Welcome back laqueristas,
I know it hasn't been all that long since I posted a megathon of art and swatches for Elevation Polish and this month is very special because it brings the return of the fantastic Journey Through Music Collection Part Deux as well another gorgeous one of a kind Yeti. And if that wasn't enough this month is the Annual EvP Charity Auction! Unfortunately the collection was so big that I could not swatch and art them all out at once. It was just beyond me so I decided to split the post into 2 parts. Part 1 will cover 4 polishes and Part 2 will cover the other 3 polishes and more Yeti's. So a few things - below I have placed the links to all the songs each color was inspired by in the title of the polish; all you have to do is click. And please forgive me if my swatches and photos are a bit different this time since I got a new camera and I'm still getting the hang of things - eep! Now let's get started!
Ratatouille Strychnine
A shimmering pink and blue flecked shimmer topcoat inspired by Tori Amos' Mr. Zebra. This one can be made to wear solo if you are committed. It will take about 4 coats to reach opacity or you can do like I did and cheat and use a similar colored base color and then top it with this glorious shimmer! It worked out perfectly it took about 2 coats to make it more opaque and less of an accent, but in my trials playing around with this polish I've found it looks gorgeous over a variety of shades including layered in between semi-opaque polishes. When this polish hits the light just the right way you see flashes of blue everywhere as pictured below.

Halloween 2013: Spiderwebs and Cherons feat Vivid Lacquer Image Plates
Happy Friday fellow lacqueristas,
Today I've got some uber cute nails to show you! I decided to try out a few of my newer Vivid Lacquer stamping plates, and let me say I'm loving everything about them! I wanted to try and create some fun nail art that was pretty and Halloween themed without heading down the pathway of gore. Lol that's not to say I won't be heading down that pathway ever but I am more of a glamourous and pretty type. That had me reaching for my Vivid Lacquer plates which feature just enough fiendishness combined with pretty to satisfy my tastes.
I'm not sure if you knew but Anni recently created a Autumn/Halloween themed plate. What I love the most about it are two images in particular! One is a huge spiderweb. It could easily stretch across all 4 of my digits if I stamped it serially. The other is a graveyard image that has yet to be used but it will be shortly. This is a cute and versatile plate that has the potential to create about 5-10 or more Halloween mani's if you got creative. I'm not sure if it's currently available, but you can get it here.
So what do you think? I haven't done a trigger finger mani in a long time so it's funny that when I once again pick it up it's with Essie yet again. Lol what can I say I am a die-hard Essie girl! In any case I am so in love with how this turned out. As you can see I mutated the chevrons a touch to make them more interesting then I connected the gap with a black striper brush. I hope you like it and stay tuned for more awesome Halloween nail art as the month progresses! Thanks for reading and see you next post...
