Another Fall Haul

If you don't know this by now...I'm a horror junkie. 
Anything eery, scary or creepy and I'm like fat kid in a candy shop.
So naturally, Halloween is my favorite holiday, and
 when I saw China Glaze's collection, "Awakening", 
obviously I had to have it.
Who cares if I have similar colors already,
just the names alone made it a MUST have for me.




But the other reason why I got it was because
Ick-a-bod-y reminded me of Fortune Teller
I was one of those poor unfortunate souls that was WAY too late to grab this amazing little gem. 
And though I'd LOVE to get my hands on this color, 
I'm not really up to paying $38 on E-Bay.
(Yes, this was the latest bid I've seen on there)

After playing around with it, it's no replacement for Fortune Teller
SIGH.

But still, it is a great color and does have a similar effect when paired with a black base and topped with Matte Magic


I'm thrilled with the set, and can't wait to use them
In my travels, I also picked up 2 colors from Color Club's latest collection,
"Untamed Luxury"
Snakeskin and Soft As Cashmere, as well as Plum Luck
from  Sally Hansen.

Plum Luck is exactly that, a rich plum cream. While I love plum, we shall see about this color, because it dries a bit darker...and I want a more vibrant plum.



Soft As Cashmere is a cool grayish taupe. A definite go-to color for Fall.
Snakeskin is the real winner of the bunch. A metallic gunmetal gray base with gold shimmer. 
Ohhh yeah, momma likes!!




Can't wait to use these and see what goodies I can create with them!

Newest Collections

Ok, so call me a dork, 
I'll wear the badge proudly, 
but I am SO in love with my two latest collections at
my Etsy shop, Littlest Charm Factory.


These button stacker's give the illusion of plugs, but without the pain or commitment. I'm a wuss when it comes to pain, SO I'm down with that.






These are the 12 colors I've got available, but I am always open to taking suggestions or custom colors and arrangements.



~**~

And my second collection, Silhouettes
Perhaps its just the simplicity of the shapes, or perhaps it's the 
stark black in contract with it's white background, but I've 
been obsessed with them for as long as I can remember.
Why not bring that beauty to a piece of jewelry?
Here's a few pieces from the collection. 







Aren't these fun? I have many up on the shop now, with loads more to come, especially some for Halloween  :)
( Giddy laugh)




To check out these collections, as rest of my goodies,

Elvis Presley featuring VivaLaNails

So, I've had several requests for an Elvis inspired look just over the last month alone...so I finally caved. 
LOL, I'm kidding, for someone who was weened on Elvis, 
it was a total blast to do these nails!
All the glitter and rhinestones were sent to me by VivaLaNails
for review purchases. 
The truth is, there is no one company that makes better rhinestones or
other various nail art accessories,
but what I can tell you is that VivaLaNails has an 
amazing selection of nail art & nail art accessories, which for me, makes me a loyal customer, because it saves me time, and energy and shipping!
2 thumbs WAY up for 1-stop shop!

Ok, so unto to the design
