Halloween, The Final Slaughterin'

There's no coming back from this one.

Barielle Myrza's Meadow, Zoya Mimi, Zoya Arizona, and Essie Licorice

Those cuticles have been murdered.

It was the black nail polish, in the living room, with the pigment.

Myrza's Meadow is a great pukey-green with holographic glitter.  I mean puke-y in the nicest possible way, because I love it; I just don't know a better way to describe it.  It's super sheer though, and even on these little stripes of nail, I needed three coats to provide good color.

Arizona is a fantastic orange, and is good to go with one coat.  Nice, bright, citrus shimmer that levels well.

Mimi is a color cousin to Suri, but with bold tonal shimmer instead of the vague holo shimmer.  It's sheer with one coat, and good at two.

I did one thick-ish coat of Licorice on top of the tape, then peeled and added a coat of Seche Vite.

Despite the fact that this manicure was a freaking nightmare because I did designs on eight nails, so the taping took over an hour, I love tape manicures.  They give a really interesting cohesive look to what would otherwise be crazy colors jammed together.  I'm (clearly) still trying to get a look I'm happy with  using black, purple, green, and orange, and I just don't think it's going to happen.

I'm...okay...with this, but I haven't quite figure out how to get dark nail polish out of the bed of my nails.  As soon as it touches the skin, it's there until the next time I push my cuticles back and clean them out.  It's annoying, but it won't stop the tape love.
