Halloween Mani (SINFUL COLORS/Wet n Wild)

A holiday themed mani with stickers (my first time!). I am not a huge fan of Halloween but I really like Halloween manis. I realize this makes zero sense but anyways, Halloween hit early in the form of my nails. I decorated my nails for Halloween before I did my house, not even kidding.

For this mani I used (in order from my left hand): 9.0.2.1.Orange (Wet n Wild) on my pinkie, Snow White (Sinful Colors) with Black on Black for the 'stitches', also from Sinful Colors on my ring finger, Happy Endings (Sinful Colors) on my middle finger, Cloud 9 (Sinful Colors) with Splatter Spell on top, also from Sinful Colors, and my thumb I used Black on Black.

Before the stickers were applied.

On top I used Halloween stickers. I do not remember what brand they are since I threw away the wrapper in my excitement of looking at them. They were a garage sale find of my mother's and I thought they were adorable. Having never done nail stickers before, I had no idea how hard they would be to get off of the plastic holding them. Add doing it with semi dry nails and it was a bit of a struggle. Lesson learned. I have had some parts of them fall off already (applied on the 17th, 3 days ago) but they have not lifted yet and it isn't super noticeable so overall I am pleased.

All of the polishes I used were easy 2 coaters (yes, even the white!). The two oranges probably should have been 3 coats for full opacity but since I was using stickers I wasn't really worried about it. The only polishes that were not a 2 coater was when I used the Black on Black for the 'stitches' on the fingers with the white because I free-handed those and Splatter Spell because one coat was enough to get the glitter off of the brush.

Overall I am quite happy with my little Halloween mani. I'm giving it a 6 out of 6 stars!
