#31DC2014 - Day 29: Inspired By The Supernatural

Guys, I've got a confession to make: I didn't paint these today. Nope. I actually painted these last year for Halloween 2013. I never posted them, they totally fit with today's theme and it's finally close enough to Halloween for me to post them, so here they are.

I got the idea for these because my cousin texted me a bunch of inspiration pics that she found. Little did she know that I'd end up not doing just one design, but every one! I added a few of my own too.

I won't list what polishes I used because I used way too many.

I told you that Jack Skellington would make an appearance sooner or later!

These are getting me into the Halloween mood even more. I don't have a cute pic to go along with these, so here's my newest freestyle that I just posted on my youtube. I used the beat to Eminem & Rihanna's "The Monster" so it goes along with these nails perfectly.

Been an admirer of Karloff & Lugosi

It isn't really that far off if you know me

And monsters make better company than the ones I meet

Approach these crowds a bit uncomfortably

You couldn't stop & refrain from mocking us as insane

When you're the one getting laughed at, at Mockingbird Lane

What's with the cocky wordplay?

I enrolled in Monster High, now I eat off the popular plate

#31DC2014 - Day 22: Inspired By A Song

I knew from the start of this challenge what song I was gonna use for this, Eminem - Survival.

I've been wanting to paint the Call Of Duty skull on my nails ever since the music video came out last year. Plus this song just makes me wanna jump up and start spittin the best punchlines I've ever written.

I did the skull on my ring finger, the signs "THIS IS SURVIVAL" and the "quit" with a line through it, and then I just did plain black matte and tried out doing camo for the first time.

I used Love & Beauty - Ivory, Hot Topic - Matte Black, and four colors from the Sinful Colors Adventure Island collection - Adventure Island, Seaweed Green, Open Seas, and Rise & Shine. I also used a black Kiss nail art striper.

Oh you know my copy of MMLP2 is the deluxe edition!

I love that skull so much, I don't really wanna take it off tomorrow. Can I just keep these nails and use the lyric book from this CD for my Inspired By A Book post?

LDTTWC - Day 3: I Remember When...

Hey guys! Today is Day 3 of Neverland Nail Blog's Let's Do The Time Warp Challenge, and the theme is I Remember When...

The funny thing is, I had the most trouble coming up with an idea for this one. I mean, you can do a design based on any special event in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD or your own personal one. This has gotta be the most open ended day of the challenge and it stumped me!

I finally decided to do a design in honor of my Grandma, and her 83rd birthday party. We threw her an awesome luau in her backyard, and it ended up being her last birthday with us. It will forever be a special memory I have. These nails are based on the design of the dress I wore. This is the one theme day where I KNOW nobody will have chosen the exact same thing!

I used:
Sinful Colors - Bianca
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - French White Creme
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Black Creme
L.A. Colors Art Deco Stripers - Hot Pink
L.A. Colors Art Deco Stripers - Red
L.A. Colors Art Deco Stripers - Black

I also used a video from that day as inspiration. I remember walking around taking video of everything, even the food, and I'm glad I soaked up as much of that day as possible. Except since I was behind the camera and busy with that, there's no pictures of me from that day that I know of. To add to it, both my black striper AND my regular black polish have gotten thick. This will do, especially since I totally didn't even want to attempt to accurately redo that pattern, haha.

I honed my rap skills in my Grandma's yard over the years, and as you can see behind me, my uncles had their instruments there too and played. These family parties are what I miss so much about my Grandma's house and why the memory of that day will always hold a special place in my heart! :]

Slaughterhouse Blood Splatter Nails

I might've mentioned on this blog that my favorite hip hop group is Slaughterhouse, and if you're familiar with them, you might like this post. If not, consider this the first Halloween post of the season.

Tuesday to most of you was August 28th. For us House Gang fans, it was Slaugust 28th, the day their much anticipated 2nd album welcome to: OUR HOUSE came out, their first on a major label (which just happens to be Eminem's Shady Records) and a day I've been looking forward to.

