Happy Halloween, And May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor!

Three things: 
1. It's November 1st, so my 17th birthday is in 16 days!
2. Halloween is over, therefore it's officially Christmas time. 
3. Starbucks Christmas cups FTW. 

I had a really fun time yesterday, I dressed up as Effie Trinket from The Hunger Games!  Since I was going full-out with my costume, hair, and makeup,  I just had to do my nails to match!  


I started with two coats of Essie Super Bossa Nova, a bright pink polish that loves to stain.  Grrr.  I sponged Essie Good As Gold onto the tips, topcoated, and was done!   I was going for this look that she wears during the reaping, which is actually quite toned-down compared to her manicures in the rest of the movie!


I had dance until 7:30 last night (and then rehearsal ran over time,) after which I went to my friend's house, ate pizza, and we went out for a while.  Since we're "too old to trick-or-treat", we went door-to-door collecting non-perishable food donations to help the homeless.  Halloween for a good cause!


Unfortunately, we got stuck in the middle of a torrential downpour (of course, we can never have a rain-less Halloween!) and ran back to my friend's house, high heels, pencil skirt, ruffles and all.  At least I brought an umbrella!  

Hope you all had a great Halloween! :)

    1. My birthday is actually on the 16th, so my golden birthday was last year. Guess it just depends on whether you count today or not ;) Thank you so much Dina, and happy early birthday to you! :)

  4. This gradient is perfection, very pretty. I love that you collected can goods instead of candy, what a thoughtful thing to do.
