Halloween 2010 + Mini Haul

I did my nails at the beginning of October and never got around to posting it! Whoops! These pictures were taken when my nails were already starting to get worn out (and on a cold day... so my hands were dry!) Nothing special, just black, orange and quite polish along with some stickers floating around my box.

Mini Haul at Sally's

I wanted to do some green and purple halloween nails last week but realized I don't have the right kind of green that I had imagined. So... off to Sally Beauty Supply with my sister. 

Picked up this "Green with Envy" color by Orly (love the rubber grippy handle!), a little sparkley nail polish, and some nail files. The big grey one is a replacement for the other one I've been using. I'm not actually sure how often you need to replace nail files but my other one is "gross" so I figured that's as good a reason as any to buy another $1.50 file. The skinny one should come in handy for filing the little edge that always shows up underneath my fingernail after I'm done shaping. 

That's all for now! Time to wrap lumpia then do my new halloween nails. I bought some glow-in-the dark nail polish too, so that ought to be fun.

Evil ghost nails

 It's amazing how fast October whizzes by. Wasn't I just saying I'm excited for having multiple weeks of Halloween Theme nails? And now November is right around the corner.

Before anything else, can I just say... I love the new topcoat I got from Avon. It's awesome and perfect.

What I used:

• Base Coat: Avon Nail Experts Smooth Beginnings Base Coat -- 2 coats
• Color on Orange Nails: 
• OPI Nail Lacquer in "In My Back Pocket" -- 3 coats, maybe? This stuff is really thin. 
•  Nicole by OPI in "Razzle Dazzler" -- 1-2 coats.
• Color on Yellow Nails: Sephora by OPI Nail Colour in "Cab Fare" -- 3 coats minimum. 
• Stickers: Professional Nail Stickers by Sinyemei. These stickers came from three different sheets (ghosts, bluish stars, white stars) I wish I could give you more info on them but they don't say much on the packaging. 
• Glitter: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in "09 Disco Ball"
• Top Coat: Avon Nail Experts UV Gloss Guard Top Coat -- 2 coats. 
• Drying Agent: Drip Dry by OPI Lacquer Drying Drops -- 1-2 Drops per nail.

These nails feel really comfortable, compare to the last few weeks. Maybe it's the way I filed them or something, but they seem much more wearable. That, and I can still use my thumbs to type on my phone without pressing down more buttons than I need to. I have the LG Xenon w/ the pull-out qwerty keyboard so sometimes square ends can really make it difficult to text...

Okay that's it for Halloween, I guess! Till next time!
