Cutex Spooktacular!...

CUTEX 
NAIL COLOR
Spooktacular 7 mL
Php 109.75 / US$ 2.48

Hi! Here in my country, we call toothpaste "colgate" and nail polish "cutex". I'm not sure how it all started but yes, nail polish is cutex here. Hihi. And I have one of my favorite Cutex color to show you today.
(^^,)


Spooktacular is this moss green polish with yellow/brown undertones. I used three coats for these swatches so you can't really see the brown underneath but you can also look at my old swatch to see it (only used two coats there). Still, I think Spooktacular is gorgeous either way.
(^_^)
Spooktacular dried semi-matte. I mean, it's not shiny but it's not matte either. lol. Formula was amazing and the brush was glorious! I think it's a little pricey for such a tiny amount of nail polish but hey, it's soooo pretty I still bought it. Hihi.
(^_~)
Of course, being the crazy person that I am, I applied a top coat to see what will happen. The top coat made it shimmer like crazy. I am now torn about what to do. I really like Spooktacular no matter what. Pretty pretty pretty! Haha. Anyway, thanks for dropping by! Good bye and I'll see you again tomorrow!
(^-^)

P.S.
I just want to ask your quick opinion/advice about something. I recently joined a major nail art contest hosted by a major brand and the deadline of submission of entries was July 15. One of the requirements needed to join was to use their product (which was a little expensive but the prizes at stake were also expensive so that's okay). I'm not sure how many really joined the contest (my entry was the only one on display) so I understand the fact that they want to extend the deadline for a month. Now, the contest finally ended and I sent them a private message four days later about what happened. They said that the voting period will start soon and they're getting ready for it. Two weeks later, I read their status about how they've received a lot of nail art entries (still don't see any other entries on their page) and that we should get ready to vote. HOWEVER, three days after that status, they changed their minds and declared that they have extended the contest once again. AND! Take note: one fan asked when will be the next deadline and they replied that they will be announcing it soon. I'm like, what?? Are they basically saying that they will wait until they receive enough entries so that the prizes will be recovered? I am not sure what I'm going to do as I am not familiar with any laws here regarding contests but my gut tells me something fishy is going on. *sighs*... Please excuse any grammatical errors you see as I'm getting mad just thinking about this.... I really don't know what I'm supposed to do..

  1. That green is absolutely gorgeous! It looks good on its own and also with the top coat. Pretty Fall and Winter color. Your nails are so beautiful Kat. WOW, that contest sounds flaky! I entered a contest and they did some of the same things you are mentioning. A whole group of us called them out on FB. I don't know of any rules & regulations, but they're definitely not being fair. So sorry you had to experience this.

    1. Thanks Kim! *sighs* I really want to call them out too but they haven't posted any other entries other than mine so I don't know who those "other" contestants are... One thing's for sure though, I will never EVER trust them again.

  2. That is such an awesome green! And I love it both ways... the satiny finish and the glossy finish! :) As for that contest, it sounds awful. I'm not sure there's anything you can do about it, but it sucks and I'm sorry you got caught up in it. :(
