Matte About Halloween Week 2017 Mani 7 The Final Mani

Happy Halloween, friends! Today is the last post for my Matte about Halloween series. I hope you’ve enjoyed it this year! I always have a lot of fun with this little matte series. Today we celebrate with the loved or hated..... candy corn!

For this sweet mani I chose 3 Polish ‘M shades for my base. I chose to start with 2 coats of Candy Coated, and my drybrush splotches are Rosé & Electric. The candy corn image is from What’s Up Nails Creepin’ It Real plate, and the happy Halloween image is from UC Beauty Halloween 02. I topped it all off with Glisten & Glow Matte top coat...the chosen top coat for this years matte series.

Matte About Halloween Week 2017 Mani 4

Hello lovelies! For today’s “mahw” mani I’m switching it up with a base idea I got from a friend! She mentioned pastels or some brights and the more I thought about it, the more I loved the idea. So I paired some brighter shades for my base and then added a little touch of creepy....

I decided on a random gradient using 3 shades from Glisten & Glow. I chose Jukebox & Jitterbug, Your Mountain Is Waiting and 98 3/4 Percent Guaranteed. I sponged them over one coat of G&G Wedding Gown White. I topped the gradient with a coat of Colores de Carol Wizard Lizard. The web image is from UberChic Beauty Halloween 02. Both spider images are from UC Halloween 01. I love rhinestone spiders the most (ok, fine... they’re the only spiders I like, ahhh!) This year I went with black multichrome rhinestones and I love the contrast against the base.

Matte About Halloween Week 2017 Mani 3

Hi friends! It’s day 3 in my “mahw” series and this might just be one of my favorites this year! As soon as I had this polish in my hands I knew I was going to use it as a base shade for a manicure in this series!

Here’s a little creepy living dead cemetery for you!

First I started off with a base of Polish ‘M 1313 Mockingbird Lane. Once that was dry I chose my images, all of them are from the UC Beauty Zombie Love plate! Once my stamping was complete I topped it all off with a coat of seche vite and a coat of Glisten & Glow Matte top coat. My preferred matte top coat for this years series!

Matte About Halloween Mani 8 the final Mani!

Happy Halloween my lovelies! It's time for today's mahw manicure! Sadly it's also the last one in my mini series. Over the last week we've had graveyards, bats, witch feetsies, spiders, a kick ass candy corn gradient, a kitty skelly and a sassy skeleton... what's it going to be today....?!

Happy Halloween Ghosties!!

Lol how cute are those little ghosts?! Truth is I used a lot of Polish 'M polishes in this series as well as the UberChic Halloween plates but I have to say, they're really some of my favorites. A lot of the images are kick ass and well all of polish 'm polishes are beautiful and need to be talked about.

I knew for sure I'd be using this polish for my final look. This beauty is Polish 'M Where My Witches At? sadly you can't get this anymore as it was a part of the Halloween creepy crelly crate. But don't worry, Michelle has and will have many more amazing polishes for you to choose from. To be honest she has some of the best polish in my opinion. Her formula is pretty amazing and pretty damn consistent. Highly recommend!!!! Ok enough rambling, after wmwa? was dry I stamped on the ghost and Happy Halloween images from UberChic Halloween 02, top coated, and Matte top coated with Opi Matte top coat. That's it, easy peasy Halloween stamping!

Matte About Halloween Week Mani 7

Hi lovelies! Today is day 7 in the series! The days are just flying by! For today's mahw I've got more Polish 'M love going on, totally obsessed!

I've used two of her upcoming Christmas colors! (mhm you read that right). I was chatting with Michelle while doing this mani and mentioned that I do love Tim Burton and he's cool with mixing Halloween and Christmas so why not?! Lol! Onto the mani!

The two upcoming Polish 'M polishes I chose for the gradient are Little Drummer Boy & Holly Jolly Christmas. The kitty and kitty skeleton images are from BornPretty plate Bp-L057!

(Upon a closer inspection I noticed a whole lot of tiny kitty bootyholes too. Once I saw it I couldn't unsee it so why not share that little fun fact with you all. I'm pretty sure it's meant to be his little legs separated. But I see what I see ok?!)

Matte About Halloween Week Mani 6

Hello, hello! For today's mahw look I attempted my first ever candy corn gradient! I can't believe I've never done one before so there was no better time right? Of course I added some stamping because the more easy art the better!

For the candy corn gradient I used FingerPaints neon base coat for my white, Zoya Cam for my orange and Opi My Twin Mimmy for my yellow! The images are from UberChic Halloween 02. I mixed black stamping polish with white stamping polish from the same brand making my grey stamping color. And a random black stamping polish that is more opaque for the single skull images. Like always I topped with a coat of seche vite and once dry a coat of Opi Matte top coat.

Matte About Halloween Week Mani 5

Hi loves! In my last mahw post I brought some creepy little spiders to my blog. Today I have a cute whimsical mani for you! How about a little witchy stamping over a watermarble?

UberChic Halloween plates are seriously some of my favorites. I love these images of little witch legs and shoes. The stockings and twirly toed shoes are adorable. I decided on these images and then watermarbling popped into my head. For my marble I used a few Zoya polishes, I love how they marble. I started with a base of Purity and for my marble I used Cam & Liv from the Sunsets collection along with Pipedream polish Clearwater. Once it was all dry, after stamping I applied a coat of seche vite and a coat of Opi Matte top coat.

Matte About Halloween Week Mani 4

Hello lovelies! Today's featured mahw mani is one of my favorites! I hope you like it as much as I do. Links below to all of the manicures in this series that I've shown so far!

Truth be told, I am not a fan of spiders. They creep me the fuck out. But I do a spider mani every year and this years is one of my favorites!

The base for my creepy crawly spiders is the Polish 'M Halloween duo, I started with Bugs & Hisses and then sponged The Great Pumpkin in random spots. I really love these two polishes glossy or matte (glossy swatches can be found on the polish 'm fan page found here). The spider and web images are from UberChic Halloween 02. Once I was done per usual I applied a coat of seche vite and once that was dry a coat of Opi Matte top coat!

Matte About Halloween Week Mani 3

Hi everyone! Today is post 3 in my mahw mini series! I'll leave links below if you'd like to see my first two manis in this series. Today I have this Trick or treat skelly mani for you!

I've used Polish 'M Bugs & Hisses for my base. My pointer and pinky rocked some skull and crossbone stamping decals. To stick my decals to my nails I used my new favorite sticky base coat from Vibrant Vinyls, shes taking a short break but she will be back before you know it! I completed my stamping with a little trick or treat image and cute posing skeleton! All of these images are from UberChic Halloween 01. After top coating and allowing to dry I applied a coat of opi Matte top coat.