I wanted to do theme nails, because I've seen music inspired nails on other blogs before, but none inspired by Slaughterhouse, or any of my favorite rappers. The inspiration for these came from the artwork to their first album, their EP, and a picture of a house that was on the front page of their site a few months ago. Dark, dreary, grey, and blood splattered. Right up my alley.

I used:
a mix of Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Black Creme and French White Creme
Sinful Colors - Ruby Ruby

I did the blood splatters with a straw. But this method? I'm resisting the urge to drop profanity that would probably make all 4 grown men in Slaughterhouse blush. It is MESSY !!!!

And if you're like me and used red? Oh it will look like you murdered someone. Peep this collage I posted on Instagram:

I never played with Halloween fake blood (which is probably a surprise to some people ha!) but if it's not long lasting then nail polish will do the trick. These would be great for Halloween. Or if your name is Miss DeVious DiVa you'll rock these in August like it's the hot new thing.

Remember when I did a verse to their Hammer Dance beat all about The Hunger Games? You don't? Let me remind you then:

#LadiesLoveLyrics
#RealHipHopIsBack ;]

I Said You Get No Love.

NEW YOUTUBE VID GUYS!

Yeah. I'm really excited, it's been awhile. And this freestyle uses the beat to one of my favorite songs, Eminem ft. Lil Wayne - No Love.

Please comment, subscribe, and share! 

Now yall know I had to have done matching nail art for the dress I wore in this, right?

My favorite was my right thumb, I think it looked the most simple and the most like my dress.

I used:
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - French White Creme
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Black Creme
Sinful Colors - Bianca
Sinful Colors - Irish Green
Sally Hansen - Brisk Blue

Blurry pic of the ring I had on.

Now, I mustache you a question: did ya like the freestyle?

Feature At My Hunger Games

Hey guys! I'm excited to tell you that I was picked as Fan of the Week for my rap freestyle over at My Hunger Games !

Here's the link: Hunger Games Fan of the Week - Brigitte

It's very cool to be recognized by fellow Hunger Games fans, and I am so appreciative of it. <3

Happy Hunger Games! Part 2.

Here's my FOTD and OOTD. I used to have a black skirt that had flames on it but I couldn't find it. I think it got donated. This would've been the perfect occasion to wear it, right? I pulled this red patchwork skirt out since it went along with the colors I wanted to use for my eye makeup. The necklace, from Love Culture, complimented it since it has a big silver arrow on it. Hunger Games fans will get that reference.

Outside the theater, it was so windy!

For my eyeshadow, I knew I wanted to do flame colors but not like INYOURFACEBRIGHT! colors, so I went with a black smoky eye and did the flame colors in the crease.

With flash the sparkles lit up!

I knew I wanted to use a gold eyeliner as a nod to Cinna. I love Cinna. So I busted out my Milani gold eyeliner. It wouldn't have looked as good over the black on my top lid so I used it on my lower lid.

I used:
M.A.C Blacktrack Fluidline as base & liner
M.A.C Carbon eyeshadow
M.A.C Fab & Flashy eyeshadow
Bloody Mary Red eyeshadow
M.A.C Retrospeck eyeshadow
Milani Gold Liquif'eye 03 Gold eyeliner
Hard Candy Carbon Black Ginormous Lash Mascara

Oh and about that Hunger Games rap? HERE IT IS! Come for the punchlines, stay for the Peeta meme at the end!

Pink Zebra

Hey guys, this is a mani that I did awhile back for a birthday party. I decided to match my nails to my dress.





Sinful Colors - Bianca
Konad Special Polish - Black & Plate M57

I still need to get a good topcoat that won't smear the black Konad polish.

Here's a pic of me in the dress:


Some of you may know that I rap. Here's a vid from that night, a freestyle I wrote to Eminem & Rihanna's Love The Way You Lie.



Hope you guys enjoyed it. I wanna do some fun Christmas manis before the big day next week, but I got a lot of stuff still to do. I wish wrapping and rapping were the same, I'd get it all done a lot faster haha.
