Nail-Aween Challenge: Day 2 - Matte Doticure

Well, for this Day 2 manicure... I wasn't sure what to do. I recently picked up OPI - So So Skullicious Kit from Copious.  I decided to go ahead with it for this mani, why not!
I used Serum No. 5 - Fallen for my ring finger and OPI - hi, Pumpkin! for the rest of my fingers.  I, then used Butter London's Matte Finish to give it that matte look.  For the dots, I used... A-Rose from the Dead, Mourning Glory & Candlelight (all from OPI So So Skullicious Kit).
Very simple [Matte Doticure] I did here.  I even got to use some of the decals that came with this kit :)

Nail-Aween Challenge: Day 1 - Water Marble

I figured I would get this challenge started right away.  I had been thinking about it for the past week now.  So here it is... Day 1 - Water Marble.  For this marble I tried once and failed.  The black I used, wasn't so black.  It was too gray for me, so I changed up the polish a bit and ended up with this.
I went ahead and added some dots with my dotting tools on the areas where there was large spots of solid colors and... I filled those up with little dots :) I'm sorry my nails are so short here, I broke 3 of them when I was at Six Flags this past weekend :(

Mani details: Sally Hansen Complete Care 4-in-1 (base), Essie - Fear or Desire (1 coat)... OPI - Black Onyx & Essie - Fear or Desire for marbling... Seche Vite DF TC (1 coat)

Let me know what you all think :)  Thanks for the feedback... Now on to the next one!
