Halloweek: Dollish Polish Welcome to Camp Crystal Lake

I am a huge fan of horror movies, I can watch them anytime and I watch all types of horror. When I saw Dollish Polish was releasing a Halloween collection, inspired by horror movies, I was all over that! The entire collection has 8 polishes, but I only got 5 of them, because the other 3 didn't appeal to me. Today I have one of those polishes for you.

Dollish Polish Welcome to Camp Crystal Lake is inspired by Friday the 13th and even though the movie is not one of my favorites, I love this polish! Dollish' description of this polish is spot on:

Inspired by the movie, Friday The 13th, This Navy Blue jelly jammed-packed with hexagon & dots glitters in multi shades of Blue, Silver, and Turquoise giving the illusion of "lake-like" crystal water appearance on your nails, minus the crazy guy in the hockey mask.

I have to admit, this polish is a weird one for me. I normally really don't like sheer polishes, they annoy me and don't look good on my nails. But this one... This is a true jelly base and as a result, it is really sheer. I did 3 coats, and it's still not completely opaque. But, I actually love that about this polish! It looks like a jelly sandwich and fits the name perfectly! It's that perfect lake water color, blue with a hint of green, almost teal, packed with different sized glitter and large round holo glitter. Stunning!

The formula was really nice and it dried fast, but I did have to fish the large round glitter out of the bottle, after 3 coats of polish I had a total of 0 on my nails without fishing... jup... none came out on their own. They do make this polish special, so I think the fishing is definitely a must, but with a result like this, I really didn't mind.

I love this collection and will be showing the other ones I got very soon!

What's your favorite Halloween polish?

Colors by Llarowe Purple Rain

I've mentioned the awesome website Llarowe more than once on my blog. You can find the best indie polishes on this site and I have spend many a dollar there. When Leanne announced that she would be releasing her own line of nail polish, I was thrilled! With all that experience with indie polishes, these must be absolutly fantastic polishes.

As soon as I saw the first picture of Colors by Llarowe Purple Rain I knew I had to have it! This wonderful deep purple polish had to be mine!

Purple Rain is a dark purple jelly with a ton of blue micro glitter. So gorgeous and unique to my collection. When I painted the first coat, I noticed that the formula was a little weird. Thick and goopy, like trying to paint thick syrup on my nails. I just couldn't get an thin, even coat on my nails. I was wondering if this was the normal consistancy of this polish or did I somehow get a bad one? A friend of mine also has this polish, so I checked with here and her polish is actually perfect! So I added just a few drops of thinner to my bottle and  that fixed it completely.



3 coats Purple Rain, 1 coat SV

It was opaque in 3 coats and it dried really fast. I love the understated beauty of this polish, the glitter/shimmer is very subtle, but in sunlight... oh boy... I just can't get over how gorgeous it is! The blue micro glitter really pops, absolutely stunning!

I love this polish, I really don't mind that I had to add a bit of thinner. This just happens sometimes. The bottle is also a really big plus in my opinion. The cap is rubbery which gives you a nice grip. The brush itself is nice and thin, but fans out enough to distribute the polish evenly. I am a huge fan!

Just look at the blue glitter in this polish!


Picture taken at night, but look at that blue glitter!
