Fright Night Claw Polish, Orly Halloween Collection and Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner!

I was at my internship yesterday and we got a halloween pumpkin candy bucket thing filled with candy and costume jewelry and to my great surprise nail polish! So I jumped on it. It turned out to be one of the new Fright Night Claw Polishes.

This is Sinister, it is a black creme. Nothing special so I decided not to swatch it, I'm sure all of you know what black creme polishes look like. I do love the bottle though. I thought about buying a few of these when I saw then at some store then I decided against getting them. I am actually really impressed with the quality of the bottle, the glass is super thick. However, the cap is kind of annoying because it's such an awkward shape, it's kind of hard to find a comfortable way to hold it. 

These are the new Orly halloween polishes, they released this on facebook. Classic black and orange and then there's Goth, a black with multicolor glitter (as far as I can tell).

And now! Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner! I am super excited about this liner and I will tell you why...

First, the liner is liquid but it is in pen form! 

Second, the tip is a felt tip instead of a brush, so it is easier to control the line that you get.

This was swatched on bare skin. Now I'm not the makeup guru of We are the Wicked, but I just had to post this. You can see from the picture that is it really opaque and really nicely pigmented. Also, this dries SUPER fast and it does not smudge or budge. If you are a little eyeliner impaired like I am, you should definitely invest in this. I've used gel liners, but I feel like they take a little more skill and effort than I have, and I have also used e.l.f pen liners similar to this one, but the tip was a brush and they dried out really quickly. This liner also lasts a really long time, the first time I used it, it actually lasted 12 full hours which is crazy!

I bought on Sephora's website because they are having their Friends and Family sale, its on until 11/2 so you should get on that! This year you have to enter your email and Sephora will send you a one of a kind code. 

Also, Illamasqua has free UK shipping on all orders with code UKFREE, and free international shipping on purchases over £45 with code INTERNATIONAL45. This ends at midnight on 10/30, so hurry!

Until next time,

Blood Drip nails! New Stila nail polishes! OPI App update!

I really liked the Blood Splatter mani that I did, but I wanted to try and do something that looks like dripping blood. This is what I came up with.

So first I did two coats of OPI Mummy Knows Best, then I look Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Cherry Red and put a little blob of it at the top on my nails, then took a tooth pick and dragged it down. And then Seche to smooth it out.

Depending how you look at it, it could look like flames, which is cool too. I may have to try it with flame like colors and see if it still looks like fire. 

So, all of a sudden today everyone started tweeting and talking about Stila just coming out with nail polishes. I was at work, so I didn't have a chance to check my email but when I got home, there it was, an email from Stila about their nail polish. They came out with two, four polish collections.

And finally, OPI has updated their iPhone app. 

OPI announces the re-launch of the OPI Application for the iPhone® and iPod Touch®. The updated OPI App continues to offer an easy, free way to browse and search over 200 OPI nail lacquer shades – now at faster speeds. The Try It On Color Studio continues to provide a look at all current OPI shades, while the search feature now incorporates retired shades, allowing users to view past favorites and information about the year in which those hues were retired.

The updated OPI App also includes higher resolution images to further enhance visual displays. In addition to running faster, the application now has the capability to wait in the background while other programs are used, namely Facebook. This feature gives users the option to check OPI’s Facebook page without having to leave the OPI App.

“The improved OPI App gives fans the chance to try on lacquers easier than before. The App’s Try it on Studio has been hugely popular, and we are happy to improve upon and expand it. It’s a great resource when choosing your lacquer at the salon, since you can get an idea of how a color looks on your hand before committing,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “The portable nature of the OPI App makes it easy to take while shopping and choose a lacquer shade to accessorize any new dress, top or jacket right there in the store!”

The OPI App also includes a search bar with word prompt technology; after typing just a few letters, any possible options will be proffered. Since its original debut, the App has added a sort-by-collection feature, highlighting current collections and promotions so that users will know what’s new to the brand. The App even lets users select favorites, storing lacquer choices for future reference.
