Halloween Nails for 2013

I almost forgot to post this! EEK!!

Its a rainy Halloween here in Green Bay tonight and we've had 1 'trick or treater' in the last 2 and a half hours. Bums...

Anyway, here are my Halloween nails - the classic bloody mani!  This is 2 coats of Essie 'Mademoiselle' as a base, and I used ORLY 'Grave Mistake' for the blood. This might be the most perfect color EVER for blood. Its a buildable color so the thicker you apply it, the darker it becomes. I LOVE it. The color is most accurate in the 3rd photo.

This mani is SUPER simple and, while it kind of looks a bit messy up close, at a normal distance it looks fantastic! I got lots of compliments! Whats on your nails!?

Incoco Halloween Fright Night Collection 2013

Press Sample

Hey ghouls! (Yup...I said it. Wanna fight about it?)

Incoco sent me their 2013 Halloween collection and I was immediately excited to give them another try! If you recall, my first experience with Incoco was not so fab, but so many of you told me that you loved Incoco and that I definitely needed to try again...so here we are!

I don't know what I did differently this time, other than taking my time a little bit more, but the strips applied so much more easily! After I stuck the strip on and smoothed it out, I rubbed the hell out of each nail to make sure they sealed properly around my cuticle and along my free edge. Short, gentle, downward filing sealed the tips nicely - no puckering edges this time around. I've now had these babies on for over 24 hours and they have survived 1 shower, 1 small load of dishes, 3 thorough face washes, and 1 full shift at Lane Bryant and they still look great! Plus I got tons of compliments to boot! These strips are definite attention grabbers :)

The 2 sets I have for you today are Fright Night and After Dark. I really loved both of these sets and thought they would look amazing together! After Dark is a gorgeous black (Incoco's website says its a dark purple) 'creme' to brilliant orange glitter gradient (ombre) strip that is really stunning on its own. I LOVE the bright orange bling against the black (dark purple?). For as thin as the strips are I was a little concerned about it covering my smile line completely but you can't see it at all!

Fright Night is just freaking perfect! Each nail strip is a little bit different but all of them feature adorably spooky haunted houses with headstones, zombies and bats 'stamped' over the same gorgeous orange glitter featured on After Dark. The detail on these strips is really great! I think my favorite one is the one on my middle finger in the photos below - I love the hand coming up from the ground!

And here they are together! LOVE. IT.

After Dark, Fright Night, Fright Night, After Dark

So...What do you think? This experience has definitely renewed my faith in Incoco and I am really looking forward to showing you guys the other 2 sets soon (they glow in the dark!)
