My very first polish post! Hi there. I expect to be talking to myself for a long while, if not forever but that's completely okay. Cataloging my pictures is plenty fun. I do hope my posts can help someone else out though! I don't buy any polish without looking up swatches and reading thoughts.
I love Halloween but haven't done much for it this year. In fact, I haven't even carved a pumpkin or gotten anything costume-like! I remedied that a bit by giving my nails a Halloween look.

Sinful Colors Cloud 9 is a shimmery orange that goes on fairly sheer. I applied 3 thin coats but I think next time I will go for a fourth since there's a slight hint of nail line still.
I choose to do a black, glitter accent nail but made the mistake of using NYC Black Lace Creme as the base black. This is how new I am to nail polish: I don't know if it's just because I purchased this in a Target where people like to paint samples everywhere (jerks!) or if it's typical of the NYC formula but yuck! Black Lace Creme was a sticky mess. It's incredibly opaque though, I'll give it that. I could have gotten away with only one coat if it hadn't gone on like old glue. I ended up doing two and getting away with it since Orly R.I.P. has a black tinted jelly.
Over NYC Black Lace Cream I applied a single coat of Orly R.I.P. R.I.P. is part of both their Flash Glam FX Collection and the Spellbound Collection. It is a clear black jelly with large hexagonal orange glitters and tiny slightly lighter orange glitter. I didn't do anything special when applying it, R.I.P. went on really easily and didn't need any maneuvering. It worked wonders on smoothing the NYC mess out.
I topped everything off with a coat of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. Love it, that is all!
