The black certainly pops more and I was trying to use it in this years, but the polish refused to spread in the water.<br />
<br />
Water marbling takes a lot of patience to be sure. I love how the end result is always unique and pretty. I do feel that I still need more practice with this technique.<br />
