Halloween Nails of the Week

I haven't been keeping up with this blog for a while.... I haven't even put up the second part of the haul..... oh well. Since it's almost Halloween, I did a Halloween themed nail design. I got the idea from IHaveACupcake a nail guru on Youtube. You should check out her channel because she does ALOT of amazing designs and I constantly get new ideas and inspiration from her. The url for the nail art tutorial is Halloween Monsters Nail Art This is my copy of it. As you can see I got impatient and smeared the black when putting on the top coat.
Well, I'll update soon with more nail stuff. If you have any requests or questions please comment below.

"Haul" Part One

Alright this is my first “haul” as a blogger! Yay! Technically, it’s not really a haul because I didn’t buy that much… but yeah! A “haul” !! I decided to break this haul into two parts because I didn’t feel like removing the nail polish so yeah. Onto the polishes!… plus a little side story.

So I was at ross looking for some cheap cute clothes to buy and I came across this!

A three pack of Borghese polish for 6.99!!!! Borghese polish usually retails for about 5 dollars near my area. This was a super awesome deal, but being cheap old me, I hesitated to buy it. My wonderful enabler of a sister persuaded me to buy this pack because I have been DYING to try out Borghese polish. I am so happy that I bought it!!! The colors are absolutely stunning!! So the colors from left to right are San Remo Bronze, Belissima Rose, and Tangelo Sherbet. These might be colors from a couple seasons ago but Borghese all the same.





 San Remo is such amazing color. The polish is so shimmery that I was being blinded while apply it. This took me two coats and you can probably get away without using a top coat because it‘s so shiny. I’m not really a fan of light shimmery pinks but this shimmer is addicting to look at.




M’kay so I felt lazy and I didn’t want to remove the San Remo Bronze on my left had so I decided to divide my hand hand between Belissima Rose and Tangelo Sherbet. That is why only three of my nails are painted Belissima Rose and the other two are Tangelo Sherbet.













Belissima Rose is so different San Remo Bronze, it was a shock of color to me. It’s a deep pinkish red crème. This also took two coats, but you could get away with one thick coat. I can’t stop looking at this color! I always thought deep reds made my hands look like a forty year old woman trying to be fashionable, but I don’t get that feeling with this color. What do you think?















Last but not least is the swatch of tangelo sherbet. Tangelo sherbet is sheer shimmery pinkish peach color. It seems to have the same pigmentation as San Remo but it’s not as shiny. It took me three coats to get it opaque. Still an amazing color.

That’s the end of my “haul” part one. Thanks for reading! Please leave a comment if you have any questions or suggestions.  Be on the lookout for part two!! :D
