mini halloween haul

Just got a few colors after looking around ill probably try to think of a look or use them in something

Crystal clear by NK nail enamel just a clear coat

 White by KleanColor its a nice cream white but the formula is too thin for my liking in the picture i used two coats of it.

 Spicy By NK nail enamel its a normal red color with a cream finish. I'm really picky when it comes to red polish so I'm glad i found one i liked finally for some reason I don't like reds with shimmer in them unless its full on red glitter.

Klean colors black was a nice find because its just that...black its a cream finish and it was very opaque i really liked this one and it was inexpensive.

Klean colors Garnet Red was a bit of a let down. I thought the color would be a darker almost black from the bottle. But when i did swatches it the polish was so thin, and when you look close enough it had some very small bits of shimmer... its not too bad tho i think i need to do more then two coats to get the desired color out of this one and the shimmer isn't so bad that it scared me away now that I'm wearing it the color has grown on me...just not enough to buy it again.

Brittle Nails? Well no more....

Over time Ive noticed my nails get thinner and more brittle. I used to be able to grow out my nails quite a bit. Now its get harder for me because they break. So I was looking for some hopefully quick treatment for this because I miss my long nails and want to keep growing them out. So I went and picked up some Sally Hansen, Thicken Up!

Me using Thicken up!

The directions are easy enough put on one or two coats on bare nails and add a new coat every 3 or 4 days, and remove after a week. So far Ive been using it for three days and I don't notice too much of a difference. Although new nails do feel a bit stronger like when you use a calcium shield on them. I haven't noticed them get thicker. The website says that "nourishes, hydrates and protects thin, weak, brittle nails....Shields nails with layers and layers of ultra-dense nail protection." So far i have no complaints and the product seems to be working. I did use it as a base coat and I really like it, Ive had no chips so far.

Think Pink

 

An older design I came up with, it was simple and well balanced. Sorry for the blurry picture I didnt have the best camera.
