8 Spooky Nights: Night 3 - Candy


On to "night" 3 of the challenge! I now understand why these are challenges, it took me FOUR tries to get something I was even a little bit happy with. I have something planned for "Ghosts" tomorrow night so hopefully that works out!

Also, word of advice: sugar manis are difficult. And slightly messy. And need FOREVER to dry unless you want them randomly peeling/smudging off. And sugar looks just weird and melted if you put a top coat on it. I tried one for this and it was just AWFUL. I asked a friend for his opinion and the only thing he could say was "well, it's not your best work." Then I tried doing a pumpkin basket thing, which looked weird. Then I tried layering glitter but I went too quickly and it just smudged everywhere.




Yeah....not too thrilled with these. I started off with a bright purple base, layered 365 Days of Colors "Funfetti" (which I love!) on top, then added more glitter with a Korean dupe from Face Shop of DL's "Happy Birthday". Then I free handed the candy pattern on it and used a matte top coat.

As underwhelming as I think these are, all the other awesome bloggers in this challenge have put up some AMAZING manicures! Go check them out!!

  2. This one has been the hardest so far - I fried my brain so bad with it, that my ghost mani (while cute) isn't my best work..but I have high hopes for day 5 LOL :D
