I am all about the texture trend (check out past reviews about the textured Zoyas, OPI, Wet n Wild, etc) & when I heard Sinful Colors was coming out with some of their own I squealed with excitement! The two colors I have to show you today are Treasure Chest & Purple Gleam…& I love them!
The formula on these shades has kind of a lighter texture, not a heavy duty grit. I applied Purple Gleam first & did two sheerer coats (although these are pretty darn opaque!) which covered really nicely. For Treasure Chest I did one thicker coat & found it applied much better than trying to apply it more sheer & it still dried down to a great texture finish.

Sinful Colors Purple Gleam- A a slightly warm toned lilac that has purple/pink/blue shimmer/sheen that dries down to a matte, textured finish. 2 more sheer coats, no top coat.

Sinful Colors Treasure Chest- A green toned aqua that has a brightness with golden shimmer/sheen that dries down to a matte, textured finish. 1 even coat, no top coat.

These polishes aren’t as glittery/flashy as the Zoya Pixie Dusts but for $2.99 I think they’re quite impressive! I love the shimmer & although they aren’t in your face they are still absolutely lovely. If you don’t love the ultra-textured feel to some of the brands on the market then I think you’d also really like these! They don’t snag on things or get as dirty because they’re less gritty.

I bought it. 

Halloween pretties are often my favorites. Perhaps because it is my favorite holiday? Another reason is likely that I end up finding black glitter which used to be hard to find (not so much anymore!) & I love mysterious type shades. When I was choosing shades from the China Glaze Halloween collection I ended up with three shades:  Fang-tastic, Boo-gie Down, & Howl You Doin’. Keep reading to see what I think!
I used an even topper of Out the Door for the swatches below. 2/3 are over a base & those shades will be reviewed soon! All of these shades are limited edition & I’m a bit behind in posting these so if you do like a shade try to snap it up locally or buy online like I do 😉

China Glaze Fang-tastic- A mix of blue, fuchsia, blurple, & green hex glitters in a clear base.One coat over Sinful Colors Laced Up. This doesn’t look Halloween-esque to me but I still really like it. This is something I honestly would’ve thought was from a spring collection even but application/glitter payoff were pretty Fang-tastic (see what I did there?) so I shall let it pass.

China Glaze Boo-gie Down- Black, white, & copper glitter in varying sizes in a clear base. This has some awesome varying sizes of hexes from micro to medium/large & even some black bare glitter. This applied really nicely which was a big relief since the last white glitter I bought from China Glaze was Whirled Away…& it was a total mess (read about that fiasco here but my swatches have really changed!). I think this is my favorite polish of the three because it just looks so fall-tastic. One coat over Sinful Colors Strapped.

China Glaze Howl You Doin’- This is a red based purple jelly-ish base packed with purple small glitter & orange-ish shard flakes. It was really kind of balding on the first coat but the second coat evened it out. I had a heck of a time with cleanup on this on for some reason!

I’m really happy I picked up all three of these shades & can actually see myself using all 3 repeatedly which is key when you accumulate a stash like mine at the moment. Boo-gie Down is my favorite of the 3 I think but I am both a black & white polish & copper anything sucker so that could totally be why!

Have you picked up any of these shades? What are some of your favorite Halloween shades?

I bought it. Affiliate links.

I feel like copper can totally be a year round shade but I break it out a lot more during the fall. Doesn’t it just go with all of the fall shades perfectly? Did you see my post on Sephora by OPI in Lights, Glammer-a, Action! If you did then you probably know about the amazing sale currently on this line at Sephora & how much I love the jewelry topcoats. Today I show you a shade that is both a bargain & really pretty!

Sephora by OPI in Traffic-Stopper Copper- Copper micro & medium hexes suspended in a clear base.Falling glitter sponged from my cuticles. Seen here with Seche Vite topcoat.

Here it is with some Butter LONDON Matte Finish Topcoat. Pretty & crisp for fall! By the way, my base shade is from the Tracy Reese Fall 2013 Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Collection & is called Malbec. I reviewed & swatched it here along with Gold Roses with is a stunner!

I love this polish so much! Most shades that promise to be copper lean rose gold or bronze. Rose gold is great & so is bronze but they just aren’t copper!This shade specifically isn’t availible at the moment on the Sephora website BUT that doesn’t mean it won’t come back! There are lots of lovely polishes in this line & the current 3 bottles for $10 deal is definitely worth a look! If you have your heart set on this shade I suggest picking it up at your local Sephora store!

I picked this shade up at Claire’s awhile back on sale, I’m guessing they consider it a summer polish. Not me! I totally love neons with black & white glitter so this is just too cool to pass up. Keep reading to see more detailed swatches!

Claire’s Nail Polish in Graffiti- A neon highliter green based yellow packed with black micro hexes, small hexes, medium hexes, large hexes, black bar glitter, & white large hexes. 2 coats over OPI Alpine Snow. Dries matte so swatches include one coat of Out the Door.

I love that this base is sheer so I can go back & layer. I honestly didn’t have to do much, the glitter didn’t clump up all that much or leave many balding spots. Claire’s polishes can be hard to pin down so if you want this shade or something similar I suggest checking out your local Claire’s store. I’ll probably never get over the black & white glitter trend so I’m always excited to add something new to my collection!
