Hey everybody! After years of searching, I've found it.
My perfect red: OPI Innie Minnie Mighty Bow.
See? I told you.
As words cannot describe how much I love this, I shall not attempt to use them.
Moral of today's story: be sure to eventually wear those polishes you've forgotten you own. THIS could happen to you, too.
Thanks for stopping by, and have a lovely evening and a safe Halloween! <3
Hey everybody! I'm in the mood for a Halloween polish. What about you? You ARE?! Well, you've come to the right place. :D Tonight I have two polishes from the China Glaze Apocalypse of Color collection.
The first one boasts an utterly charming moniker: I Love Your Guts. Well now...it doesn't get much better than that.
I Love Your Guts is a very cool polish with a very strange finish. It's a frosty metallic with tiny black glitter that dries matte. I have to be in a specifically matte-tolerating mood for this to work, and I wasn't at the time of these pics, so I used one layer of top coat, which sort of rendered it semi-matte.
I Love Your Guts is a very lovely red-pink color. The presence of the black glitter gives it an overall trashy appearance. Like actual trash. Like you dipped your fingers in some spooky mess, reminiscent of a typical horror movie character who makes terribly unwise choices.
Another one I picked up from the collection is Getting to Gnaw You, a black jelly with copper glitter.
"Getting to gnaw you...getting to gnaw all about you..." Oh, sorry. Visions of a zombie-fied Yul Brynner as the undead King of Siam were dancing through my head. :) I loved this one in the bottle, and I have to say, I was surprised at how well pigmented the black jelly base was. The copper glitter is very pretty and gives this polish a very chic look. I used two coats of this with 2 coats of top coats...it's a rather hungry little number!
China Glaze, in my opinion, puts out some excellent Halloween polishes. Did you pick up any from Apocalypse of Color?
Thanks for stopping by, and always remember..I love your guts!! <3
Hey everybody! I hope your weekend has been wonderful. :) Today I have three more polishes from the Bonita Witches Ball collection to show you. I had already picked up Eat, Drink & Be Scary and was so impressed with the formula that I picked up more whilst polish shopping with Mr. Sweets.
First up is one I just really like, and I can't quite figure out why. Oh well. It's called Dying to Party. It's a grey-tinged white creme with silver shimmer, a ghostly look, if you will. I love polishes like this but keep forgetting that they don't look good on me. I did have some streaking issues with this one and used three coats.
Next is one I purchased for this fall's campaign of "I'm Determined to Get Over My Hatred of Orange." :) This is Cocktails and Carving, a pumpkin orange that's absolutely loaded with silver shimmer. This polish is almost a one coater, but of course I am me and therefore did two. Cocktails and Carving is dustier than the photos show, sort of like a pumpkin PIE orange. It's very pretty. It made me rather tempted to squirt Reddi-wip on my fingers. Mmmmmm...Reddi-wip...
Another super-gorgeous-and-nearly-one-coat polish in the collection is Too Cute to Spook, a berry/fuchsia with a heavy silver shimmer. I know you all are extremely shocked to read that this one had Lacquer Reverie written ALL over it. :P
And here is Eat, Drink & Scary that I've already shown you, complete with swollen fingers. :D You can read the full review here.
I apologize for the lack of angle variety in tonight's post, but I have lately been suffering from crustacean cuticles and can't seem to hide it in pics! UGH!! :/ The Witches Ball collection is available at Rite Aid for $2.49 each. These polishes wear very well, and I highly recommend them if you're looking for an inexpensive polish fix!
Thanks for stopping by, and have a lovely day! <3
