Halloween Polish Comparison

With Fall quickly approaching,

I literally become a giddy 4 year old 

when I start to see Halloween costumes and decorations 

in the stores. 

I LOVE Halloween, obsessed with it really.

So naturally when I see a new Halloween 

polish, I MUST grab it.

Here is a little comparison to my most prized Halloween polishes.

Probably the most recognized polish, 

and certainly one of the most coveted is

China Glaze's Fortune Teller.

This little gem came out with CG's 

Halloween collection from 2009

A Black jelly base with burnt Orange hexagon glitter,

ranging from small, to medium, to large. 

The great thing about this particular polish is that you can paint 1-2 coats, and you've got a really solid looking nail. 

Layer on top of Black, and it gives you an even richer, more intense look.

This polish is a must-have for any collector, 

and certainly if you are a Halloween lover like myself. 

Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in Pumpkin Spice

This is from Sally's latest collection for this Fall.

It could be a limited edition, but don't quote me on that.

This is a grey jelly with burnt Orange Glitter, all one

 size tiny hexagon glitter to be exact. Because of that, 

it doesn't have quite as much dimension as Fortune Teller does.

Unless you want to be a layer monster, you are

definitely going to need a Black base first as this is the thinnest
of all the other polishes.

L.A. Girls Glitter Addict in Flamboyant

Unlike the other polishes, this is a clear jelly base, 

and the Orange is more vibrant than the others.

But boy, oh boy, does it pack a punch.

I bought several of these polishes recently, and all of them will be in an upcoming haul, but I wanted to include this one, since

Halloween is primarily why I bought this shade.

Glitter Addict couldn't be a more perfect name for this, 

it is  completely LOADED with small and large 

Orange hexagon glitter. 

This can be worn alone, it's that intense.

Or layer it over Black, and you have one serious

Halloween mani.

Wet n Wild Limited Edition Color-icon in Sleep Walker


Not many people were fortunate to pick up this polish,
as it was a limited edition shade 
 from last year's Halloween collection.
I randomly stumbled upon it, so I snatched while I could.
This is extremely similar to Sally Hansen's Pumpkin Spice
It's a grey jelly base with tiny hexagon glitter, these
are just a fraction smaller than the glitter in the Sally Hansen one.
The end is result is a more blended effect, where as the Sally Hansen
Pumpkin Spice glitter tends to stand out more.

Lastly we have China Glaze's Ick-A-Body 
which is from last years Halloween collection.

Again, this is in the same grey jelly base, but the
burnt Orange glitter is so densely packed in this polish, 
it is practically opaque in a single coat.

If you are looking for a little peek a boo of black, you best go
pretty light handed with this one, otherwise I'd recommend on of the others to achieve that perfect Halloween mani.


While all of these give the basic same "Halloweenie" effect, 
each one brings something different & special to the table.


I love them all, 
and I'm looking forward to see what other new ones come out this year.

Elegant Black Beauty

This design was a request from

Meagan from Facebook, 

who has a wedding to go to

Inspired by the beautiful

I came up with this one-stroke floral design

that I absolutely love!

Cool Zebra

Hi Everyone! 

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Summer so far!

Things have been a little slow on my blog, and I do apologize for that!

As my kids get older, every Summer, every holiday, it seems to 

be increasingly more difficult to find time and reign them in...

and I haven't even reached the teens yet!

YIKES!

But I do have a new design today, and I've also got some

hauls and swap posts coming up as well.

So today, I've got a blue turquoise gradient zebra print. 

I don't know why, but I always associate animal prints 

with Summer, I guess it is just the boldness and the fun of them.

I always like using unusual color combinations with my prints too

to keep it even more interesting.

I've had several people comment that this feels more aquatic, 

and reminds them of drifting seaweed....that works too!

This design was inspired by so many others I've seen, I just had to 

try it out and make it my own. 

I hope you like it!

Inglot Haul

Here is my latest haul from Inglot.

If you are not familiar, Inglot is a cosmetic company based out of Poland,

that is quickly rising in the ranks to be known

as one of the top makeup brands. 

I'll admit, I'm completely obsessed and my 

Inglot collection is growing larger and larger by the day.

The quality, lasting ability, and pigmentation far 

surpasses anything I've ever previously owned,
and I am always thrilled to death to get my hands on new goodies from them.

These are loose shadows that can be placed into

Inglot's "Freedom System" palettes. I do own a couple of them,
but I much prefer to place them in my Z palettes. 

The fantastic thing about buying these particular 

loose shadows are,

they have 2.7 grams of product compared to a 

standard MAC shadow at 1.5 grams.

and they are only $5.oo each! 

There is no need to de-pot them either, which for me is great,
because I always have a 
tendency to nick my shadows.

 You can purchase the single shadows in their case, 

which are $12.oo each.

My only complaint with Inglot is nothing has names, 

they are all numbered, 

so at times, it can be a little difficult to keep track of.

Here are they swatched, with no base

Like the shadows, the lipsticks also apply like a dream,

and last for ages.

Each one has a light scent, not over-powering,

but if you are sensitive to smells, be noted that they are scented.

#106, the Coral cream has a very light fruity smell,

while #413 has a light floral smell, very pleasant.

I think the scents go by finish, as apposed to shade, 

as I own a few Mattes, and they all have the same

light floral smell, #106 being my first cream, smells fruity.

Here are a few eye looks, created with these latest colors

Inglot AMC #30 as base, with MAC's Copperplate in crease

Inglot #322 on lid, #392 in crease, with #377 in outer V

#379 on lid, a blend of #334 & #392 in the crease, 

with a blend of #320 & #377 in the outer V

Haven't tried Inglot yet, but are considering it?

I HIGHLY recommend you run, not walk to your nearest Inglot

or for those that don't have an Inglot location to you,

you can order from their website as well.
