The Lacquer Legion - October Challenge - After Dark - #LLAfterDark

The two weeks before Halloween are always kind of crazy at my house—decorating, putting the final touches on our costumes, etc. Crazy, but fun. Unfortunately though, I've gotten behind in my blog posts. My review of last week's Nail'd It just didn't get done and I have another Halloween mani photographed but not posted. However, I couldn't miss participating in this month's Lacquer Legion!

I've been wanting to do vampire nails for a while and I just bought a yummy new Wet n Wild polish that I was "dying" to try. So, I created a two-color ombre and added a couple of little glowing eyes to represent the night creatures—living and undead—who come out After Dark. The polishes used for this design are:

• Wet n Wild - So Berry On Trend
• Maybelline - Onyx Rush
• Orly - Masked Ceremony (for a touch of dark sparkle)
• Sinful Colors  Pull Over
• Sinful Colors - This Is It

This is the first time I brushed water-soluble glue on my fingers before sponging on the ombre and, I have to admit, I'm a convert. It made clean up so much easier and less time consuming.

I really love this look and predict I'll use it long after the season of the witch is over for another year. 

Happy Halloween everyone!
