Pastel Moon Phases // 'Halloween' Look 1

Yes, this is a halloween look. I used a plate called "Halloween 1" therefore it is clearly a spooky mani. Also, I refuse to stop using pink and peach just because it's winter now. I suggest we make a new holiday called "Pastelween"...that sounds really stupid. I need to stop buying cheap alcohol from home bargains and drinking it whilst writing these blog posts.

Not only is this look super cute, but it's super easy. It took me about 15 minutes (drying time not included because the Barry M matte top coat is not the fastest). 

I might do some scary looks this year...maybe. I have also been  extremely good though and not bought any stamping plates since August! I have so many plates that I haven't used yet; if I can't come up with some Halloween looks with them then I have failed lol.

Polishes/Tools used:

- OPI Infinite Shine // Rice Rice Baby (lilac), Malibu Pier Pressure (hot pink), Excuse Me, Big Sur! (pink), Barking up the Wrong Sequoia (peach), No Tan Lines (orange)

- Twinkled T // Glow Up (white)

- MoYou London Stamping Plates // Halloween 01

- Barry M // Matte Top Coat

Road To Holo // Moon & Stars Ombre

Just one more shade to go and I'll have the entire holographic range in the Molten Metal series from Barry M. They're just beautiful shades and these two I had to do something with the minute I got them home. Holographic Moon was not what I was expecting and rivals A England's Katherine of Aragon on it's level of holo. 

I'm not the best at photographing holo just yet so I feel my photos don't quite do this mani justice. I started out by doing three sponged layers of Holo Moon and Holo Sunburst to get the ombre which is a look in its own right:

So shiny *drool*. I then stamped on some designs from the MoYou Scandi 10 plate with one of their polishes I picked up in the sale. I've got quite a few MoYou polishes now and they're a bit hit and miss. I spent a while trying to get a clean stamp with Snowflake, but like Night Sail eventually had to settle for bits missing because I would've been there all night otherwise.

That Scandi plate though is everything. I'm cooking up a look with the mountains and the road with a galaxy sky and some cacti... It will have to wait for the Christmas holidays though when I'll have a bit more time.
