Fourtune Teller! The Halloween Polish!

Wow!
Just Wow!
If you ever wanted or needed a Halloween nail polish, China Glaze has just granted your every dark little wish with Fortune Teller.
It is not only the perfect Halloween polish, it is also just freaking beautiful!
It is everything you could want in a polish of you like the spooky side of thing, like me, or just are a lover of good polish.


Fortune Teller is 2 sizes of a beautiful orange glitter. A small round and a large hexagon shaped glitter. They managed to get the glitter to pop even with the black base.
It only took 2 coats to get it opaque.

Aa you can see, this little baby really shines in the sun. They are not the best pictures, I had a bit of trouble with the sun washing the polish out and if you look close, you can the tips look odd. The Sally Beauty top coat I have been using, and it was serving me well, I might add, has suddenly started clouding up whatever polish I put it over!
The first time it happened, I was fixing dinner and right after I applied the top coat I had my fingers over steam So I added another coat and all seemed alright till I got Fortune Teller on my tips and they clouded up on me!
It was retched. Even after another coat, as you can tell, the tips still look cloudy or like I slopped a bit of a matte coat on them.
Back to the polish!
Not only was the color enough to get a polish fanatic all hot and bothered, in a very good way, the application was glorious. Thick, but it went where I wanted and stayed there.
It did seem to need more than one top coat, but not because it seemed to rough, but rather that the top coat sucked down into the polish and settled into the small dips. So it looked rough inside, but shined in splender in the sunlight
It was a bit odd, but well worth the puzzle.
I ended up getting two bottles right off the bat and I really am so very happy.
It will be my Halloween polish this year!

And while I picked up Sally Beauty exclusive, I got a sample bottle of China Glaze Matte Magic as well.
Naturally I had to try it out!



The wear on it is after a few days, so it is not the best, but I did want to enjoy all that was the shiny Fortune Teller first.

Sorry about the gap, my nails grow out so fast that I literally have to do my nails a few times a week or they grow out like above, and look tacky.
I think that was... 3 days after I did the coats of Fortune Teller.

Anyway, thank you China Glaze!
This is a top 5 favorite now.
Go hit up a Sally Beauty store now to get one of your own!

Gun Metal Slinger

And so we come to the end of the Sally Hansen haul from the drugstore.
This one is Gun Metal, and it is a dark gray/ silver shimmer.
This one got a few comments.

Thia is a wonderful color. I am always a fan of silvers.
With this one, it only took 2 coats and really is such a nice color.
Application was good, again only the long handle and the flooding that followed, could be eld against it. Even if you think you have just the right amount on the brush, the handle ten to hold more polish than you think could be up there. Then on occasion you overcompensate, and do not get enough.

But overall I thought they were quite nice.

Toes as well! I did an outdoor shot, but the grass got in the way of the shot, so I just used the indoor one I used to shw off what China Glaze Matte Magic did to it.


Up next I have a Halloween Glitter I have been so excited about!

Sun Kissed With Envy

I know this is late, but I have at least three updates for you back to back!

To start off we have a duel mani, of Sally Hanson Sun Kissed and Sally Hanson Green With Envy.

One thing you may see is the shorter nails.

I had a nail on my left hand that had broken off months ago, and once they really started to grow out, the small amount of nail missing really begin to be noticeable. And as different length nails (on me) drive me crazy, I shaped them all up so they match.

On with the colors! Sally Hanson Sun Kissed looks a glorious almost pumpkin orange creme here, as we had rain and clouds for a week with no sun to speak of (love the dark cloudy weather, but not the best when swatching), but in reality it is more peach than it seemed when I got it.

So it is not really a mate to Sally Hanson Green With Envy. It looks just how I wanted in on my nails in the picture, so it matches well there, but not outside of my camera.

It was also thinner than Green With Envy, so it took four coats to be opaque for me. That may just be what I had under my nails, but after three I could still see the nail line.

So here is where it got fun. While I had orange on the tips, under the nail, I applied Sally Hanson Green With Envy. I also used Nail Tek Foundation II to matte out the green to give it is different feel. I think that part worked well. I liked the shinny on top, matte underneath effect. I will have to try it again once I get a true matte top coat.

The picture looks exactly how I wanted this to be when I saw it in my head! But in reality, when on the orange and green are not quite suited to each other. Good idea, but I need a less peach orange for this to really work.

All in all, it was not a bad polish, just not orange enough for me.

Next up, fuchsia!
