Halloween Nails (times two) featuring Kleancolor, Nails Inc and a-england

Happy Halloween everyone!!

I couldn't decide on just one Halloween mani so decided I would do a post with two ideas I had.......

Kleancolor Metallic Orange with Nails Inc Camden Crackle

The first one me and my friend Fi came up with while trying to plan her nails,  we wanted an orange base with black crackle, simple but striking and very halloweeny.

I decided a shiny or shimmery orange base was more what I was looking for than a creme orange, and since I hadn't used Kleancolors Metallic Orange yet that was the best choice, and I will show you it without the crackle first.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and no top coat.



Then I added one coat of Nails Inc (black) Camden crackle and 1 coat of the Shield.



And here is my second idea...

Nails Inc Floral Street and a-england Camelot with Spiders

Anyone who knows me, knows I hate spiders, even these little stickers on my fingers creeped me out a bit.

But as it is Halloween I soldiered through, again I wanted to keep things simple, so monochrome seemed the way to go.

The sheet of stickers I wanted to use had mainly black spiders and a few white so I done 4 nails with Nails Inc Floral Street and 1 nail with a-england Camelot and put the opposite coloured spiders on each nail.

I will not show you Floral Street or Camelot alone as I have already done this here and here.  So this is 1 coat of the Knight then 2 coats of each polish with the stickers placed on top and then 1 coat of the Shield to seal it all.




I hoped you liked my halloween nails and please feel free to leave me a comment <3

Nails Inc Old Compton Street with Nails Inc Camden Crackle

First off, I will take this chance to tell you all I received some new polishes today, Color Club ones, I have seen these on quite a few blogs and was eager to try them for myself so when I came across the Starry Temptress Set on eBay for a very reasonable price I had to snap them up.  I received these polishes today and will try and get them swatched for you over the weekend, as need to get more Tinfoil for this process to make it easier on me with the removal :p

Anyway, back to todays colour, I have for you Nails Inc Old Compton Street, I got this as part of Nails Inc Sorbet Collection, last summer I think.  This also contained Pelham Place, which I have shown you before with a-england Guinevere.  The others in this four piece set were Palace Mews and Stanhope Gardens.  Stanhope seems to have found a new home somewhere along the way but I will try and get Palace Mews swatched for you at some point if you would like?

Here have a few pictures of Old Compton Street alone, I really cannot say enough good things about this blue, it is one of my favourite colour of polishes for sure, and the application is very streak free and opaque in 2 coats.

So here is Old Compton Street with 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the colour and 1 of the Shield.




After a three days of this polish, which lasted chip free through usual daily rigmarole and also a First Aid course, I decided to give it a new lease of life with Nails Inc Camden crackle polish.  I absolutely love the contrast of the black and the blue of this mani.




I apologise for the not so great lighting in the second set of photos, there was a rather big spider in my spare room (where I take all my photos) and I was in a rush to get out of there, but despite that I hope you liked this mani and again, please feel free to leave a comment when you visit as I do love reading them <3
