Divergent Faction Nails

I actually did these nails about a month ago but I figured with the movie coming out on Friday I would go ahead and get these babies posted. I enjoyed the books and I'm really looking forward to the movie. As you can see, I did one faction per nail. I may do another full mani soon, in which I will add a link to that post in this one.

Pinky: Abnegation

Ring: Amity

Middle: Dauntless

Pointer: Candor

Thumb: Erudite (there is a better look in the next photo)

I do not recall which polishes I used for everything, I meant to take bottle shots and completely forgot. The stamping on the Amity and Erudite fingers are from the Bundle Monster CYO set, Dauntless was freehanded, and the Candor and Abnegation nails were taped.

I can't quite choose which faction is my favorite, but I do think I belong in Amity. Though I do think the Candor nail is my favorite, I have been intending to do a full manicure of that design.

A couple of Halloween nail art contest entries.

I came across a couple of fun Halloween nail art contests online recently and decided to give them a try. Both looks were done with 100% nail polish, no acrylic paints. Honestly, I loathe paints/sharpies being used in manicures. Look #1: For Ms. Lizard's contest found here.

Look #2: For Short & Sweet in Texas' contest found here.

Both contests are still open and both blogs are lovely, give them a look.

Mish Mash Mani

This is one of those manicures that happens when I buy a few new things and I don't have the patience to wait to try them out and I just squeeze them all into one mani. The new polishes that I picked up today were Take a Trek from the newest holo line from China Glaze, I snatched that up for $2.50 at Sally's Beauty Supply. I also grabbed Hard Candy's Jaw Breaker at Walmart. I love love love the new Hard Candy polishes, especially this little group. Jaw Breaker has black and white hex and round glitter as well as some lime green bar glitter. Sadly the green doesn't show up as much as I had hoped, but I'm thinking my navy base may have something to do with that. It's still great though. I knew going into the China Glaze holo that these were fairly weak, and they are, so with the nearly gone sun and my aversion to artificial light I couldn't grab a picture of the holo flash. I stamped on the skull using a plate from Mash, plate 29 to be exact.

I snapped a photo of everything that I used, and I'll list all colors below.

Base coat: Seche Clear. Colors: Sinful Colors in some navy blue that doesn't have a tag on it (sorry!), China Glaze in Take a Trek, Hard Candy in Jaw Breaker, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Green With Envy (not pictured, oops), Nail Art polish from Dollar Tree in gold, and my top coat is NYC In a New York Minute. One more look at the Hard Candy glitter:
