Halloween Nails - Candy Corn

My holidays vacation is over and today I'm back at work... so sad... *sigh*
To cheer myself up I started the morning with a lovely pedicure. This is the first time of my life that I had one and I must say - I LOVE it! I enjoyed being spoiled and pampered so much, and now my legs feel so light as if I'm walking on cotton wool. True pleasure!
And to add to the cotton wool feeling I decided to wear The Nail junkie's Candy Corn on my hand nails. My day cannot get any better! (considering the fact that i'm at work)

Candy Corn is a lovely milky white base, not quite creme but not completely jelly, with lots of matte yellow and matte red hexes. It applies smooth and easy and the glitter is filling each and every stroke. Two coats are not 100% opaque but being white base makes the nail line almost invisible. It dries quickly and just like any of The Nail Junkie's polishes the glitter is very well suspended in the base and there are no curling or other weird behavior issues. One coat of Seche Vite completes this sweetly beautiful look.

I knew exactly what design I wanted to stamp on my accent nail but when I first tried it last week, I just couldn't make this design show properly. I tried everything I could! I cleaned the plate and the stamper with pure acetone. I filed the stamper, I tried to hold the plate in different angles, I tried more pressure, I tried less pressure - nothing worked! Being so frustrated I decided to ask some blogger friends for advice. They all gave this plate a try and said it was working perfectly! I figured mine was defective or something and I was ready to give up. Then the awesome Silver from the Silverinator.com blog suggested that I file the scrapper. It sounded strange at the moment but I was willing to try everything! And guess what? IT WORKED! This one is worth noting!!! Than you so much Silver ♥
This is Bundle Monster plate #301 stamped with A-England Perceval. I love how this drop turned out like blood!
