31dc2013 Orange Nails

I KEPT UP WITH THE CHALLENGE FOR THE SECOND DAY IN A ROW!!!! :D Yay!! But it was only because I didn't have school. I hope I'll be able to do the yellow nails tomorrow, but for now, here are my Orange Nails!

Orange - Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Sun Kissed

Black - Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out

The dots were done with acrylic paint. I had to use a lot of the orange for it to show up on the black polish, but in the end, it worked. And the nail polish cooperated with me, even though I don't usually like Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear. But maybe I was being too tough on it when I decided that I disliked it. :P

And I bought a new matte top coat at Ulta today. I am in love with it. I topped this mani with OPI Matte Top Coat. It's so wonderful. I had been using Orly Matte Top, but this one gives it even more of a matte effect. I also really like it because the Orly one would bubble if I let it touch a regular topcoat, so I couldn't use Seche Vite to dry things quickly. My last issue with the Orly one was that it'd crack after a few days and it'd ruin a perfectly good mani. I really hope this one doesn't do that. I'll let you guys know my final opinion on this product once I wear it on a mani that I keep on for more than a day! 

Ahh! These remind me of Halloween! I'm already planning my costume and mani to match, of course.

I love seeing everyone's interpretations of different themes for the challenge, we're all so unique and create beautiful manis.
