Color Me So Crazy

**Press Samples** Yes, there is a difference in my actual Halloween nails vs. what I had earlier on my blog. I love to experiment with Holiday manis, but I don't always get the chance to post about them.  Yes, there is a difference in my actual Halloween nails vs. what I had earlier on my blog. I love to experiment with Holiday manis, but I don't always get the chance to post about them. This time, I got to post a couple quick skittles but nothing too fancy. I actually wore these today, so this is a real time post! I am wearing all Sally Hansen and they are super glam! I used two different glitters, a chrome and two cremes. I posted a design a couple nights ago using the gel equivalents to these colors and they are both such spot on matches for Halloween colors!  I have a quick little live preview of the mani on SnapChat, as promised. So, don't forget to head over to Szizzy12184 to peep that. I am kind of disappointed in my chrome drip on my pinky because i...

**Press Samples**  Ohhh I just love Sally Hansen Halloween colors. They are like the perfect black and perfect Halloween orange. Sally Hansen Miracle Gel is perfect for your Halloween party polish. It will last longer and shine brighter.   For this little skittle design, I did a creepy pumpkin stamp, a little pumpkin blood drip and some fun dots. I wanted to do something fun but still creepy! It is Halloween after all! I was also doing this midweek and wanted it to stay throughout the weekend. Perfect pick!  I have used Blacky-O before and I love it! It's my favorite black gel polish. It stays deep and dark and dries super shiny. It stayed put through bagging leaves, grocery shopping, pumpkin paining and baking. Whew, I was busy BUT at least my nails looked cute! What do you think of this fun and creepy Halloween skittle? Did you do something fun for your nails or makeup for this Halloween? Show me at @colormesocrazy on pretty much every social cha...

**May Contain Press Samples** Halloween is my favorite holiday to do skittles. I did these a while back when I still had nubbins and when I was really into dotting anything! I've had this PhillyLovesLacquer of quite a while and I only pull it out once a year. It still applies very nicely and the glitters still come out evenly. I appreciate that in a nail polish thats a few years old. Good job PLL! I haven't done an interlocking design in quite a while so I decided to add that in. I have a couple more Halloween designs I want to throw out there before it gets too late. Sometime this week, my daughter and I are going ghoul for her favorite holiday. The only reason it's her favorite is because her birthday is the next day.  I hope you enjoyed this quick little skittle and stay tuned for more holiday themed nail art. Plus there's always something good going on over here. Fun, fun FUN! Colors Used: Sally Hansen- Blacky O Sally Hansen- Electra-cute P...

**Press Samples** So... today is Halloween and this is what I am rocking. Thanks to the wonderful people over at NYC New York Color, I have a really fun and colorful design on my face. I didn't create an actual character this year, I just went for fun.  Colors Used: Face: NYC New York Color- New York At Night  NYC New York Color- East River Romance NYC New York Color- Rockefeller Center Snowflakes NYC New York Color- Wall Street Bronze I'm not sure exactly what this character is but I kind of like it. I used a really, really light foundation and then just went to town. I whited out my eyes, outlined the white in electric blue and then added some spikes.  I also then outlined my lips in black and then did an inner color with the electric blue. Again, even though I'm not really someone or something, I am in love. I do wish I would have use a better primer so my pores aren't so porous but I'm learning for next time! To match up with...

So, here's my Halloween 2013 Skittle Art. Yes, another skittle. I think that I have slacked a lot this season, so I had to quick make up for it all in one mani. That's what I did!! I hope that you all enjoyed my tutorials that I did leading up to this and I hope to do some more like it for the following holidays to come!  I used my Frankenstein tutorial for my pointer nail. I did a jack-o-lantern for my middle finger (or tall man as my son says). Next was just a glitter sandwich with orange creme color by Sinful Colors and then the glitter by Jordana.  The thumb is the same orange creme with glitter on top and then 2 glitter stripes in the corner.  For the pinky, I used the orange creme and did a french with 3 different colors. Purple, gold and white! Jordana- Copper Blaze Sinful Colors- Time Off Sinful Colors- Flower Girl Sinful Colors- Citrine Sinful Colors- Snow Me White NYC- High Line Green

Yes! Another "witch combo". I think these purples during Halloween remind me of the witching hours and I loooooooove it! Yes, purple is my favorite color <3 Anywho, I am totally in love with the OMG crystal sands. They are sooo pretty and sparkly and definitely a dupe for some of the Zoyas. I did not top coat them because I really like the rough texture. It soothes me throughout the day<---------Polish Addict Words. I also must say that the polish is fairly easy to take off. I use the cotton ball-piece-let rest method. I will have to tutorial this, but I first saw it when I tried the foil remover method. I only had enough cotton balls for 6 fingers, so I tore pieces off to share with the other 4 nails. Anyway, I'll save the other 12 paragraphs of this tutorial for another day! So onto the love of purple montage!! Enjoy and stay tuned for my last post of this SPOOKY DAY! Sonoma Nail Art- Halloween in the Vines OMG- Opal

*Both polishes in this post were won in giveaways and not purchased by me. I have not received any compensation from either.  Ahhhhhhh pure Halloween!! I won 2 polishes from Philly Loves Lacquer  just in time for the happy holiday. I haven't used the second one yet, but I have a great plan for it. It's pretty awesome.  For this mani, I used the OMG without a topcoat, because I have that weird thing with feeling the crystal sand. I also put a coat of Sinful Colors Citrine under the Philly Loves Lacquer to make it pop. Philly Loves Lacquer says this a Halloween polish and to commemorate a rival hockey team in Philadelphia that I cannot mention, but I will ignore that part since I am a Pittsburgh Girl! This baby has " micro hexes, micro bars, stars, dots, rectangles, and matte orange hexes, ultrafine orange micro glitter, and orange holo hex" all in that bottle. Good thing is, I didn't even have to fish! Ok, so I'm a fan of hers already! So, to bump th...

How much do you love this guy?!? You can always play with the eye and mouth placement for different expressions on your little guy! Colors used: NYC- High Line Green Sinful Colors- Time Off Sinful Colors- Snow Me White 1. Start with your base color. I chose to use green, because well, Frankenstein is green. You can pick which ever color you want! 2. Then, take your dotting tool and dip it in your white for the whites of the eyes in your guy.  3. Then take your dotting tool again (you can use a striping brush if you are better with that) and dip it in your black to make your hair and eyeballs. I just did 3 or 4 strokes for the hair and 2 dots for the eyes. 4. Next take your striping brush or dotting tool and make a diagonal line for the mouth. You can play with the length and the angle to change the expression. 5. Then make opposing lines to make the stitches on the mouth. You can make then whatever length and thickness you want, as well. ...

Well, I did a gross blood drips. Now, I will do a pretty one. With glow in the dark polish and hearts and butterflies. Well not all that, but it does have glow in the dark polish. Super sweeeeett!!! Colors Used: Sinful Colors- Candy Coated Sinful Colors- Snow Me White Sinful Colors- Glow in the Dark  1. Paint your base color. I used Candy Coated by Sinful Colors.   2. Next, I added the glow in the dark color. This is the easiest way to use the glow with this art as it will be too hard to add it to the drips.  3. Next, take a white polish on a dotting tool. I like to use the biggest one I have to make a nice big gloppy dot.  4. Then, make gloppy dots. The trick is to make them gloppy enough that you can use polish from the dot, but keep the dot shape.  5. You want to make a couple random dots on your finger. I just did 3 because I have ridiculously small nails that's all that will fit.  6. ...
