[NOTD] Halloween Manicures

I usually don't dress up in costume for Halloween, but I will take any excuse for a themed manicure.  These are the Halloween manicures I've sported over the past couple weeks.  For all manicures, I used Zoya Anchor for my basecoat and New York Color Grand Central Station for my topcoat.

1.  Milani Purple Passion (2 coats) topped with Hit Polish Witches Brew (1 coat)

[NOTDs] Purple Nails

I'm still catching up on blog posts.  This post will be a compilation of NOTDs from spring and summer, feauturing all purple nail polishes.  I'll start with my favorite, Zoya Malia, a creamy mid-tone, blue-leaning purple.  Malia is one of my all-time favorite nail polishes.

There are more purple manicures after the jump....

[NOTD] Essie Innocent

I wore this manicure in September.  The nail polish is Essie Innocent, two coats, with base and top coats. Innocent is a light mauve, and I think it's the perfect neutral nail color for autumn.  (I also like Essie Lady Like and Revlon Gray Suede - both shown here - for demure fall manicures.)

[NOTD] Essie Made to Honor

My nails and cuticles were in great condition this summer, so I kept my nails looking neat and trimmed but usually unpolished.  However, here I wore a my-nails-but-better polish, Essie Made to Honor, two coats.
