Halloween is finally coming!


     Hello! Haven't posted in a short while. I went through a little bit of a palette cleansing period, my nails were naked for almost a whole week! I couldn't decide what I wanted to do with them so I decided to wait until I was inspired. That's when this arrived...

     Oooh yeah. This is my 2nd Julep Maven box and I am so in love with it! It came packaged very cutely, there was also a little packet of candy corn but something happened to them. All I'm gonna say about it is that I ate them with my mouth. Here's what I got:

  •       "Hermione": A matte white crackle. Love. 
  •       "Lisa": A cool gray cream with a glossy finish. Opaque in two coats but looks best with two.
  •       Julep's new quick drying drops. I put them over my SV when I am completely finished. 
  •       One pot of loose glitter, orange.
  •       One pot of loose glitter, black. 
     And I happened to receive this package on a Saturday night (my Friday) right after work, and my boyfriend was working all night so I had the place to myself. So I put on a girly movie and went to work. It was a great Saturday night!
     I decided it was high time I try my hand (no pun intended) at a glitter dip manicure. I have to say, I think my boyfriend and I are about to have some problems. You see, he hates glitter because you have it on one tiny little Christmas ornament (or big, gawdy turquoise tree topper) and suddenly you notice a fleck of glitter on your cheek while you're at work. You wake up with glitter in your hair. You find it in your car. You can't escape it. But it's too late. The glitter has worked its way under my skin, to my heart. I'm sorry, dear boyfriend, for all the pissed off you are going to be in the coming years.
     The red-orange polish I am wearing on a couple of these nails is Orly's "Flicker", which I am obsessed with right now. I have never had a nail polish that I just kept wanting to add coats on because I love to look at it, this one is my first. More on it another time!

Anyone have tips on how to keep the glitter from spreading all over your nail when you put on your top coat? 

Which is your favorite?

Have a great rest of your day, you addicts!
