Review: "Freak Show Spectacle" from Delush Polish

Hello Readers:

Halloween may be over, but fabulous spooky themed polish is still up for grabs! Today I have a polish from Delush Polish's  Scream Supreme collection, that was inspired by American Horror Story. I will admit that I have actually never seen the show before, but I still needed the polish in my life.

"Freak Show Spectacle" is a deep plum jelly with an array of circus inspired microfine glitter. Some of the glitter colors include: red, blue, yellow, green, orange, white, etc.

 

Sadly there was no sun to show off the sparkle of this glitterbomb, but the colors are still so much fun! I love everything about this polish. The opacity builds beautifully and it is chalk full of microfine glitter. I used three coats of polish over a clear base coat and a clear top coat. I did experience some shrinkage but I believe that was due to my top coat and not the polish itself.

 

If you are a fan of American Horror Story, or just need to have this polish in your life like I did, you can buy it over at Delush Polish's website.

 

Are you an American Horror Story fan? What has been your favorite season so far? I tend not to watch anything horror related (though I did get into The Walking Dead). Is this something I should watch anyway or would it give me nightmares like horror movies do lol

 

Until next time.

Double Review: "Gryffindor" and "Hufflepuff" from Above the Curve

Hello Readers:

I think the sunshine is officially a lost cause. I think the overcast weather with just peeks of sunshine is here to stay, which sadly, has made taking good holo shots difficult. I do try to be as fast as I can while the sun sneaks out though.

Today, I have two polishes from Above the Curve's Harry Potter inspired collection. I have the final two houses to show you; "Gryffindor" and "Hufflepuff". You can see my post for "Ravenclaw" and "Slytherin" HERE.

First up is "Gryffindor", which is a maroon holo with red/gold shifting microglitter and fine gold hexes.

 

This is such a great holo! I did take some shade shots so you could get a better look at the mico glitter. Apologies for the water drops in some, I didn't completely get the water off after washing the excess polish remover from my hands.

 

I love this shade of red! Mainly because true reds look awful on me so when I saw that this Gryffindor polish was maroon I was (for a lack of a better phrase) over the moon! HAHA I'm so in love with this collection, I can't say enough good things about it.

 

I used two coats of "Gryffindor" over a clear base coat, and no top coat. I had no application issues, nor any staining issues. "Gryffindor" also has great wear time, no chipping even after four days (with top coat that isn't pictured here).

 

Now,  onto "Hufflepuff", which is soft yellow crelly with different sized black holo hexes and fine shifting glitter.

 

 

 

 

Now I don't often wear yellows as they look awful with my skin tone (with oranges coming in second and reds bringing up the rear), but I still had to have this polish. You just can't leave out Hufflepuff! It is a great polish, though I will admit that I had bad chipping issues with this one. The opacity builds up well, I used two coats of polish over a clear base coat and no top coat.

 

Overall I adore this collection! Maybe even more than I adore their Doctor Who inspired collection (*gasp*) lol Which has been your favorite polish from Above the Curve's HP inspired collection? Is there one they haven't done yet that you'd like to see in part 2 of the HP collection?

 

If you'd like to see Above the Curve's Harry Potter inspired collection, or any of their other fabulous polishes you can check out their Etsy Shop.

 

Until next time.

Review: "Look At The Flowers Lizzie" from Dollish Polish

Hello Readers:

I have an AWESOME polish from Dollish Polish's collaboration with Accio Lacquer aka the Ultimate Fandom Collection. Today's polish from that collection is inspired by the fandom: The Walking Dead.

"Look At The Flowers Lizzie" is a yellow toned olive green crelly with varying sizes of matte glitters in white, pink, yellow, green, black, and coral, and has a tiny green micro-glitter for a hint of shimmer.

I'm still new to this fandom, but even if I wasn't a fan of the show I would still buy this polish. It is so lovely! The color combinations are wonderful! I do think this would be best over an olive colored base to really have good opacity, but it's pretty good by itself too. The photos show three coats of polish over a clear base, and a clear top coat. I had no application issues. The glitters were plentiful, I didn't have to dig for the big ones (though I did have the bottle upside down while I was prepping my nails). Love it!

 

If you would like to own this polish please check out Dollish Polish's website, and be on the lookout for Part 2 of the Ultimate Fandom Collection. I know I will be :)

 

Until next time.

Review: "Rubies and Rednecks" from Colors By Llarowe

Hello Readers:

Today I have a polish from Colors By Llarowe's redneck woman collection: "Rubies and Rednecks". This polish was actually a freebie surprise I received during their summer collection release preorder, and boy was it a surprise! A FABULOUS surprise at that! To be honest I didn't even know this polish existed, but I'm glad it was given to me.

"Rubies and Rednecks" is a red jelly based polish with red, pink, burgundy, and holo glitter in various sizes.

 

Isn't it just GORGEOUS?!? I'm still stunned by it's beauty! I used three coats of polish over a clear base coat, and a clear top coat. It went on easy and smooth, no issues at all and no staining (always a plus!).

 

I don't know if this polish will ever be restocked but keep an eye on the Colors by Llarowe Facebook page and the Llarowe website for this and other wonderful polishes.

 

 

Until next time.
