Halloween Week Part 3

Hello out there my pretties! Whoa, that sounded in my head like the witch from Wizard of Oz. Weeeeirdddd. Halloween is really getting into my brain.Anyway... Today's post is another quickie because (shhhhh!) I'm writing this at work. Don't get too huffy and puffy, I'm currently not being paid for this time at work so it's fine. :P I'm hosting a Halloween party this evening so I knew I wouldn't have time to write this post otherwise (no, this isn't my party mani, but maybe I'll show that belatedly!).

Today's mani was made using Orly RIP which came out this year. I actually whined about not finding this enough that TWO people sent me bottles haha! Glad to have backups ;) It's your quintessential black base with orange glitter. I did two layers over Wet n Wild Ink Well. On my ring finger I skipped RIP and put orange crackle (because, sadly, I didn't do ENOUGH crackle when it was popular so I sneak it in now and then...). Unfortunately, this crackle didn't crack too much. Humph. Stupid crackle making me look crazy!



Then, because I can never leave well enough alone, I matteified (matted? added matte? mattied?) the glitter and it's BEAUTIFUL. For some reason it still looks glossy on all but my middle finger, which I'm guessing is from a) the top coat not being 110% dry when I took this or b) the lighting reflecting. Either way, pretty cool!


xoxo,
Amanda

LOVE IT! I love RIP. I'm totally going to wear it just like... anytime. Even in summer. Except that I'm sure I'll keep buying new polish to wear so... anyway, I'll think about it a lot! :)

I kinda like the not cracked crackle... it looks unique. And I think it's 'mattified'. At least, that's what I always say. . . Yay for R.I.P.!

Me too! I was surprised how much I liked it matte actually. I need to do this to more glitters!

Hahahaha yeah, I don't know that I have any polishes I've worn more than 2-3 times

Thanks Amanda! I think I'll just "made matte" so that I can avoid all this confusion... except I'm lazy, and then I'll need to change sentence structure for it to make sense... so 'mattified' it is!
