Aussie Nail Christmas Challenge - Gold

Hi all, todays mani is one of the last in the Aussie Nail Challenge. I've still been a bit under the weather, so much so I am not going to my own work Christmas Party tonight :(  I did do a mani for a wedding I went to yesterday so I incorporated the Gold theme for the challenge as well. I wanted to do a simple and not to OTT mani for the occasion and luckily I received my order from Femme Fatale Cosmetics which had a lovely gold glitter that I really wanted to try! So exciting. So for this look I used Zoya Sooki for the base, a gradient of Femme Fatale Crimson Acolyte and an accent nail with Femme Fatale Eventide. The Femme Fatale glitters are just gorgeous..I love this look!

 Femme Fatale Eventide has some pink glitters in it as well as the large square glitter you can see that are holographic. Eventide had me at bar glitter as I am a sucker when it comes to bar glitter! Application was easy with only a bit of dabbing to get the glitter where I wanted it. Crimson Acolyte has the same small pink glitters in it so ties in nicely with Eventide without me really thinking about and I loved the varing degree of blingyness of this mani! :)

This is Halloween Nail Art Challenge- Horror Movies

I love Halloween and the thought of all the spooky things and things that go bump in the night, but alas, Australian's are not really into that sort of thing with Halloween. So when Lacquer Dreams came up with a Halloween challenge on the Aussie Nails Facebook Group, how could I resist. My only problem is that I can't freehand..I can barely draw a stick figure in a normal picture, so my artistic talent is naught in general. To be honest I didn't give artistic-ness a crack this particular mani and I guess that will be minus a few points for lack of effort but I do love what I did. It's Horror Movies with glam-ness!

The October 1 mani is 'Horror Movies" and I chose to do an abstract version of A Nightmare on Elm Street as I have always loved Freddy and the nightmare concept. I like scary movies, I just don't like the music and tend to cheat and fast forward a bit so the music doesn't creep me out! LOL. I thought for ages about what movie and what I could do, but alot of nail art I could create just wasn't "me"...so this is what I went with.

For this mani I used China Glaze Sydney Sand as a base and I stamped using Konad Q1 stamping plate in Zoya Sooki. I then dotted some red glitter with China Glaze Ruby Pumps. To me it kinda looks like the razor claws that Freddy uses ..scratched across each nail. I think the middle nail is my favorite as it has that just swiped off centre look :)
