A couple of Halloween'y odds and ends!
First: Creepy Pumpkin!
A Fantasy Maker by WetnWild in the headstone bottle:
A sugar-y finish, with fine particles of gilded orange. As you can see it needs a topcoat to smooth out the texture and let that sugar finish shine.
Alternating left to right: topcoat, none, topcoat, none.
As you can see alone, it's very sweet, but kind of mild. A bit sheer, ever with three coats, you can see right through it.
So, I tried it over black:
Hmm. Well, perhaps not such a win. I will admit I didn't do it with a topcoat. I think I got sidetracked because I started to see a green flash!
What up????
Let's look at that a little closer!
Ooooh....creeeepy!!
A nice green flash was a great find in this nail polish!!
Next a couple of greens that make my heart strings thrum, both by China Glaze:
It's Alive and Zombie Zest!
Zesty! Lively!
On the left: It's Alive. On the right: Zombie Zest.
Three coats each.
Two completely different different finishes and still in that yellow leaning green.
In a nutshell, one is a glitter, deep olive in an olive green base.
It's Alive has small and medium hex glitter. Hex glitter! Love you! So much depth, so wonderfully done. I don't think I bothered with a top coat, and I think that would have enabled a bit more shine.
Zombie Zest is a small flakie, or glasy particle. Some color changes, yellow gold to seafoam, to plain old green. Bathed in a pea soup jelly.
I can only add one thing: bottle shots!!
Excuse the tip of my nail, a huge split and stain. Good god, I have nerve posting pix, don't I? Geesh!
No, I wasn't buried alive and trying to dig out of my coffin!
Or was I?
Muahahahahaha!
Happy Halloween!
Thanks for reading my little nail polish journal!
