Not so Scary Halloween look

Today I have a very un- spooky nail look to show.  I just love the simplicity of the dry brush look. And of course I had to use green, orange, and purple together. Onto the mani.

Holo on Holo for Halloween

At first I wasn't sure if stamping with a holo polish over a holo would work. I actually really like the end result though.

Sincerely Polish- Witch Upon a Moon

Disclaimer: I purchased the products mentioned in this post. This post may contain affiliate links, if clicked I may receive compensation.

Witch upon a moon is from Sincerely Polish's Something Wicked Collection for Halloween.


For this mani I used 3 coats of Witch upon a Moon, then stamped using Opi Silver Canvas using BMH07 from Bundle Monster and Mash38 for the spider. Super simple mani, but I love how it turned out. 

Just look at all the different gllitter in Witch upon a Moon, there is a mix of large and small different colored hex and squares, also silver holo moons. Although this polish is perfect for Halloween I definitely plan on wearing it anytime of year. 

This collection was released toward the end of  August, unfrotuntely it is long sold out now and will not be restocked. Thought I would mention, sorry.

Sassy Polish & Scrubs- Max Luvs Yabbos

Disclaimer: I purchased the products mentioned in this post. This post may contain affiliate links, if clicked I may receive compensation.

For today I really wanted something simple but still Halloween themed. I just recently received my order from Sassy Polish & Scrubs and could not wait to use them. 

When I saw she had a Hocus Pocus collection I knew I had to have them. There are 4 in this collection. Max Luvs Yabbos, Sanderson Sisters, Black Flame Candle, and Burning Rain of Death. Now if you do not understand these names, I do suggest you spend some time watching Hocus Pocus. I myself watch it every year at least once, sometimes more lol. Ok onto the mani.

Little Miss Disappear

Disclosure:  I purchased the products mentioned in this post. This post may contain affiliate links, if clicked I may receive compensation


If there's one thing I'm probably the biggest sucker for it's anything and everything Disney related! The Lady Varnishes has been releasing a monthly Disney villain since December 2014 and then last November she also began releasing a Disney/Pixar Girl monthly as well. These ladies have all been full coverage holographic micro glitters. April's Pixar Girl was Little Miss Disappear for Violet Parr in The Incredibles; it is indeed incredible!

A true violet, Little Miss Disappear is made up of various sized blue and purple micro glitters. Pictured is 2 coats over an almost invisible base color but can be fully opaque in 3 layers on its own. Not only is the holo stunning but this can appear more blue or purple leaning depending on lighting.

Recently I was given the opportunity to nail model for Blue Sparrow Trinkets! April is such a sweetheart and I can't wait to continue to work with her, which also means there will be more of these to come.

The kraken by Rainbow Honey


This product was provided as a press sample. All thoughts are my own.

About the color: The Kraken is a marine jelly with a blue and green glow filled with glitters, shimmer, and the sea monster’s own holographic Crashing Boom Bang!

I love the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and own them all. When I saw the Kraken I fell in love. I love the color the sparkle and the theme behind the polish. If you love POTC movies or just jelly polishes then this polish is something you will want to add to your collection. I have a few swatches to share with you below and a discount code so keep reading!

Darling Diva Polish The Opera House #swatch and #review


I have another polish for review today from one of my favorite indie polish makers. This one is called the Opera House. Here is a little about the polish:

Part of my Battlestar Galactica themed polishes, this is The Opera House. This polish represents the golden light ethereal scene of the Opera House. This has to be one of my personal favorites so far.

This is meant to be a top coat. You could have it opaque in about 3 coats. 

This shimmery white polish is full of various sized hexes and squares in white, golden holographic, and gold. Some of the glitters may curl a bit in the bottle, this does not affect how they lay on the nail with your normal routine (basecoat, layering color, glitter polish, gelous (if you so choose) and top coat). Because of the size of the glitters this is meant to be thicker. If you find it a bit thick please add thinner until it reaches your consistency.

**some of the little gold squares do look curled in the bottle but they will lay flat on the nail**

This polish is currently on last call status (Which means when its gone its gone.) at $6 a bottle.
