China Glaze Halloween Spam and Comparison

Soo... you all probably get it by now that I freaking love this month. This month is full of change for me: I'm changing jobs, figuring out how to go back to school for a different career, living in a new place... it's a lot. So my posts are a lot more sporadic, but I'm picking colors that make me happy. Of course I had to pick up a few of the new China Glaze Halloween Wicked collection.

 China Glaze Cast-a-spell = I LOVE THIS POLISH. It is full of sparklies and makes me feel like a crow with my sparklies. It's so hard to catch the awesomeness that is this polish. It's rich, velvety deep dark blackened green base with gold and green and orange super small flakes. It glows. I normally hate green polishes, but something about China Glaze glass fleck + Halloween = win for me.

And for those who might want to compare this gorgeous green with last year's Halloween green, Zombie Zest, here are four coats of Zombie Zest next to two coats Cast-a-spell.

 And China Glaze Zombie Zest from last years Halloween collection on its own. This color is so ugly-pretty. Like Exorcist pea-soup vomit on your nails, but sparkly! I love it. But I don't love how sheer it is. This is four coats and it shrank on me.

 And another from this year's Wicked collection, Bizarre Blurple. This polish is just downright sexy. I loved wearing this. The formula was great, the color is great.  BB has a medium/deep rich purple base with just a hiiint of dustiness in some lights, with a GORGEOUS bright blue flash. Enough words, here's pics.

And the iridescent glitter bomb of this collex, Make A Spectacle. This one is kind of a greener/ orange-er version of China Glaze Snow Globe. I did one coat of MAS and three coats of Icing's Eenie Greeny Mine-y Mo (no idea how to spell that name, lol.). I know this doesn't really show off MAS to it's full potential, but I wanted dragon scale nails!

Yum, glitter :)

Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream + glitter!

AHHHH! This is one of my new favorite polishes! The base of Mermaid's Dream is a duochromey minty metallic/chrome shade that shifts a little bit blue or gold depending on the lighting. There are also tons of medium blue glitters that give the polish extra depth and sparkle. As if that wasn't enough gorgeousness, hiding are these gorgeous twinkly gold specks of glitter throughout the polish that  just give it a glowy magical quality that I love. LOVE!

And to play up the blue I added a coat of Icing's Disco Ball, which is blue glitter in a clear base. I think I'll wear this combo for twooo days because I like it so much! Although I might add a bit of holo topcoat :).

Glitter-tastic!

New Icing polishes!

On one hand, I love that Icing stores frequently come out with new colors, but I get so sad when I miss out on a limited polish and can't get it again. This time I hit it just at the right time! I grabbed two colors, one that reminds me of Butter London Disco Biscuit, and one that reminds me of China Glaze Rainstorm.

I Like the Night Life is sooo neat and complex. Medium bright blue base with a cool purple flash and small blue glitter throughout. I was afraid that this polish would dry lumpy, but it was perfect! A little thick, but I was so happy that one coat of topcoat smoothed it out and the shimmer wasn't too hidden! Shown here is about three coats.

And here is Lipstick and Lovers. This sucker was super frustrating for me because it wouldn't get opaque! This if four or five coats, and eventually I just gave up and said whatever. It's so bright that I figured nobody would care if there was visible nail line. Otherwise formula was okay, super pretty bright pink bordering on reddish pink with a pretty blue/violet shimmer with blue glassflecks. Reminded me of Disco Biscuit, which I've been hardcore lemming. Next time I'm going to try this over a white base to lighten it up and help with opacity.

You can buy these babies for $4.50 at Icing stores, and they always have a buy one get one 50% off deal. Happy shopping!
