Manicure Mondays...Gothy Glitters

Ok so some of you already got this down but yes...I love being a little goth chicky. But that doesn't mean I don't love my glitters! I just tend to like em a little darker is all. Here are a few Black Based glitter polishes I am obsessed with right now...

First up: 
MAC Everything That Glitters...
So I hadda go with a bottle shot on this one cause I couldn't get it to pick up all the beautiful colors once it was on my nails. This is a black base polish With Bronze, Magenta, & Turquoise fine glitters. I used to coats and had full coverage. No problems with Dragging either. I would definitely recommend adding a top coat cause once dry it looked just a little dull. Unfortunately I started to chip around the edges after just 2 days but to be fair I am in the process of moving right now. That said this glitterbomb is certainly a must have!
Next we have Wet N Wild Rest In Pieces.
   This is part of the 2012 Fantasy Makers Halloween Collection so you should still be able to track it down for now. I used 2 coats of this black based polish with superfine purple glitter and no top coat. Great part is after 2 days of packing I am still good to go!!

Finally just a random polish this week...
Julep Polish in Nora....
This polish came in my November It girl Box. It is a Matte Suede finish polish and I was not Disappointed with the look. It is actually a bit more purple than the photos show. I used 2 coats here. It dries super fast too! Now I rarely use a topcoat and that was a HUGE mistake with this polish! Literally I put it on after dinner one night, Did just the dinner dishes, & The next morning I have huge Chips Everywhere :( The box did come with another polish and top coat though so once the craziness of moving is over I will try that out and let you know if it helps. I really did love the polish so hopefully the top coat will prolong the wear.

Shadowy Looks...

Ok so with my move here next week I figured I would just post these all together cause I got so much going on right now. Just a couple of Shadow looks from this week....
For this looks I used Urban Decay Primer Potion, The Manic Panic in PsychoDrama, & Rimmel Lash Accelerator. I used the Primer potion on my lids from lash to brow. Then I used the white cream shadow from lash to brow as well. I used the black pressed shadow on the outside half of my lid to just above the crease. The purple Pressed shadow I used on the inside of my eye and to just under the brow bone. I also used it under my eye. Then I applied the black cream liner both above and below my lashes. Finished with the rimmel mascara.

For this simple look I used Urban Decay Primer Potion, MAC Fresh Green Mix Mineralize Shadow, Wet N Wild Color Icon Silver Liner, & Rimmel Lash Accelerator.

 Finally I have what I think is my favorite look right now ;) I used Fyrianne Pixie Epoxy as my base, Fyrianne Shadows in Sultry Samhain & Purgatory, Urban Decay Shadow in Cherry, Kiss EZ Lashes, Caylin Gel Eyeliner, & Dior Extase Mascara.

This look is from My Julep October Maven box. I get the it girl box. The base is 2 coats of Leslie which is a fab black with silver sparkle polish. Then for the accent nail I used Glenda. It is a silver crackle polish.
For my mid week mani I was feeling the purple. I used 2 coats Mary Kay Polish in Intensity. Unfortunately I had some serious dragging issues with this polish so I didnt bother with a pic. Over that I applied 1 coat of Daring Digits polish in Flying Purple People eater. It is a great Purple and silver glitter topcoat. It has great coverage, dry time, & No smell. I love it!!
Finally today I am still on a purple kick! I started with 2 coats Wet N Wild Wild Shine polish in Eggplant frost. I am sure most of you know by now I have a love/hate thing with Wet N Wild. I hate that it takes FOREVER to dry but I love it is super cheap and the colors are great...
Over this I added Sephora by OPI Crackle polish in Purple glitter. I am kinda digging the way the glitter added a sort of matte look somehow...

Couple Shadow looks from this week...

For this look I used Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy as my base. The shadows I used were Fyrinnae in Purgatory, Ulta in Flirty, & Urban Decay in Cherry. Bonne Belle Black Ink kohl eyeliner & Rimmel Lash Accelerator complete the look.

This day I decided to play with some oldies I had laying around.
I started with Urban Decay Primer Potion as a base. I used a darker purple MAC shadow but the label was worn and I cant read it. Next I used Medusa's Makeup shadow in Electro Purple but as you can see it is more pink. Under the brow I used urban Decay Cherry. Under my eye I used rimmel exaggerate liner in purple Shock. Finished with Rimmel Lash Accelerator mascara.

Sugar Skull Makeup...

What I Used:
White Cream Halloween Makeup
White Powder foundation I got at Hot Topic
120 Color Palette
NYX Silver Glitter Liquid Eyeliner
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Liner in Radium
Bonne Belle Kohl liner in Black Ink
Rimmel exaggerate liner in purple shock
Rimmel Lash Accelerator mascara
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Cailyn creme Eyeliner

I started by applying the white cream makeup to my entire face and neck....
Next I applied the white powder foundation to set the cream makeup...
Using a blush brush I applied a dark gray shadow in the hollows of my cheekbones down all the way around my chin...
Next for my eyes I applied urban decay primer potion from the lashes to my brows. I used a typical shadow brush to ring all the way around my eyes with a heavy black shadow.
I used the Bonne Belle Black Ink liner on my waterline. Apply 2 coats of Rimmel Lash Accelerator mascara.
Using the pencil I added the black on my nose....
Using the black liner I drew out the outline of the flower on my chin...
Then filled in each petal with a super pigmented color...
Using the kohl I drew out the flowers around my eyes...
Next I Used the kohl on my forehead for the spiderweb and gem...
And at this point I spaced and stopped taking pics :( But from here....
Using one of your bright shadows fill in the flowers around your eyes.
I used a purple to fill in the "gem". Then on top of that I added the silver glitter liner.
Using the Purple Shock eyeliner I added dots around the petals of the flowers.
Using the black liner pencil I drew out the curl across my cheeks.
At this point I used the Cailyn creme liner to go back over all my black lines to make em pop.
Then I drew a line with the kohl liner from each corner of my mouth and added vertical lines across my lips.
Using the glitter liner I went over the black lines on my cheeks as well as the lines of the spiderweb.
Finally I used the Urban Decay Liner in radium to draw out the dots around the curls on my cheeks.
