Green and Gold Ruffian

So here's the first ruffian mani I've ever done. I really like how this looks, but next time I wont put the top color so close to my cuticle. I tried this one with all shiny top coat first and didn't like it. I think it looks so much better with the green matte and the gold shiny.

 The colors I used for this look were OPI Goldeneye and Kleancolor Military Green.

Icicles!

  I'd been wanting to do this for a while, half matte icicles!

I used a ton of colors for this. Here goes, The base colors are two coats of Zoya Dove, then one coat of CND Ice Blue Shimmer then one coat of Butter London Matte top coat.

The icicles are plain white striper polish, then white acrylic paint. One coat of Essie Luxeffects Pure Pearlfection over the them, then some loose blue glitter and then a very thin coat of Zoya Frida. Finish off with Seche Vite over the icicles and done.

  I was going to do a tutorial, but honestly you just need a base color and a white polish/striper. Start with two coats of your base polish color and let that dry and then do some crazy, chunky white lines!

Flesh and Blood

    Yay! More Halloween themed nails! So, I know just about everyone has done the blood nails, but I really love doing drip style nails so here are mine! This is also my first time trying matte/shiny nails. The blood is shiny and the "flesh" is matte.

   I tried to do the splatter nails with the straw... that did not work out. Haha That ended in one big bloody mess. 

    For this I used The Skinner from Black Cat Lacquer for the "Flesh" and Pillar Box Red from Butter London for my "Blood"  The cartoony shininess accents  were done with white acrylic paint. The matte top coat that I used was the Butter London matte.

   To do this, I used two coats of The Skinner and then one coat of matte top coat. Then I went back and drew on my blood drips and finished those with top coat only on the drips. 

FLOAM

     Oh man, am I excited for this!  I finally scored a bottle of Floam from Ninja Polish. I've been waiting for this to be restocked for a while now, and when I saw a post on Instagram about it being available I jumped at the chance to get this! It finally arrived today, and I was so excited that I had to take off my other mani just to put this on.

Hit the jump for awesome pictures :D
