Ghostbusters need manis too!

Today I have a mani to share with you that I did using all four polishes from Ooh La Lacquer's Ghostbusters Halloween 2014 Collection.


First, I would like to show you all my base!


The amazingness that is "Yoga Pants" by Drip Drop Nail Paint is so real ladies, it's not even funny! Shown above is one coat without a top coat. If you would like to read my review on this polish, check out my blog post "Drip Drop... it's almost Halloween!" by clicking here. This is a must have polish. I've said it a million times and I will say it a million more. "Yoga Pants" will forever be my go to black creme polish!


Mani time!

The amount of drippy, holographic goodness in these two pictures is OUT-FREAKIN'-STANDING! I am soooooo in love with this mani... it's ridiculous! The polishes I used to create this mani are "Yoga Pants" by Drip Drop Nail Paint, "I Aint Fraid of No Ghost", "Ectoplasmic Residue", "EEEK!", and "Slimer" by Ooh La Lacquer. If you would like to see my reviews on the Ooh La Lacquer polishes, check out my blog post "It's time for some Ghostbusters!" by clicking here. I used a dotting tool and a fine detail brush to create the ooey, gooey drips. Aren't they fantastic?!

"I Yam Stuffed" is a burnt orange jelly polish jam packed with various shapes, sizes, and colors of glitter. Shown above is one coat without a top coat. This glitterific jelly is out-freakin'-standing! The formula is perfection and applying it was smoother than yam puree! I am IN LOVE!

"Pie for the Masses" is a bright orange jelly polish filled with gold, peach, orange, and rose gold flakes throughout. Shown above is two coats without a top coat. This polish is absolutely delicious! I have never wanted to eat a pie (pumpkin pie to be exact) more in my life than I did when I put this baby on! The formula is amazing and applying it was as smooth as can be! I am obsessed!


Now it's time to show you all my base!


For the base, I used "I Yam Stuffed" and "Tighty Whities" by Drip Drop Nail Paint. That white creme seriously makes "I Yam Stuffed" pop like crazy! Gahhhh.. "Tighty Whities" you are AMAZING!

It's time for some Ghostbusters!

Today I have Ooh La Lacquer's Halloween 2014 Collection - "Ghostbusters" to share with you all! This collection is made up of four AMAZING polishes. Get ready to fall in love!


Swatch of "I Aint Fraid of No Ghost"


Macro shot of "I Aint Fraid of No Ghost"


"I Aint Fraid of No Ghost" is a gray linear holographic polish. Shown above is two coats without a top coat. This polish is STUNNING. I seriously had trouble taking it off. I am absolutely in LOVE with it!


Swatch of "Slimer"


Macro shot of "Slimer"


"Slimer" is a neon green linear holographic polish. Shown above is two coats without a top coat. When I put this baby on, all I could say is "WOW!" The neon green color is SO INTENSE, I could not believe it! You better put some sun glasses on when looking at this bad boy in sunlight. It may just blind you! Haha, totally kidding.


Swatch of "Ectoplasmic Residue"


Macro shot of "Ectoplasmic Residue"


"Ectoplasmic Residue" is an electric purple linear holographic polish. Shown above is one coat without a top coat. Yes ladies, you read that right... ONE COAT! Obviously this is my favorite of the four. If you haven't learned already, you are about to right now. Purple is my ALL TIME favorite color, hands down! Nastassia (Creator of Ooh La Lacquer) has made so many amazing purple linear holographic polishes and I love them all!


Last but not least, here is a swatch of "EEEK!"


Macro shot of "EEEK!"


"EEEK!" is a green and purple holographic glitter bomb. Shown above is two coats without a top coat - no undies necessary! If this isn't Halloween in a bottle, I seriously don't know what is. This SCREAMS Halloween... literally. The name says it all. Haha!


