This Is Halloween

In light of Halloween this October, I thought that this would be the perfect time to share this special polish to me!

This handmade nail polish came from Ash over at Art Evolve. If you don't know her, she is a fellow Twinsie of mine and she is just so sweet!

Yeah. Sorry. I know my pinky looks weird on it's over there but I didn't notice that until after I added in the watermark. It sort of looks like it has a life of it's own. Poor pinky.

This is Halloween by Snailz. Snailz is a line that Ash and her sister created in hopes of opening a shop of their own sometime soon.

This is Halloween is a purple based polish with small and medium sized orange hex glitters as well as small black hex glitters and it covered perfectly in 2 coats. It was also very easy to apply.

Isn't this such a lovely polish and just perfect for Halloween? I love that it really reminds me of Halloween. And for those of you who don't favor nail art too much or simply am just lazy, I'd say that this one is perfect for some one like that or more like someone like me.

Darling Diva Antares

I love me some Darling Diva Polishes! Most of all Carrie! Oh she's the best!

This is Antares from her Halloween collection.

 The guiding star for the Guardian of the Watchtower of the West. Primary Element of Water.

Rochelle is the witch large and in charge of this watchtower. It is naturally thought because she is the competitive swimmer that she was naturally drawn to this watchtower. The color scheme behind this polish is the true Wiccan colors for this watchtower.

 Look at all that goodness!

 

Before a topcoat of glitter.

After a coat a glitter.

Antares is a blue jelly base with various blue and orange holo glitters as well some some blue and orange metallic glitters (some square) and blue to green iridescent shimmer.

Doesn't she look beautiful? So juicy! Yummy sandwich, ready to eat!

You can't see too much of the iridescent glitters in here since I did a jelly sandwich, but it's much more visible in real life, as well at the holo glitters. I am planning to play with it some more so you can see the iridescent glitters and the true goodness of this polish.

Likewise, this polish was amazing! The formula was a bit thick but nothing a littler polish thinner couldn't fix. Application was smooth and finish was not bumpy at all.  I was actually really surprised how long this stayed on! Because I loved it so much, I kept it on for a week! There was obvious tip wear but it didn't peel off, at all! 

With my previous positive experience with Carrie's Darling Diva Polishes, my expectations are pretty high and her polishes exceed my them by far! I love them and highly recommend them!

You can purchase Darling Diva Polishes at her Etsy shop here. Her polishes retail between $8 -$12. You can also "Like" her Facebook page to keep updated on her shop and future polishes here.

Darling Diva Polish Regulus Review

So, I wanted to wait to do some reviews on the lovely Darling Diva Polishes since I cut my nails down to nubbins this past weekend, but I just could not wait to show you some of her lovelies! I was so excited, yes, very!

And if you haven't already seen my previous DDP review, you can check it out here!

My new polish bestie, Carrie from Darling Diva Polish and I have been exchanging emails and texts and have met up a few times, and I can not even explain to you how sweet she is! We polish talked for over hours! Seriously! Not to mention, she has a stash to die for! I'm not joking! Like melmers full of Deborah Lippmans and hard-to-find OPI's and China Glaze's. I sat there and petted (is that even a word?) her lovelies. Oh and I died a little over there - I was in polish heaven!

Now I'm totally getting side-tracked. Sorry.

This gem here is Regulus. Regulus is a part of her Halloween collection inspired by the true Wiccans colors. Regulus is the guiding star for the Guardian of the Watchtower of the South. Primary Element of Fire.

Playing with the lighting. Check out those purple iridescent glitters!

Regulus is a reddish jelly base jam packed with purple iridescent glitters and green glitter squares. There are also large red hexes interspersed throughout. This was only 2 smooth and buttery coats with no base/underwear. I topped this off with Bettina Base/top coat. Isn't she lovely? Check out those red hexes!  

This one is definitely one of my favorites. The red jelly base, purple iridescent glitters, large red hexes and it applied like a dream! It just can not get any better! And I love how the green square glitters almost look black but they're really not. Need I say more? Seriously, glitter-jelly goodness! 

The best part is yet to come! 

You can purchase Darling Diva Polishes at her Etsy shop here for only $8! Some are $12. But seriously, an awesome indie for $8, that doesn't come around enough.

You can also "Like" her Facebook page to keep updated on her shop and future polishes here. Also, she is having a 1000 Likes on Facebook giveaway which you can enter here, and her prizes are pretty awesome. They include 5 prizes:
