It was time for a color change, so today I did another Halloween manicure since I might not have a chance to change it tomorrow. Since I haven't done the obligatory black and orange combination yet, I figured I'd do that today with the jack o'lantern pattern from nail stamping plate D03, one of the two Halloween D-Series plates.
I wanted a bright orange, and for that I chose Zoya Paz. It took three coats, and I thought I'd extend the theme and cut the stamping by 60% by alternating nails between Paz and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out, the two coat black creme that was nearest Paz when I was gathering supplies for this manicure. After allowing the base colors to dry, I stamped Paz with the Jack O'Lantern face in Konad Black Pearl. I'd planned on stamping some additional Halloween patterns on the black, but after placing the first one on my pinky I thought the better of it and removed the stamp (this is the rare occasion when the decision that less is more was made at the front end of a manicure...). I sealed the stamping and shined up the manicure with Sally Hansen Salon Speed Shine and called it finished. Here are my Jack O'Lantern nails.

This is probably my favorite of this year's Halloween manicures. It really doesn't leave open any questions about what the intent is!
