HALLOWEEN MONTH! Retro Sunday Squared with The Scholarly Nail - Revlon StreetWear Black Widow layering combos

It's that time again!

Jacqui and I are both doing Halloween themed polishes through the month of October, so we thought we'd share Revlon Street Wear Halloween glitters today! Since I've already shared Oct 31st before, today I though I's share Black Widow, a decant that the lovely Jacqui herself sent me! <3

Black Widow is such a unique polish to my stash! It starts off as a clear blase and is loaded with fine black and silver glitter and thin black bar glitter. Oh, the layering possibilities are endless! I'm wearing this first manicure as I type this, it's such a fresh take on a Halloween manicure! This is two coats over CND Super Sexy. (AKA the worst creme formula I've come across in a long time.)






Next up I have two coats of Black Widow layered over Joe Fresh Pumpkin. This is one of the BEST orange polishes I have in my stash! Seriously the most perfect fall pumpkin color EVER! Formula was a dream, this is two coats. LOVE!





Great glitter!

HALLOWEEN MONTH! Sally Hansen Hard As Nails - Ghost

Happy Saturday!

Today I have yet another awesome vintage Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Halloween polish to share - Ghost. These polishes came out in 1999-2000, and I love and cherish each and every one I own. This and Skeleton are the two white ones from the collections, and since they're so dang sheer, they need to be layered over white. This is two layers of Ghost over Sinful Colors Snow Me White. The iridescent glitter of this polish was a PITA to catch on camera, so make sure to check out the bottle shots at the end to see the glitter in full swing! So pretty!







I hope your weekend in wonderful!

HALLOWEEN MONTH! Wet N Wild Megalast - Poison Ivy

TGIF!

Happy Happy Joy Joy! It's Friday! I have a great weekend planned with the fiance this weekend so this weekend couldn't have gotten here faster! I recently came across Wet N Wild's new Megalast Halloween display, Pick Your Poison. I got the polish I have to show you today and also the deep sapphire blue one, but now I'm seriously regretting not getting the vampy red and purple too! 

Today I have Poison Ivy. (Uma Thurman pops into my head every time! LOL!) OH. MY. GAWD. I'm in freaking LOVE with this polish! My love for green polish knows so bounds, but make it a deep blackened emerald shimmer like THIS?! I die. BEAUTIFUL. Not everyone likes the brushes on these polishes, but I love them. They're kind of paddle-like and wide. This is two coats. Just amazing. 





Have you picked up any from this collection yet?

HALLOWEEN MONTH! Blue Cross pumpkin polish - purple glitter

Hello there!

Sorry I'm posting so late - it's my day off and I had a swatch fest all morning and afternoon. So here we are - a little late - but what the heck, right? :)

Today I have a Blue Cross pumpkin glitter to share. I look forward to these every Fall/Halloween, same thing with the Snowmen they put out every Winter/Christmas. They're just so dang CUTE and - what can I say? - I love me some glitter! Am I the only one that noticed the prices went up from $1.99 to $2.99 this year or did I make that up? I SWEAR that's what I paid for the others last year. Regardless, I still snagged three new glitters. Today I have a great purple glitter in a clear base to show you - this is one coat over Wet N Wild Vamp Red. Yep, just one coat! I was very pleased with the amount of glitter that came out on the brush.





Have a great Thursday!

HALLOWEEN MONTH! China Glaze - Glitter Goblin

We meet again!

I'm having so much fun swatching off of my Halloween polishes, and I hope you will too! Today is day 3, and I thought I'd share with you an amazing new glitter from China Glaze's new Wicked Halloween 2012 collection. I settled on three from that collection, and this one may be my favorite! It just SCREAMS Halloween to me! Glitter Goblin is a mixture of two colors of fine glitter, orange and holo glitter. Its was on the sheer side, so I layered two coats over Wet N Wild Fantasy Makers Fiery. 






Have a great Tuesday!

HALLOWEEN MONTH! Sally Hansen Black Cat

Hello again!

This post is going to be a quick one, I'm behind on typing up posts and am running late. Today I have the first of many awesome vintage Sally Hansen Halloween polishes to share, Black Cat. These collections were released in 1999-2000, and MAN there are some amazing glitters in there! (Treat Or Treat still eludes me. It WILL be mine!) Black Cat is a sheer black based polish with glitter that shifts from orange to green. It's stunning in the bottle, bur it falls just a tad flat on the nail. It's still a great polish none the less, and I wore it for three days! This is four thin coats. PS - I didn't realized until after I took these pics that they're a little blurry. My lens was dirty. Poop.







Have a great Monday!