Ooh La Lacquer's Ghostbusters Halloween Collection is one word - AMAZING! I said it in the beginning of this blog post and will continue saying it until I get tired of hearing myself say it... which probably won't happen. Haha! The formula on each one of these polishes is perfection and applying all four was smooth and easy. These polishes are available for purchase right now! So don't wait another minute, go buy these beauties! If you would like to do so, you can visit Nastassia's store by clicking here.

Drip Drop... it's almost Halloween!

This evening I have two polishes from Drip Drop Nail Paint to share with you and two Halloween manis that I did using those two polishes as the main colors.


First up, is "Yoga Pants"


"Yoga Pants" is an extremely opaque, black, creme polish. Shown above is one coat without a top coat. Yes, I said one coat! That is all you need ladies. This baby is FLAWLESS! The formula is amazing and application was smooth and creamy. Just like it should be!


Next up, is "Tighty Whities"


"Tighty Whities" is a super opaque, white, creme polish. Shown above is one coat without a top coat. Jessica @b_jessica_3 (Creator of Drip Drop Nail Paint) is on a roll with these one coater cremes! This one is just as amazing as it's sister, "Yoga Pants." The formula is perfection and application was flawless. Keep doing whatever you're doing Jess! I am LOVING it!


And now it's mani time!


Ahhhh! FUNNY MUMMY'S! Run for your livvvvves... haha! I am pretty much obsessed with these little guys. I tried doing a watermarble to create the mummy look and failed so I ended up using a striping brush which turned out pretty good in my opinion. The polishes I used are "Yoga Pants", "Tighty Whities", and "Raspberry Daiquiri" by Drip Drop Nail Paint. I got the various sized rhinestones (Product ID# 12409) from Born Pretty. If you'd like to purchase these rhinestones or check out more products by Born Pretty, click here


And now it's time for mani number 2!


Look at all them spooky eyes! Aren't they adorable, yet creepy? Haha! The polishes I used are "Yoga Pants" and "Tighty Whities" by Drip Drop Nail Paint and for the colorful spooky eyes I used "First Date", "S.O.S.", "Pale Leaf", and "Powder Puff" by Eighty4. I did this mani with Jessica @b_jessica_3 and Alison @candiedapplepolish for Bestie Triplet Nails. Below is a collage of all of our manis together.


Don't they all look amazing! If you would like to purchase any of the Eighty4 polishes I used to create the spooky eyes, or check out more polishes by Eighty4, you can do so by clicking here.

I'm back!

And I'm coming at you in full, holographic goodness, force! Today I have a Bestie Twin Nail Mani that I did with my wonderful friend, Alison @candiedapplepolish, to share with you all. Below is a collage of our manis.


Aren't they gorgeous?! I am absolutely obsessed with the design that Alison came up with. Her mani is on top and mine is on the bottom. Now that my nails are shorter and I have a new shape, you are actually able to tell the difference between our nails. They were almost identical before!



Now it's time for my base! Alison and I both used the exact same polishes to create this mani. The polishes we used are "Berried Treasure" by Drip Drop Nail Paint and "Goldie Faun" by Ooh La Lacquer. Shown above is two coats of both polishes without top coat. If you would like to see my swatches and reviews on these polishes, you can do so by clicking here and here. You can also see an absolutely gorgeous video swatch of these two beautiful holographic polishes in action by clicking here.



Solo shot! I used a dotting tool to create the polka dots and for my accent nail I attempted to do the drag marble technique. I definitely need more practice! The striping brush I used was too thick and I am pretty sure that's where I went wrong. But its okay. Practice makes perfect and as long as you learn from your mistakes, you will be good to go! Unfortunately "Berried Treasure" was a limited edition polish and can no longer be purchased. But if you would like to check out Jessica's (Creator of Drip Drop Nail Paint) store to see all the other amazing polishes she has, you can do so by clicking here. If you would like to purchase "Goldie Faun" or check out more polishes by the absolutely wonderful Nastassia (Creator of Ooh La Lacquer), you can do so by clicking here.
