piCture pOlish Vampire

6 comments

After all the pastel, bright and neon polishes, my DarknTwisty heart was craving something a little darker. This polish is everything I was craving in a bottle. It's deep, it's dark, it's vampy and it applies really nicely.

Picture Polish Vampire is a deep blood red jelly and if you don't like this polish, well... like the bottle says: Bite Me!


The formula was really nice, although a little on the thick side. But that is the case with a lot of jelly polishes and it still flowed on the nail with ease. It was almost opaque in just 1 coat, but I did add the second one, to deepen the color and truly get what you see in the bottle. This dried really fast and so glossy, you don't really need a top coat, but of course I did add my HK Girl, just because I always do.


Isn't that pretty? Not what you'd call a typical Summer polish, but it's the perfect break from all the brightness. Because it's a jelly formula, it looks so squishy and glossy. This is definitely very dark, but it never looks black. Even in the shade, this still looks red, albeit a more brownish red.


I absolutely love it! Not only is this a gorgeous deep blood red, I also love the name and text on the bottle. I always feel like a rebel wearing this and it gives me a Bite Me! attitude, even more than I usually have, lol.

Do you have a polish that gives you the feeling you can take on the world?

Mani Monday's: Halloween

5 comments

I have been looking forward to this weeks theme for ages! I love Halloween and am totally dissapointed that we don't celebrate this holiday here. I love watching scary movies, the costumes, the kids that dress up in the most adorable (and shockingly gruesome) costumes. Nothing beats a five-year old dressed as Freddy Krueger or Edward Scissorhands!

So to make the most of this weeks theme, I decided not to just do Halloween for Mani Monday's, but do an entire week of Halloween inspired mani's: It's Halloweek on DarknTwistyNails!!!

To start this week, I have another attempt at nail art and I actually think it turned out ok. It's dark, twisty and Halloweenie (is that even a word?)

When I think of Halloween, I think of carved out pumpkins, blood, horror movies, vampires, zombies and all that kind of wonderfull things. For this mani I got inspired by vampires. Teeth, blood, crucifixes, heartbeat... I ran with it and made a fun nail art. I used just a few polishes for this art:

My boyfriend scales walls, Liquid Leather, Vermillion and OMG
I used a nail art brush to create some teeth and blood droplets for the vampire mouth on my middle finger, a crucifix  on my ring finger with OMG and a blood red heart on my pinky finger. I have golden stars for the night sky on my pointer, but I realized you can't actually see that in my pictures... Note to self: get all nails in shot next time!



 
Do you love Halloween as much as I do? What is your favorite thing about it?
