Sparkly Nails

I know you're probably excited about all of the Halloween nail art.  Personally, I've had my fair share.  In case you feel the same way, I have something totally different.
As part of a product review, I received from Sparkly Nails a Floral Swirl Jewel Sticker sheet to compliment any mani in just a few minutes.  

Using Kunimitsu 180 Years Old (see full review here) (I call it "Yoshi"), Zoya Josie and Rocky I came up with this:

Here's the full Floral Swirl Jewel Stickers sheet
Floral Swirl Jewel Stickers

This is the base design.  Somewhat of a gradient and "Yoshi" dont need much more to be a killer mani but it's nice to be able to dress it up, plus, it is Halloween. :-p

and Viola!!!

Easy to apply, simply take off the sheet, stick on and seal with top coat.  Done deal.  My nails had were not even completely dried when I applied.  Am a dare devil!!! 
If you're that much of a risk taker, be 100% SURE where you will place it.  If your nails arent dry and you try to remove the sticker, your "paint job" will get messed up.

Here's a little of Sparkly's history:
"I formed the business in 2004 after finding I couldn't get all the supplies I needed to complete a beauty course, which I began after finishing my business degree at Bournemouth University.
Seeing a gap in the market, I invested what was left of my business_awardstudent loan into the business. I purchased a selection of nail art gems and a web design package and taught myself, with no previous experience, to build an e-commerce website.  Following my degree I went back to college and studied BTEC Beauty Therapy Sciences and worked in salons and spas to ensure that I had a full beauty background.
Nine years later, Sparkly Nails is going strong.  We now stock a vast number of ranges, which all started from one range of products, nail gems - we now stock well over 100 different style nail art gems!  This year alone we have introduced new product lines: colour studs, flowers and nail art shell, along with a much wider selection of nail stickers, water decals, pearls and gems and we will continue to invest and increase choice for our customers. "


Check it out for yourself.  You'll find absolutely EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!
Great customer service, prompt shipping and of course great pricing.


what do you think?? I love reading your comments!!!

China Glaze: Monsters Ball (glow in the dark polish EEEK)

"You're invited to the China Glaze Monsters Ball! This Halloween, China Glaze introduces a party of spooky sparkles and tantalizing textures. You’re sure to have a hauntingly good time with this limited edition six-piece collection shrouded in mystery and dripping with lavish color."

As part of a product review, I received three of the six limited edition pretties of this Monsters Ball!
Hurry and get them soon! this week is the week!!!

I figured I'd have some Halloween fun! and made this Dracula nail from the Halloween Tutorial by Nail World.  
 photo CAM01860_wm_zps64a4f058.jpg 

and using Bumo in the Night as a base color I made these spookie eyes (I always wanted to make spooky eyes) spookier because of the rich texture by the base color.  
Of course I had to dress them up.  It's Halloween!!!!!!!! and using Fang-Tastic's multi-colored glitters gave my spooky eyes a nice "dress"

Fang-Tastic is as I said, a multi-colored glitter topper on a clear base.  It's the perfect "dress-me-up" for any color and occasion

And lastly, 
Ghoulish Glow.
Simply "charge" by exposing it to light, turn the light off and watch it glow.  
It's like ghostly matter.
