Rainbow Favorites Day 2 - Orange

I hope you're enjoying your Monday! I have another part of the rainbow challenge to share with you. Today is orange. Just like yesterday, I debated over two polishes before I chose one.

Wet n Wild Creepy Pumpkin is an orange jelly with shimmer. I love this orange! I initially grabbed it because of the bottle shape and ended up completely in love. But seriously, how cute is this bottle. If you have never seen them, its a rectangular bottle with a tombstone as the cap. The application is great. Its rather sheer, as one can expect from a jelly. Two coats to reach this amount of coverage.

Creepy Pumpkin was part of the Fantasy Makers Collection from Halloween 2011. At the time, it retailed for $2. Its very scarce online. I am hoping that they will bring it back this year.

Candy Corn Nails, Polish Haul, & Nail Mail

Today is the first day of October. Which means the beginning of Halloween nails! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Its so much fun! For my first nail design of the holiday month, I did candy corn. Well, a candy corn accent nail and sparkling orange on the rest.

Not the best little candy corn ever, but its the first one I've ever painted on my nails. On my ring finger I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Black on Black, Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow, and Wet n Wild Creepy Pumpkin. On the rest I layered Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Dahlia Orange, and Wet n Wild Creepy Pumpkin. Both oranges are sheer, so the white base meant less layers. I love all of these colors and polishes. They all apply beautifully.

I think candy corn is a great way to start off October and Halloween! :)

As the post title implies, I also bought some new polishes and got some nail mail. Sorry in advance for the picture overload.

From left to right: ICING Stormy/Serene, ICING Glitterati, Zoya Meadow, Essie Red Nouveau, and Orly Sec N Dry along with some Kiss nail glue. 

I got Stormy/Serene from ICING as part of a BOGO 50% off sale. It changes color depending on your mood. Though I've heard its dependent on temperature, like mood rings are.

An up close shot of Glitterati. Its so pretty in the bottle. Large hexagon magenta glitter with small round holo glitter.

Both the Zoya and Essie polishes are from a sale on Pretty & Polished. She has some gorgeous China Glaze holo polishes up for sale now, one of which I just ordered. These are my first of both brands. I'm very excited to try them out.

I also got a set of Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips Spun for You. The box is MIA so I dug up a stock photo in case you have not seen this particular design.

I have heard great things about these nail strips. I'm very excited about the Halloween ones. If these work well for me, I might go back and get Ghoulie Girl or Numbskull.

Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Creepy Pumpkin

I finally found some time to paint my nails. Yay! I decided on Creepy Pumpkin. The bottle is so cute! The top is shaped like a little headstone with R.I.P. written on it.

Its very pretty. And as I'm sure you can tell, its pretty sheer. If you have short nails, you could probably get away with three coats. I used six and you can still see my nail line. Next time I wear Creepy Pumpkin, I will definitely use a colored base coat.

I layered two coats of Night Glow over this (from the same collection). It glows pretty bright in the dark. However, I could not manage to get a picture. The light from my camera was unhelpful. I will figure out a better way to photograph the glow in the dark polish better before I wear it again.

This polish is definitely worth owning if you love orange, Fall, or Halloween. I found mine at ULTA for only two dollars.
