Trick or Treat!

   Happy Halloween! My niece went trick-or-treating for the first time yesterday. It's only the 22nd, I know, but the homeowners association of my grandma's village scheduled it yesterday.  Maybe because Filipinos go back to their hometowns and thus are away on Halloween? Or maybe so that the children can go trick-or-treating in other villages on Halloween itself?

   Whatever. This just means I can celebrate Halloween twice. And by celebrate I mean wear two different Halloween manis!

Spot the awesome Halloween mani!
   For my first Halloween mani, I used the black Calar polish I bought in Bangkok last week as the base for all of my nails except for the ring fingernail. And I must say I am impressed. When I go back to Bangkok I'll definitely buy more Calar polishes.

So how do you pronounce "Calar"?
    And for my ring fingernail I used Elianto Orange Red. I think it's misnamed though. I don't see any red. Do you?


   And then I topped it with my new discovery: 24k nail polish.

I'm in love

   I've never tried this brand before, but when I saw these two polishes, I grabbed them right away. They reminded me of Nfu-Oh polishes, which, unfortunately, I have none of. So I bought them, hoping they wouldn't disappoint.

   I used the orange one (they were nameless). It did not disappoint.

   It was light years away from disappointing.

   The flakes flash green and orange at the same time, my camera just can't capture it. Believe me, I tried.


   Each 24K bottle costs only 38php, making it even more awesome for a teacher  cheapskate like me.

   Oh and my niece won the Scariest Costume award. :) She wasn't scary at all, but other kids were dressed up in non-scary costumes like princess, fairy, pumpkin, etc.

   So, any ideas for my next Halloween mani?

  1. Very nice Halloween mani. I'm planning mine for Monday. My students look forward to seeing my new nails each week, so I have to impress with the Halloween ones. I think I'm going to stamp. And a cool deep purple would look good with other Halloween colors! It reminds me of a witches hat.

  2. Yep, the sparkles really add!

    I'm thinking of a glow-in-the-dark polish for the second mani. Meron na ba nito in existence? It would be so cool!

  3. Yes there's a glow-in-the-dark polish but it wasn't available yet the last time I checked. Maybe now that Halloween's over it is available already. :|
