Nothing To Disclose

It's finally Spooky Bitch Season and that means it's time for some fun & festive Spooky Bitch Nails.

I actually did this design last year, but my nails were short and I wasn't actively blogging. So obviously I had to recreate them.

How does the adage go? If it didn't happen on the Internet, then it did it happen at all. Right? Right.  

What Did I Use?

• Base color: two coats of a VHTF gem. An original formula OPI Bubble Bath--the girls that get it, get it.
• Bloody hand prints: Sally Hansen Insta-dri The Un-Red & What's Up Nails Bloody Hands stencils
• Cha Cha Covers Crime Scene Tape decals
• Quick dry top coat
• Illamasqua Boudicca on my Cindy Hand (not photographed)

Nothing To Disclose

Press Sample Believe it or not I swatched this entire collection during two different swatch sessions--which you'll notice from the drastic difference in nail length/shape--prior to Halloween and I completely forgot to edit the photos and post them until now. I know, shame on me.

Before we get started, all shades are swatched with top coat. Now let's get to it!

Getting To Gnaw You
Getting To Gnaw You is a black jelly base with copper glitter suspended throughout. Shown above is two coats.

I Love Your Guts
I Love Your Guts dries to a matte textured finished. I liked the idea of this shade, but unfortunately, the application of this polish was challenging. It didn't self-level, even after two coats of color and one layer of top coat.

But Of Corpse

But Of Corpse is the green alternative to I Love Your Guts. Same matte, semi-textured finish, but minus the issues with self-leveling. Shown above is two coats.

Don't Let the Dead Bite
Don't Let the Dead Bite is a nude jelly base with red metallic glitter dispersed throughout. I was really intrigued by this particular lacquer because I don't have anything like it in my 1,500+ nail polish collection. Shown above in two coats.

Rest in Pieces
Rest in Pieces is my absolute, hands down favorite piece from this collection. Is it the black hex glitter? Is it all the holographic gold glitter? Could it be the great formula that made copious amounts of fishing for glitter completely unnecessary? Yes to all of the above! Shown above in two-ish coats.

There's also the annual re-promote of China Glaze's glow-in-the-dark polish, Ghoulish Glow. You can read the full press release here.


Press Sample I personally would wear Rest in Pieces all year round. What say you?
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

Press Sample Since Friday's mani was off-season I decided why not do another? But this time sans nautical theme. So now I'm using three shades from the China Glaze Monster's Ball Halloween 2013 collection.

Nothing To Disclose As we all know Halloween was last week, yes I know this mani is being posted pretty late but I did really enjoy wearing it for the better part of a week. While the dress code at my job was modified to allow costumes I decided to just paint me nails.


I used a literal handful of lacquers for this mani and here they are. You ready?


In no particular order Formula X Loose Canon, butter LONDON Cotton Buds, Icing Shredded, China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, Orly Instant Artist Jet Black, Dare To Wear Honeysuckle, unnamed red and white nail art pens from Urban Outfitters.

Even though these slightly creepy nails are a tad late, I'd still rock these all year round. Would you?
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of the polish Icing comes out with. So, today I'm digging through my stash to find some of their Halloween themed polishes.

Would this be Nail A College Drop Out without a few bottles of Icing? Of course not!

On Halloween Zoya decided to treat their fans to two free bottles of polish and just pay the shipping. So, essentially the polishes were two for $6.95. Me being the little polish hoarder I am, I used both of my Zoya accounts. All together I ordered Crystal, Robyn, and two bottles of Luna.
 You can't beat $free.99
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

In lieu the upcoming Twilight movie I figured there's no time like the present to swatch some very fitting Icing polishes. For starters, yes, there is a nail polish named Twilight which I've already reviewed here. I've also picked up Vampire's Blood and Witch's Brew.

 Bottle shots of Vampire's Blood and Witch's Brew

Vampire's Blood is a fuchsia glitter suspended in a black jelly base.

 Witch's Brew contains green and blue glitter suspended in a black jelly base.


 And here's Twilight...
Twilight is a silver glitter suspended in a black jelly base.

These are all:
Icing polishes.
opaque in two coats.
rather dull without a top coat.
and the only thing that separates them is the glitter inside them.

In the event you were thinking, "Hmm, if only there was a gold one." Welp, there is and you can see it here.


Will you be wearing any of these to the Twilight Breaking Dawn premier?
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.
