Creepy Pumpkin

Good Morning Babes! So I finally got around to doing another Halloween manicure, I've just been so uninspired. Anyhoo what I have for you today is Fantasy Makers Creepy Pumpkin by Wet n Wild. Creepy Pumpkin which is actually not creepy at all, is a orange jelly base packed with orange glitter. The formula is very thick and goopy, and you will need to allow a little bit of dry time in between coats or you will have to remove and start over again because it will drag horribly. I used 3 coats and there was still some visible nail line, but with this polish I actually think it doesn't look bad. I topped it off with INM Out the Door and let it sit for about 10 minutes, and then I stamped with BM 225 with Konad special polish in black. I used Seche as my top coat and I really like how it came out. You will need to use a good top coat because it dries a little gritty.



Here's Creepy Pumpkin on its own. I actually really like this a lot despite the bad formula.

What do you think about Creepy Pumpkin? It can be found at ULTA and other places like Walgreens for $1.99. Thanks for stopping by :)

OPI He's My Boo

Good Morning Babes! Today I have OPI He's My Boo for today's mani. Yesterday was just a horrible swatch session, so I threw this on because I couldn't get it right. I will definitely have to make up for that today. He's My Boo is from the Spookettes mini collection, its your regular standard orange tone. This polish is a cream but the formula is very streaky and didn't even out until 3 coats. Dry time was ok but not the best, however it dried to a very glossy finish. I used a pumpkin water decal that came in the set, Nubar 2010 (this polish is thick, try very thin coats) just to see how it would look, Seche, and then I mattified it. It was very thick because I did a lot but I said I would post whether I like it or not because I'm learning as I go, so here's how it came out...

My decal has a wrinkle in it :(

Mattified and I bumped my ring and pinkie finger
 It looked better before 2010 and matte. Eh bleh hopefully lovely things come to me when I swatch today. How do you like He's My Boo and what I experimented with it? Thanks for stopping by
