I'm suffering from hemisphere confusion. It's Spring here in the Southern Hemisphere, but all the gorgeous Autumn colours and the fact it's been overcast and a tad rainy, is leading me to believe it must be Autumn again. Good thing there's blossom right out my window to remind me it's most definitely Spring.
I have quite a lot of swatches to share with everyone, Halloween polishes, Autumn polishes, Christmas polishes and of course since I am in the Southern Hemisphere a few Spring and Summer polishes. So I basically have a bit of everything to show.
I thought I'd start today with the China Glaze Haunting collection for Halloween 2011. I actually really like these four polishes. Near Dark is one of my new favourites.

Crimson |
Crimson is a dark vampy colour. It can appear almost black, but it's not. A very sexy colour for Halloween. It's rather jellyish so this was three coats, with out a top coat. I love how shiny Crimson is.

Near Dark |
I am in love with Near Dark. Again like Crimson it can appear black, but it's not. It's a super dark swampy jelly like green with incredible shine. I've only used two coats so the awesome green shows through. In real life it looked awesome but the next time I wore it I used three coats.

Haunting |
Stunning black with silver glitter. I'm not big on black nail polish so Haunting was unique in my collection... until I tried Haunting, loved it and bought a heap of black and glitter polishes...lol. This was two coats.

It's Alive |
I'm loving all the glitters that have come out this year with tiny glitter and hex glitter. It's Alive is a gorgeous swampy green glitter in a swampy green base. It's very Halloween appropriate and very fun to wear. This was three coats.
I love holiday themed polish but it Halloween or Christmas. I can't wait to start showing some of the gorgeous Christmas polishes making their way to me.
Hopefully my giveaway will be up today. I meant to have it up yesterday but I was lazy and uber cranky as I started a diet yesterday. All I wanted was pizza. All I could have was this gross smoothie. I don't even like smoothies. At least dinner was awesome. I love salad. Lets see how I go today :S
gorgeous colors and great pic, thanks for the post :)
ReplyDeleteeasy to say I need all of these, great colors
ReplyDeleteI think China Glaze really out did themselves with this collection! Near Dark is my favorite as well. I used it in my manicure today and my goodness, I fell in love!

I've seen a few people say the cremes were boring in this collection... but I love all the polishes! I'm not normally into dark colours but I think Near dark might just become my signature polish!
ReplyDeleteThese look a lot different on you than I've seen on everyone else! Very pretty!
