Vivid Lacquer: Plate VL007 Stamping

When I saw this design at The Clockwise Nail Polish blog, I fell in love with it! I happened to be wearing a soft champagne gold holo from Ever After Polish called Creature of the Night so I found a Vivid Lacquer design that I thought would work great for this!

I like the original design from The Clockwise blog better than mine, but I am happy with my results.

What is your most recent design inspiration?

Hit Polish: This Is Halloween

Happy Halloween ya'll!
Did you or your littles dress up and go out trick or treating? I'd love to hear about it!
I stayed home this year and spent some time with Jas. So I decided to post last year's Halloween manicure, since I didn't post it last year.

I purchased This is Halloween from Hit polish. It's a glitter topper that features several of my favorite colors - purple, green, black and orange - in a variety of sizes and shapes. I wore it over East Austin from Color Club.

This polish is no longer available but you can find other glitter toppers at Hit Polish's Etsy store plus she is running a clearance sale right now!

I hope you all stay(ed) safe and had a great holiday!

Ever After: Rocky Horror Revamp

xoxoJen's swatches of Ever After Rocky Horror Revamp

The Rocky Horrer Picture Show is something that I have never seen live or on television. After swatching these, I feel compelled to watch it and familiarize where the inspirations came from because these are such beautiful polishes! I've worn two coats of each with top coat except where noted. The formulas on all of them are stellar, as we have come to expect from Ever After. I've used the descriptions as supplied by Rachel, from Ever After.

Creature of the night: gold shimmer holo with gold holo micro glitters

Dammit Janet: rich purple holo with gold holo micro glitter
(This one is a little on the sheer side and may need three coats depending on your polishing technique)

Time warp: silver linear holo with platinum silver flakes
(I wore three coats to insure no VNL for photos, but you might get away with two heavier coats. I would bet this can be used as a top coat as well!)
