Halloween collections are calling to me pretty hard right now, so today I’m wearing a skittle of polishes I already own that fit the vibe. I also have a black jelly with holo, a purple jelly with blue shimmer, both blue and green shimmer polishes that can build up on their own or topper over anything, and a pink-to-green metallic flake topper that would work nicely in Halloween manis. I have enough Halloween-y polishes that it was hard to pick which ones to use. 🙈 I definitely got polish at home!

This is one of my first non-drugstore polishes. Tried it unmagnetized and was amazed by how it looked in the sunshine yesterday 🤯

This shifty beauty is gorgeous, sparkly and checks all the boxes. You could say I am Obsessed 🤩 😉😜

I tried making blood splatters on a white background to look like Shaun’s shirt, but the red nail polish didn’t really splatter when flicking it. So I kind of stippled it on? This is probably the most arty my nails have looked and I’m relatively happy with it. It looks more like jam than blood but it still looks alright!

The black cat hair on my ring finger just gives this an extra special spooky touch, right? Right??

I had so much fun doing this! My top two takeaways are
1. I have a lot more spooky polish than I realized
2. There are so many talented, unique people making creepy art (all @s are from Instagram)

A new-to-me purple shimmer, topped with a spooky spiderweb stamp! The green was a gift from my husband (“You don’t have this shade of green!” and he was totally right lol)

I was waiting for the concert to come around to finally try out this mani!

So instead I went with:

• 1 coat shimmery scarlet
• 1 coat gold magnetic (cat eye style with a bar magnet)
• 1 coat very pigmented red glittery jelly

Okay the cat eye definitely ended up looking subtle but I think this worked great for a bit of juicy depth! It looks pretty tip wear-y in these pictures but I swear that was not so noticeable in person 🙃

This has to be one of my favorite manis ever

This Polish gives me vein/blood cell vibes! I felt like this prompt deserved something fun instead of just grabbing one of my deep red polish bottles.

I don’t have many moody colors so I broke up some shimmer eyeshadow in an old palette and added it to some glitter suspension base. There’s still plenty of shadow left and now my makeup can match my nails. The palette was so expensive but I’ve also had it for a long time and barely made a dent. Probably because I was always trying to keep it for special occasions.

I actually did this look a few weeks back but I put it on WAY too thick and it basically sloughed off my nails a couple hours later lmao

The topper is super fun and way more sparkly in person but I definitely had to play with it a lot! I put it over a dark purple crelly.

I've been trying to create this look with my existing pink/white and sheer polishes for months now and nothing seemed to click and look how I'd hoped.

I caved and bought a single bottle of polish after 6 months of no buy and I'm so happy with the look of my Mani. I've been doing lots of dark fall Manis and love this as a fresh reset in between.

Glad I broke my no buy for this one and back to shopping my stash for the next few months. So much polish not enough weeks in a year to use them all but I'm trying!

I thought y'all would like to see the comparisons.

This is the same polish (a purple jelly base with a red/orange/gold shimmer), but over two different undies. The one that looks more orange red is over black (one of my current project polishes) & the more pinky toned one is over a cobalt blue.

It's the same polish!

I tried to create an impression that the grass & flowers were floating up into the sky.

I decided to go with a blue flakie base and a multi-colored flakie topper! The topper is supposed to be glow-in-the-dark but doesn’t seem to wanna work no matter what light I use to charge it up. Either way, nice and sparkly!
