What?!?! Two posts in ONE DAY?!? What is this insanity? It is only Officer Friendly and the Silent Samurai Praying that I am Dead.

*Purchased*
Hello Lovelies!
   I know this is pure insanity that I have not one but two posts today. But this EOTD is just too lovely not to blog about. Notoriously Morbid has recently started up a monthly subscription and it is continuously impresses me each month. Due to the wedding chaos, which is thankfully over, I haven't been able to blog about the Vanishing Cabinet. However I finally get some time to open up this collection and take a look at it.


My poor makeup was locked up like zombies in a hospital until recently
     To my glee and surprise this collection was based off the Walking Dead...
Yup, you know that show that EVERYONE is talking about...

 However, I was wondering how Carrie and Laura were going to portray this collection since it is a zombie based series. Where they going to go with the traditional zombie gore colors or were they going to do something different? And to my very pleasant surprise, this collection is mainly neutrals. I chatted with Laura about this for a bit and they wanted to do colors based off the characters. Which I really liked. While I love zombies and gore colors, and truth be told I am not much of a neutral girl, it can be a bit overwhelming this time of year.

So many zombies... all over the place! What about zombie love in July?!?!



   So, I dove head first into this collection and this is the look that I came up with. While everyday is Halloween for me, most people not so much..

Daryl is totally with me that everyday should be Halloween..cause Al Jourgensen says so
    I created this neutral eye that you can wear to work and secretly support your love for zombies and shout that EVERYDAY IS HALLOWEEN without worrying that your boss will give you the bung eye.
That blue liner there.. is Silent Samurai foiled.. Yup beautiful isn't it? <3

I used the following products on this look
 Notoriously Morbid's Cherokee Rose, Officer Friendly , Pray I'm Dead and Silent Samurai (foiled as a liner and on the lower lash line as well) from the October Vanishing Cabinet
Notoriously Morbid'sSo Goes My Nation (highlight) from the Slayer Collection

  But I know that you are going, Dreadful, this is a Limited Edition and I NEED IT. 
Seriously look at that liner! No really you can have it too ....
    Well lovelies Notoriously Morbid is going to be listing the overstock of the colors soon so be sure to check out the Facebook pageand the Facebook Fan Page to see when. You can pick up these colors and more on the website and be sure to follow them on Instagram.

So, until next time lovelies!

Mani Monday: No Power in the Verse Can Stop Me

*Purchased*
Hello lovelies!
   I am back again with another installment of Mani Monday! And if you are a super big geek like I am you did this when you read the title...

OMG a FIREFLY REFERENCE?!?!?!
   Yup that is right, today I am doing a Firefly Mani Monday feature!

I know I am super excited too!

 While I know that there are a lot of polish companies that have done a Firefly collection, which the rabid Firefly fan in me wants to collect them all, today I am doing a feature on a special limited edition run.  Yup, that is right. I said limited edition. And we all know that limited edition means, that if you don't get this polish you feel like you are in...
I feel this way every time I see something is limited edition.
Quickly followed by this emotion..

LIMITED EDITION?!?!

Then finally breaking down into this...

WHY does it have to be LIMITED EDITION?!?!
  But this lovely little polish was one of the options for the Notoriously Morbid's Vanishing Cabinet for July. It consisted of four shadows which were inspired by Firefly and either a lipgloss (for the international customers) or a polish. After the Vanishing Cabinet sold out, Carrie was kind enough to offer any additional extras up for sale on the Notoriously Morbid site. So immediately I picked up this polish, cause seriously FIREFLY. Enough said. 

Yup, I am Firefly Obsessed


No Power in the Verse is listed on the site as the "first Morbid Mani polish full of microfine holo glitter in black and purple, mixed with holo blue, holo silver, rosy pink and black shards." While this polish is JAMMED pack with a wide variety of glitters I would say that you need a coat of "undies" underneath this polish to really bring out the depth of all the glitters. I mean just take a look.

All the fancy glittery goodness!


I wish the sun would fully cooperate with bottle shots..

The sun DID however come out for nail shots.. Forgive my Reaver Clawed hand

Makes me think that the whole verse in on my fingers

And a close up shot...Pretty isn't she?
   Due to it being so jammed packed full of glitters dries matte and can be a bit rough. The simple solution to that is just a topcoat to help smooth out everything and to really bring out the depth of the shine. I used the following polishes on this mani:
Nail Trek II (base coat)
Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter A Peel (trying this is my first time which it is supposed to help with glitter polish removal so stay tuned for an upcoming review)
Sinful Colors What's Your Name (for undies 2 coats)
Notoriously Morbid's No Power In the Verse (2 coats)
Gothic Gala Lacquer Smooth Me Over (1 Coat)
Vapid Lacquer's Get Your Shine On! Quick Dry Top Coat (1 Coat)

 So if you hurry over to Notoriously Morbid there are seven mini bottles left of this limited edition polish though I do hope that Carrie and Laura make this part of their permanent upcoming line. (*insert an obvious hint hint) and you can snatch up for $4.00 which is a steal. You can also follow Notoriously Morbid on Facebook, Instagram and their Facebook FanGroup. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of Mani Monday and until next time lovelies Stay Shiny and Enjoy Captain Tightpants!

Captain Tightpants wants you to watch Firefly and loves this polish too!
