Woof! I had a few days there where I just couldn’t get myself to paint and then I got cold-sick for the first time in many years. Blech! But I’m mostly better and back with a cute candy corn nail design because candy corns dressed up to go trick or treating and gather their smaller brethren up to consume sounds like the right kind of energy for this blog.

This mani’s problem area is that so many orange stamping polishes are not opaque enough. I first tried using Maniology’s “Clockwork”, but everything showed right through it. Same with Apipila’s “Galo da Serra”. So I went darker and plucked Hit the Bottle’s “Laid to Zest” off my shelf. Probably the best orange stamping polish in my collection. She did the job.
And of course my stamping image, that I’d so carefully filled in, managed to get warped as I was sticking it to the nail. *sigh* It’s fine. I tried. Plus I finally got to use the one gorgeous Polish Molish crelly I managed to snag before they stopped selling through Polish Pickup. I adore a good dusty purple and then when you combine it with bright orange… *chef’s kiss*
It’s been a very long time since I’ve painted candy corn nails and I don’t even have a tag for it so here’s my first one, an abstract candy corn water marble….
