Halloween Nail Art Challenge: Pumpkin

Hey hey everybody. So i finally decided to join a nail art challenge, I wanted to challenge myself and since this one isn't everyday I think I can manage to be on time. I will record tutorials for each of the manicures I will do and will upload the to my YouTube channel so you can recreate my manicure if you want.

This challenge will be actual fun and weird in a way because in Greece the Halloween isn't in October but in February so I don't know what people who will see me here with horror related mani will think about me haha but hey, I don't care I'm gonna do whatever I want on my nails :P.

I normally should have posted the 1st one yesterday but I ran out of nail polish remover and it was Sunday and the stores were closed so basically I had to wait till Monday to remove my old mani and do a new one.I present you my Halloween pumpkin nail art design :D

As you can see I wanted to do cute pumpkins and not scary ones. I did pumpkins only on my ring and pointing fingers the rest are simply orange.And here are all the themes:

Here is the video tutorial so you can recreate this mani if you want. If you do so, feel free to tweet me @AnneColt your picture.

What do you think of this nail design? Let me know in the comments below

Flakie Polishes: Nubar 2010 review

Lately the quite new fashion trend for nails is the flakie polish.There lots of companies that make those kind of polish with small differences between them.Such companies are Sally Hansen,Finger Paints,Essie,Inglot and of course Nubar.

To be honest I haven't tried other companies' flakies but I know for fact that I'm in love with the Nubar 2010.Basically it's a polish like normal top coat which contains flakes,reflective glitter, that gives you a pretty effect depending on what polish color you have underneath and the way that light shines on the nails.

That kind of polishes look better with black or generally dark background colors but you can get nice effect and with light colors like white,light pink etc.Personally I prefer to wear it with dark colors like royal blue or black.

What company says about it:

"nubar celebrates ten years of creating safe and innovative nail lacquers free of DBP (phthalate), formaldehyde, and toluene with nubar 2010. This fantastic shade consists of flakes of reflective glitter in a polychromatic base, and displays its many shades when worn alone as a sheer polish or layered over other nubar nail lacquers for a dramatic effect. The limit to nubar 2010's possibilities is your imagination!"

Price on the official site: $8.00

I bought Nubar 2010 for ebay.com for $5.25+shipping around $3 i think from this seller who apparently doesn't ship to Greece now and I don't know why :/.

Here are some photos

Conclusion: I would defiantly recommend this polish if you would like to make your nails looks fancy with an easy way.I'm so glad I picked Nubar 2010 up and I'm in love with it
