A Holiday polish turns into a Halloween Mani....OPI Pepes Purple Passion, plus black glitter & moons.

Okay....I'm going to try this for the fourth time. Ugh. I don't know what's going on, but I've typed this post four times, gotten to the end, and it just deletes completely. Sooo annoying.

I had my first Muppet fail today. :-( Ha, Ha....I guess that sound kinda funny, if you don't know what I'm talking about, doesn't it? I'm sure most of you know, I'm talking about the OPI Holiday collection. I had high hopes for this polish. It's super pretty in the bottle, and I love the name. It was an absolute mess to apply though. Somehow, it is thick, yet runny at the same time. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense, but I'm not sure how else to describe it. It's like it's really thick half way down the brush, and then it gets runny. Really strange. I don't know if I just got a bad bottle or what.

Pepes Purple Passion is a deep purple with glass flecks. I used two coats, but should have used one, since the formula was so messy. I somehow thought using the second coat would help. It didn't. I decided I didn't want to take the polish off, so I added a coat of LA Girl Uninhibited, which is small, round black glitter, and black hex glitter. Then I added a polish I picked up in a three back at Marshall's. The brand is called Color Zone, and it's made my Bluecross Beauty. The same brand that makes the cute little pumpkin polishes. The polish I used, doesn't have a name. I LOVE it though. It has med. sized round holo glitter, and holo moon shapes. I could star at the bottle all day! LOL!

I'm going to show you the pics. of the finished mani. first, and then OPI Pepes Purple Passion.

It really doesn't look so bad in the pics. I guess. It was just such a mess. Who knows, maybe I'll give it another chance sometime. ;-)

Fallen Leaves Mani.

Good evening! How has your Monday been? Mine's been quite good. Still no word from the vet though. Hopefully, we will have more news tomorrow. I belong to a couple of online nail forums, and one of them has themes from time to time. Today's theme was fallen leaves, and I decided to take part in it.

I started out using China Glaze Below Deck, which is from this year's summer collection. Below Deck is a taupe color with a creme finish. I then used several different colored glitters. I used a burnt orange glitter, by a brand I picked up at Marshall's called Color Zone. The green glitter is by Love & Beauty which you can find at Forever 21. It's just called green. How original, huh? :-D It's an exact dupe to LA Girl's Purge from the Glitter Addict collection. It has small green glitter, and medium sized round green glitter. I used Wet 'n Wild Prancer from last year's holiday collection. It's med. sized red glitter in a clear base. The gold glitter pieces are NYX Girls Gilded Glitter. Of course, I had to see what it looked like matte, so I used Essie Matte About You.

First up, are the pics. before I used the Matte top coat.
