My Picks from the Delush Scream Supreme Collection Swatches & Review

Hey everyone! I'm back today with some gorgeously goulish polishes from the Scream Supreme collection that Delush Polish put out for last Halloween, inspired by the macabre anthology type TV show American Horror Story. I've recently become enamored with the show, so I had to grab some of the polishes! I picked up three, but there are seven colors in the collection.

A Night In the Asylum is named for my favorite season of the show so far, season 2 Asylum. It has a teal-y turquoise jelly base that gets deeper with every subsequent layer, holographic glitter in hexes and dots and large holographic circles. There is a bit of thickness that is typical of jelly polishes with larger glitters, so it takes thin coats and a little placement of the pieces for best results. I used three coats here with a thick layer of top coat. You could also layer one coat over a teal or black and get a more opaque look.

The Supreme is the title of AHS star Jessica Lange's character in season 3 Coven. She is the Supreme witch and this polish definitely fits that vibe, it's fierce! It has a dark blood-like burgundy purpley jelly base with metallic and iridescent glitters, mostly red but there are some blue and purpley bits in there. Excellent glitter payoff and easy to apply! I used three thin coats. This is darker indoors, in full sunlight the jelly base really gets illuminated.

Bitchcraft is also themed for season 3, it's the name of the first episode of Coven. It's a black jelly with squares, hexes and large holographic circles in shades of pink. I found the formula on this one to be the most thick so I tried to use very thin coats and it worked out well. This is three with a thick layer of top coat. You could layer this over a black crème too.

I purchased these three shades from Delush Polish for $8.95 each. I am lucky they were still available to buy, thanks for keeping these around until I learned about the amazingness of AHS, Adrianna! These are really fab Halloween polishes, I'm in rapture! What do you think of them?? Do you watch American Horror Story? The new season starts in October and Lady Gaga will be in it!

Loaded Lacquer Zombie Hayride Swatch & Review

Hi everyone! I wanted to show you a polish that I got not too long ago that I've just gone gaga for, but sadly it's no longer available. Don't hate me for showing you a polish you can't buy anymore! I just had to post it, it's too great!

The polish is Zombie Hayride by indie brand Loaded Lacquer. I bought this during the last restock they did of the polish, I don't think they're going to bring it back again because it was a Halloween shade for this year. It has iridescent blue/green bar glitters, small metallic purple/pink hex glitters and holographic purple microglitter. I layered it over BB Couture Evil Queen, which I showed you here.

It's AMAZING and I love it. I hope Loaded Lacquer decides to bring this back one day, because no one should be denied this beauty. *EDIT* I just heard from the maker that they are going to restock this a few more times! Keep your eyes peeled! *END EDIT* Even girls who don't like bar glitter have said that they are in love with it! You can purchase other Loaded Lacquers on their website, they are $10 per bottle.

See ya and thanks for reading!

China Glaze Halloween 2014 Apocalypse of Color Collection Swatches & Review

Hi friends! Happy day after Thanksgiving (for the USA) and Happy Black Friday! This is kinda funny, since it's the next holiday and all, but today I have the Halloween 2014 collection from China Glaze to show you, Apocalypse of Color. It's got six shades, one of which I've already shown you, and another of which I am not going to show you. Stay with me, there's more ;) I purchased two of these prior to receiving them as press samples, so I actually have three polishes from this collection that I'm not opening to swatch, meaning there'll be a giveaway for those three at the end of the post, so stay tuned for that!

Press Sample | Purchased by Me

First is one of the purchased polishes, Getting to Gnaw You. It's got a black jelly base with tons of copper glitters. This is awesome and perfect for Halloween. I found it easy to apply, but it's got a slight texture, making it very top coat thirsty. I used two coats of polish, then one coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and one coat of Digital Flash from the same brand. This combo of thick top coat wrangled in the texture and made it glass-like. I've seen swatches of it without top coat and it's just as lovely with the natural finish.

Next is another texture but this one is more pronounced, it's I Love Your Guts. This is a bright pinky red matte with a gossamer layer of silver shimmer and little black bits of microglitter. I have heard others have had trouble with applying this one and the next one I'm going to show you, but I found it really easy to put on. I usually don't like mattes because the application can be so temperamental, but this one was a cinch for me. I used two coats here, no top coat.

Kin to I Love Your Guts is But of Corpse. This is a green version with the same black microglitter, silver shimmer and texture. This reminds me of Frankenstein so much! I found this one equally easy to paint with. I didn't buy this or the previous one, but I'm glad I got them as samples, because I ended up loving them! Two coats, no top coat.

The glitter bomb of the collection is called Rest in Pieces. Could these names be any better? It's got holographic and metallic gold, bronze and black hexes and string glitters in varying sizes in a clear base. I wanted this one a lot but resisted buying it, and it's another one I'm glad I ended up receiving for review because it's awesome! This is two coats over pale nude crème OPI My Vampire is Buff. A bit of placing and dabbing is required for this.

And last is the polish I showed you on actual Halloween haha, Don't Let the Dead Bite. I was going to leave it out because you already saw it on me, but I had to include it because it's just that good! This has a fleshy pink crelly base with multisized red hexes and bar glitters. I used two coats here. I love this.

This collection also includes a glow-in-the-dark top coat called Ghoulish Glow that China Glaze releases every year with their Halloween collection. I've already got a bottle of it from a few years ago so I don't need to keep this one. You can purchase China Glaze from Sally Beauty Supply or Ulta stores, or at a lot of online shops like Transdesign and Head2Toe Beauty.

The polishes I'm giving away are the unopened sample bottles of Ghoulish Glow, Don't Let the Dead Bite and Getting to Gnaw You. Please read all terms and conditions detailed in the Rafflecopter widget below, but in a nutshell this is open to all USA residents aged 18 or older. The giveaway will be open until 12/6/2014.

**CLOSED**
The winners have been chosen and emailed! Congrats to Samantha F. :) Thank you everyone for entering!

China Glaze Don't Let the Dead Bite Swatch & Review

Happy Halloween! I took this photo a while ago when my nails were nice and long, I recently broke one on my swatching hand down to the quick :( and I'm OCD about the length so I had to chop them all off. My nails haven't been so short in a long time! Anyway, this is a totally appropriate Halloween polish, China Glaze Don't Let the Dead Bite from their Apocalypse of Color collection. I heard this polish is supposed to look like blood splatter on skin, yikes haha!

Purchased by Me

It has a pale fleshy pink crelly base with red glitters in multisized hexes and bars. Really excellent and so creepy! One of my absolute favorite Halloween polishes of all time. I used two coats of this. The photo above is with shiny top coat and the photo below is with matte top coat.

What did you spend your Halloween doing? I had the day off because Nevada Day happens to fall on Oct. 31 so lucky me! I'll have the entire China Glaze Apocalypse of Color collection to show you soon, I didn't receive press samples of them until a few days ago. I bought this one a while ago at Sally Beauty Supply.

See ya soon and don't let the dead bite tonight!
