HALLOWEEN MANI TIME! And my Wet N' Wild Tombstone Collection

I'm totally obsessed with holiday polishes. Halloween being my absolute fave. I really love the Wet N Wild Fantasy Makers line of tombstone shaped polishes. I won't lie, I mostly collect them because of their uber cute bottle. 

Anyway, my awesome friend Jen picked up a couple of the new 2013 polishes. She also sent a couple cute extras for me too. Jen is such a sweatheart! 

Anyway, here's what she sent: 

Ghouls Rush In

Once Upon a Time

Here's some "flashback photos" of my Tombstone collection before these new ones were added: 

Do you like my holiday manis? Do you collect holiday polishes as well? 

WINE/NAIL NIGHT: My Friends' Nails

Now for another segment of NAIL/WINE NIGHT. A time for me to catch up with my friends, drink a little wine and put my polish stash to some actual use. 

Check out these designs I put together, with the help of my friends of course: 

Lacie's Nails

Sharon's Nails

 Kim's Nails

So what do you think of these manis? Which one is your favorite? Do you have nail parties? 

Holiday Mani: My "Holly" Polish + Red Glitter Gradient + Silver Stamping=

This was a fairly simple holiday mani. It took a little more effort than I usually put into nail art, but it was completely worth it. This is a very dramatic and festive manicure. 

I started this mani with two coats of my own "Holly" polish: 

For the next step I did a gradient with Wet n Wild "Rockin Rubies" glitter polish. I used a make-up sponge to dab a few layers of the polish on. 

Then, to finish off, I added some shiny silver stamping with various designs from my Bundlemonster stamping plate sets. 

My "Holly" polish, as well as my other polishes are for sale NOW at the following site:

Random Act of Polish Kindness from Alaina and My Wet N' Wild Fantasy Makers Collection

Let me say, I was having a HORRIBLE day. A really down kind of day. The kind everyone has, I suppose. Till the mail came! 

A wonderful lady named Alaina surprised me with 3 polishes from my WISHLIST. 

Her letter, her kindness, and the beautiful polishes really turned my day around. 

Thank you so much Alaina!!! :) 

DUPE ALERT!!!!
While the names may be different, only one of the 4  2012 Fantasy Makers Tombstone line is a completely new one, and that's the Once Upon a Time, which is still a dupe of Behind Closed Doors, but at least it's in a new cute bottle.

There are 3 others that were released for 2012 which are simply renamed polishes from past lines. Regardless, I still wanted these. Some of my bottles are a little less than mint condition and since these are smaller bottles, I am happy to have back ups.

The 4th polish, not featured in this post, is a glow in the dark polish. 

And here is some Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Spam.
I am an avid collector of this line and I couldn't wait for this line to be released. 

Do you collect these polishes? Aren't they adorable and very seasonal?? 

Swaps from Jin and Lisa

I have some of the best polish friends. I luz them soooo much!!! Look at all this nail mail I got from a few of them last week.

First up, is a very sweet swap from my friend Lisa. 

I love these colors and I love that she did a holiday theme. How cute!!! 

 Revlon Mon Cherry

Pure Ice Celestial

Pure Ice Don't You Wish

Next up is a stupendous swap package from my friend Jin from Superficially Colorful. I have grown very close to Jin in a very short amount of time. She is friendly, funny, and she is helping to introduce me to products in Isreal. I luz her!!! 

Thank goodness I hurried up and took a picture of the candy inside the box, because not a moment later, I walked away and came back to my 2 year old toddler, Roman, foraging through it like an animal.

And here's the beauties that were inside the box: 

I finally added my last tombstone WnW to my collection. Two mini Zoya Mod Mattes and another Mari Moon Hits...so my other one won't be lonely. SCORE!!! 

Zoya Lolly

Hits Mari Moon

Wet N Wild Black Magic

Zoya Mitzi

 Not even a day after receiving Jin's first lovely package, a second one arrived. YAY!!!!! Packed with all kinds of goodies. And MORE CANDY!!! I actually got to enjoy some of the candy from this package. 

These are yummy scented, tinted lip balms. They are very alike to the Revlon Baby Lips. I love them! 

What a great swap package! Jin is so thoughtful and sweet. 

Perfect Chic Red Metalix. This is a new and welcomed brand to my collection. 

 And here's a random shot of what's on my feet and toes. It's Sinful Colors Mint Apple layered with Sally Hansen Glass Slipper. Does anyone else try to match their toes and hands? I usually don't. I wish I had better pictures of this mani, because it really was quite stunning in person. It looked like mint colored glass on my fingers. 

Welp...that's all for this post. Stay tuned for my official store opening sometime later today.
