Matte skittles for Halloween

OK, I tried again on the Skittles and this time I actually have 5 different polishes here:

A few nails are the same mani as last time, just patched up, but I re-did the majority of them. So here's the polishes I used here:
orange - Zoya Destiny
black - Cult Nails Fetish
gold - KL Polish Casino Night
purple - Zoya Carter
green - OCC Chimera

My cuticles are horribly dry, I wish I'd remembered to put on hand lotion. (In fact, just looking closely at these pictures was enough to get me to bust out the Badger Balm.) I took these pictures in the car and the sun wasn't out so that's why they're a little dark.

I did base coat (Cuccio), two coats of each polish (although Fetish didn't really need it), a coat of Gelous on everything but Chimera, and a coat of Lucky 13 matte polish (which I forget the proper name of) on everything. So on Fetish I de-mattified it and then mattified it over again. I was experimenting. I think that the Lucky 13 matte is actually more matte than Fetish is on its own - Fetish is more of a satiny finish.

I really like Casino Night matte - it's still metallic, it just tones it down a little. I'll probably be trotting that one out again in December.

I'm happy with this version, but late tonight I may see if I can convert it  into more of a Day of the Dead palette - add a fuchsia and a bright blue, maybe? We'll see.

Oh, also, I wore black clothes and my poison-green witch's hat that I've had for several years, and I didn't have the green makeup that I used to use for a witch makeup so I just did a much  heavier makeup application than I usually do. A couple of people did a double-take (although most people didn't really seem to notice when I had my glasses on). I did a super-heavy cat's eye and a lot of the glittery colors from that Pur palette that I got from Boxycharm this past month, on my eyes and cheeks. I used that Colourbox lip pencil that I thought was too dark for normal wear (the color might have been Virginia?*), and I found a really dark lipstick to put on over it. It was perfect for this.

*Nope. Virginia is something else - a satin liquid lip, apparently now discontinued - that I bought at the same time. The lip pencil is Mamacita, and it is currently still showing up on C'pop's website. (I pulled Virginia out and I really need to wear it some. It's cute.)
