Kell's DIY Nails

Shade Last Saturday I went to Knott's Scary Farm to see Elvria and her show, Elvira's Asylum . I'm a HUGE Elvira fan so my main goal was to meet her in her Boo-tique but I quickly found out it wasn't all that simple. In order to get a ticket to the Meet & Greet you had to be there when the park initally opened and bought $50 worth of Elvira merch. I have never been to Knott's before so I had no idea that it would take an hour and a half just to park. Needless to say we didn't get inside the park until 10 minutes before 9pm. Luckily, we got into the first show just in time. Incase you're wondering about the show it consists of Elvira's usual shenanigans (I mean that in a good way too). You will get a lot of her banter, wit, and jokes along with dancing skits with her team of dancers and an arial trapeze artist. She even does a little rap number. It's a pretty short show but I'm a fan of B Level Entertainment and raunchy humor so I a...

When it comes to Halloween and October it turns to the macabre and spooky in my life. Scary movies, haunted houses, the ouiji board, and don't forget the scary decorations. It figures that I wouldn't put cartoon pumpkins and cats on my nails. No smiling spiders here. LOL That's where Jane's Tiny Things comes in... with her Fright Night Decals .  From Left to Right: FingerPaints , Catwalk Queen with Goblin Decal. * OPI, Don't Talk Bach To Me with Witch Decal. Julep, Adrianna with Zombie Decal. * OPI, Don't Pretzel My Buttons with Vampire Decal.   Frankened White Polish (1/2 Zoya, Purity & 1/2 China Glaze, Dandy Lyin' Around) with Evil Clown Decal. I apply these decals like temporary tattoos and applied a coat of ACI's In A Hurry Air Dry Top Coat . *OPI is no longer Cruelty-Free but I purchased the Germany Collection back when they were Cruelty-Free.

I did quite a few Halloween Inspired full face looks this month but didn't get photos of them simply becase this month has been so hectic with our sudden move. I've had to literally SQUEEZE time in to do the looks but there wasn't any time to photograph them. Except for this one. So, here it is! The eye is a basic smokey eye but I extended it out a bit to make it longer at the outter eye. It was done using the 5th column of Urban Decay's Vice 3 palette . I applied Defy to the majority of my lid and up into the crease. I deepened the outter corner with Revolver and also brought it up into my crease. I then used Angel to blend the crease up and out. I applied Last Sin to my brow bone. This gives you a very shimmery result which I think is great at Halloween but also great to amp up a look.  I used My Pretty Zombie's Drugs Like Me Blush in Morphine to the hollows of my cheeks. I applied this very sparingly because a little will go a very long way. This is a metal...

Right after I finished yesterdays post my Dollish Polish order arrived; I ordered her LE The Walking Dead release called Walker Bait and 4 Halloween Themed Glitter Minis. I had to put Walker Bait on right away. Walker Bait is this awesome deep olive green super holograpic polish. It's like Toxic Avengers' creepy cousin. The formula is much more opaque than your typical holo and only required 2 coats. But it is like other holos in that you don't want to overwork it when applying. In the past I have been able to remove the large sqaure caps for easier polishing but this cap did not want to budge; not sure if maybe the bottles have changed or if I just couldn't remove this one. This polish was named after the character Glenn in The Walking Dead because in one of the earlier seasons he was referred to as Walker Bait. It is a fantastic color and since I sadly missed out on Toxic Avenger I'm glad I got this one. It was originally released a few years back but it was re-...

It's the 1st Day of Fall today and I have been eagerly anticipating this day!

Sooo... It sucks that I didn't have more time to play with my nails this October. If there's one thing I love it's Halloween and I would have loved to have had more time to do more Halloween nails; especially some nail art. Alas, it was not to be so I thought I would revisit my October Nails instead. It's all I got. Barry M, Dusky Mauve Haze Glaze, Party Rockin' Zoya, Opal over China Glaze, Smoke & Ashes Naild'It, Duck Call over Illamasqua, Omen & Oujia Finger Paints, A Grape Catch Duri, Kingdom of Shadows and last but not least my favorite mani and what I am currently wearing... Lucky 13 Lacquer, Fool of a Took! I hope you are all enjoying your Halloween and stay up late enjoying the night. Sadly, I must be in bed by 7:00pm so I can wake up at 3:00am to go to work. Works really cramping my lifestyle right now. LOL Happy Halloween!
