CaliforNails NailArtOct Challenge Days 1 and 4!

I am participating in my first nail art challenge ever this month! It is done by ig's CaliforNails!
This is not a daily challenge, but rather a challenge in which nail art is done every three days.
So day 1, October 1st, the prompt was gold nails. This is all I came up with.

I don't actually own any gold nail polish yet (shame on me!). For this mani I used my usual base coat of 2 coats of OPI's Nail Envy. I've been using the maintenance formula now, it's keeping my nails so strong!!
For the ring finger I just alternated coats of Nail Envy and loose gold glitter sprinkled on. The others are one coat of Sinful Colors "Whipped" with loose gold glitter sprinkled on. I used Nails Inc. Kensington Caviar Topcoat for this mani.
I was super sad to take these nails off! They were very Chanel and I felt like a supermodel wearing these (;

However it was worth it to do my manicure for the second day of the challenge, today, October 4th. The prompt was the ever-delicious candy corn!! <3

I knew I was going to do a gradient because gradients are my favorite and I so badly want to improve my gradient skills. For this mani I used Zoya "Darcy," Sally Hansen XTreme Wear "Sun Kissed," Essie "Blanc," and Sinful Colors "Whipped." I sponged on the gradients over white and two coats of Nail Envy Maintenance. I made the adorably delicious looking candy corn on my middle finger with the same yellow, orange, and white and a dotting tool. (: Topped with one coat of Seche Vite (the god of topcoats!!!)

Needless to say my cinderella hand did not come out as well. Good thing you guys don't have to see it (;

There are my manis for the 1st and 4th of the month! I will post my nails for the next prompt of the challenge on the 7th - pattern! See you then!
