Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween readers! Are you doing anything fun for Halloween? I'm not sure what we're doing yet, I am going to attempt to dress up like a vampire or something. Who knows.

I wanted to show you my Halloween Manicure. I got the idea for the Frankenstein nail from the lovely Goldiestarling on Youtube. Check out her amazing tutorial for a way better version of these cool nails. I suck at nail art so these are sort of messy but festive none the less.

Have a wonderful Halloween all. Leave a link to your Halloween inspired nails in the comments.

Claire's Mood Color Changing Polish in Excited/Bored

Hi everyone! I hope this post finds you well. Today I wanted to share a Claire's Mood polish I bought a few weeks ago with you all. This is the Excited/Bored combination. It's a really pretty light coral/dark coral combo. I love the "funky french" effect these colors give. I find that the best time to see it is when you're in temperature controlled places like the car with the A/C on. When this color is cold it is the darker color and when this color is hot it is the lighter color.

The formula is okay. The color changing quality seems to be more prevalent when you use less coats but I needed to do 3 coats because it was very streaky. So that's annoying. This particular color did not wear well, it was chipped within one day of applying which stinks. The color is really cool though.

What do you think of these color changing polishes? I wish they would make one that looks like a traditional french mani. Wouldn't that be cool?

These are available at Claire's Boutiques for $5 each. They are usually Buy One Get One 1/2 Off which makes them $3.75 each. Not bad at all. Do you have any? Which are your favorites?

Claire's Mood Color Changing Nail Polish in "Calm/Wild"

Happy Wednesday readers! Today I have a Claire's Mood Color Changing Polish to share with you. I have seen so many wonderful swatches of this stuff I just had to get my hands on some. Last week I went to lunch and shopped a little with my mom so I picked up two of the Claire's Mood polishes. The first I want to share with you is Calm/Wild.

Calm/Wild is the polish that is both purple and pink. It's a sort of shimmer (not frost) formula. Now the thing that drew me to these polishes was the fact that on most long-ish nails it created a "funky french" with one color on top like a french tip and the other color on the bottom portion of the nail. Now on me I was a bit disappointed because that was not as noticeable. The only time I really saw the results I'd want to see was when I was driving in my car with the AC on. I guess my nails were close enough to the cool air to change color on the tips.

The formula is okay. I found it decent to work with but I needed 3 coats for opacity which annoys me. But I found it decent to apply, I didn't think it was too thick. Most people have complained about staying power but for me, using Seche Vite top coat, I got a few good days out of it. Nothing to really complain about.

On to the photos. I did my best to show you how it is most of the time, then hot, then cool. Hope this helps:

These polishes can be purchased at Claire's Boutiques in you local mall for around $5. They are usually Buy One Get One 1/2 off so two for $7.50 not too bad at all.

Enjoy the rest of the week! Thanks for stopping by!
