That's two coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Purple Potion topped with the orange glitter in clear base pumpkin and then the silver and black in clear pumpkin. I so wish they gave these names, but I guess if they printed all those different labels, they might have to charge more than $2.49.
The above shot shows one of the hazards of working with these chunky glitters—the dreaded overhanging chad.
Yesterday I took my glittery tips to a nail meetup, where five of us polish lovers spent hours talking lacquer (and swapping it and enjoying a holo show and tell). Near the end of our time together, we cleared off thet table to take this group shot:
From the top middle, that's Rachel Marie, Katrina (whose other hand had a completely different set of wonderful holiday designs), Christine (who really should start a blog), me, and Diane (ditto on the blog; she brought two boxes of holos to show us, including some I'd never ever seen in person before). Rachel and Katrina brought gift bags for everyone; here's my goodies—that candle smells divine:
I also got some goodies from the swap boxes, but those will have to wait for another day, as right now I need to head home to pass out candy to the trick or treaters. Well, I don't have to, I want to, because I love seeing all the costumes.
Ohhh that is different and I like it!!! Very cute!

ReplyDeleteGreat Idea a polish meetup, isnt fun to find people that have the same nail polish affinity that we do, and not looking at you like your crazy! Cant wait to see what you got!

ReplyDeleteI love your mani! So nice to see some purple mixed in. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a rockin combo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful combination, I love how you made purple and orange work so well!
ReplyDeleteMeetups are the best.
I have always thought of purple as kind of a Halloween color. As far as the glitter overhang I swipe my finger around the tip to push the glitter back on my nail so it doesn't hang over, hate that. I love the pumpkins glitters and how you layered them! Your meet up looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Meetups seem like a lot of fun. Love the glitter combo!
ReplyDeleteSuper nice nails. I also like the sally Hansen instant dry topcoat.
ReplyDeleteSince when did purple and orange go together? YIKES! Am not a fan of this at all! But love the fact that you look at nail stuff while you commute-eyes on the road my dear!!
ReplyDeleteI think it is a lovely combo!
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies! The meetup was indeed fun; I'm hoping we can do another one soon, but it's so hard to coordinate schedules even when it's not holiday time.
ReplyDeleteFingers, now you're just being silly. :) I only do nail stuff at stoplights (and when I work from home, get two hours that I'd otherwise be in my car to do with what I will, and I generally will to play with polishes.) As far as purple and orange, all that Halloween merchandise can't be wrong!
