For my first link up, I decided to push back my makeup tutorial to show you this awesome polish that I custom made with Laura of Nails by Laura on Etsy. She loves doing custom orders & I adore Halloween so this was a match made in Halloween heaven! I picked out the shades & ideas BUT I didn’t really get to know what it looked like until it arrived! She did an amazing job, it is even better than I imagined!

This is Halloween from Nails by Laura (custom order): A clear base packed with dense black glitter medium hexes, medium green hexes, & mini + small neon orange hexes. There is also a healthy dose of silver holo in there! Seen here in 1 coat.

I just, I love it. I haven’t seen anything like it at all. I wanted something different with a bit of funk to it. Plus, she knows me oh so well so when she suggested holo added she knew I would never ever say no. Ever. Holo hair? I’d go there. I love that the neon orange hexes aren’t your typical pumpkin shade, definitely unlike any other Halloween polishes I’ve seen.

My only issue with this polish is finding the perfect base. I used Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Stonewall here which is a slightly warm/lilac gray. I thought it would be just the right amount of Halloween randomness because white just didn’t seem as fun & black wouldn’t show off the black shimmers. I think I’ll try it over a light orange, red, & maybe a navy next!

What do you think? Are you digging my creation & its originality? I bought this for only $10 off her shop on Etsy & it will last me a seriously long time, her bottles are way generous. The brushes work nicely as well! On a fun note, I’m wearing this to the zoo today for our anniversary, we’ve been married 4 years now! Wowie, I’m getting old!
