Glam Polish: Halloween Horror Shop Collection Swatches & Review { Partial }

Happy Friday! I hope you all have fun and/or relaxing weekend plans! Mine will be relaxing and nail polish filled, I’m sure. :) It’s almost October, so you know what that means… it’s time for the onslaught of Halloween collections! *insert Kermit arm flail here* I freaking love Halloween collections! It’s hard for me to say which holiday I like most for collections but Halloween collections are usually my first or second favorite.

Today, I have 4 fabulous Halloween themed polishes from Glam Polish. Not only are they Halloween themed by horror movie themed and I’m a huge horror film fanatic. I have so many on my to-watch list, it’s insane. Needless to say, I am so excited about these and I can’t wait to see the other shades in this collection as well!

“Omen” has a vampy blood red crelly base with tons of gold shimmer and gold and green flakes. Starting this post off with a bang! This is by far my favorite of the group. Totally fitting of the Halloween season. It’s utterly creepy and fantastic. Great formula. I’ve never seen the original of this film (for shame, I know!) but I saw the newer version years ago (on 6/6/06 as a matter of fact which was the day it was released to theatres) and I loved it! I need to watch it again. This month will be the perfect time to do it. I did 2 coats of “Omen” here.

Hi everyone! I have a polish from September’s A Box Indied for you today. If you don’t know what A Box Indied is, it’s a monthly box curated by Llarowe that contains 5 polishes from different indie brands. The polishes are exclusive to that month’s box and cannot be purchased elsewhere. The boxes are released in limited quantities. It’s a great way to get some one-of-a-kind polishes from some great indie brands! Today’s polish comes to you from CrowsToes!

“Shiny Happy People” has a vibrant kelly green jelly base with lots of gold holographic shimmer, tiny silver glitter bits and white flakes. Amazing! This is might be one of my favorite jelly based CrowsToes ever! It’s just gorgeous and the formula is perfect. 2 coats.

EDIT: It has come to my attention that this polish is a thermal! I had no idea as I didn’t see the shift when I swatched it. I reswatched the polish and used warm and cold water and lo and behold, it’s a thermal! *Facepalm* Haha! Here is a photo of this beauty in transition. When it’s warm is a a lovely kelly green and when it’s cold it’s a vibrant emerald green!

“Shiny Happy People” will be available exclusively in the September A Box, Indied and will not be available for purchase separately. You can purchase the September box in Llarowe’s shop on August 26th! Make sure you follow Llarowe on Facebook for more information on this box as well as other boxes that are released in the future.

Cirque Colors: Summer 2015 Vice Collection + Hatch Swatches & Review

I Bought This

Hello again guys! The week it almost over! Yay! Hope it’s been treating you well! Today I have Cirque Colors’ amazing Vice Collection to show you! Cirque cremes have my heart, so I definitely couldn’t pass up this bright creme collection for Summer! Plus, I have a little extra goody at the end too!

My camera freaked out, as it tends to do with bright/neon polishes so these aren’t completely color accurate. I would advise you to look up multiple swatches of these beauties to really get a feel for the colors. I wish I had a magic wand so I would be able to show you them exactly as they are but for now, you have them as close as I could get them!

“Nympho” is a bright cool-toned pink creme. This may be one of my all-time favorite pink cremes. It is insane. Words are falling short here. I can’t even explain the amazingness! 2 breezy coats.

Hi! Well this an exciting post! I have 2 Lana Del Rey themed polishes hailing from HARE polish and not only do I love HARE (you already knew that!) but I also LOVE Lana Del Rey (who doesn’t?) I was so excited to see these and I can’t wait for you to see them too!

“I’m Your National Anthem” is a warm red jelly with slight pink undertones. It has a scattered holographic shimmer, gold, silver and multichrome shreds. This is a real stunner and not just that, it’s named after one of my all time favorite Lana Del Rey songs! The holographic shimmer didn’t show up to well in photos but in person, it’s so lovely! 3 thin coats here.
