NOW AVAILABLE! Oopsie Daisies Nail Polish Sanderson Sisters Halloween Trio

This collection was actually released a couple days prior but this is the first mention of it here.  For more consistent updates check out the Oopsie Daisies Nail Polish Facebook Page.

This is one of my favorite collections to date! I am obsessed with the movie Hocus Pocus and watch it regardless of what time of the year it is, so it was an obvious decision for the Halloween collection to be based on the wicked witches themselves!

I'll Take Thee Away - Witchcraft - For Thy Sisters
The trio consists of three jelly based polishes inspired by the witches costumes.  First up is I'll Take Thee Away -I'll Take Thee Away is inspired by the delightfully dense Sarah Sanderson. The color scheme in this polish is derived from her spectacular costume. I'll Take Thee Away consists of lilac, pink, purple, violet and pink holo dot glitter in various finishes and sizes all put together in squishy dark berry base. Shown below is three coats on its own with one coat of top coat.





Next is Witchcraft.  Witchcraft is inspired by the hauntingly evil Winifred Sanderson. The color scheme in this polish is derived from her wicked costume. Witchcraft consists of green holo, turquoise, green, silver and large turquoise holo dot glitter in various finishes and sizes all put together in squishy black jelly base. Shown is 3 coats on its own with one coat of topcoat.  This polish can also easily be worn over a black creme for a less squishy final effect.





Closing out the trio is For Thy Sisters. For Thy Sisters is inspired by the pleasantly plump Mary Sandersons. The color scheme in this polish is derived from her fabulous costume. For They Sisters consists of silver holo squares, silver and red glitter in various sizes and finishes in a squishy darkened red jelly base. Shown is 2 coats on its own with one coat of topcoat.






 The Sanderson Sisters Trio is now on sale at the Oopsie Daisies Nail Polish store for $8.50 a piece. Thanks for looking!

Butter London Knackered

I was kind of disappointed at the selection my Ulta had during the BOGO sale last week but I did pick up two, Knackered & Snog.  I was aware Knackered had the tendency to appear frosty but I really wanted to give it a chance anyways, and since it was on sale, I figured now would be the time.

"Natural" Light

This is four coats of Knackered on its own, over Barielle Advanced Pro and sealed with OTD.  There was still some VNL at three coats so I did four.  This polish is a duochrome, frosty.. glitter. Holo glitter for sure. The base leans purple/grey/green? I had a hard time pinpointing it with plain sight.  The Butter London website describes it as, "A sheer, twinkling oyster shade flecked with micro glitter particles. This duochrome nail lacquer is sure to please."

Might not be everyone's cup of tea but I actually liked it considering how different it is from my usual tastes.  It catches your eye, as it is certainly unique.

A winner has been picked and has until tomorrow to reply back or a new winner will be chosen. Check your emails!

Funky Fingers Mermaid Lagoon

Usually I pass on glitters like this, they've got a long history of sheeting off my nails within hours.  I figured for $2 I could take the plunge since it is so unique and interesting, at least from what I've seen or owned. I'm incredibly happy I did - I actually had to use the foil method to get this off my nails.  That NEVER happens.

"Natural" Light

This is two coats of Mermaid Lagoon over Orly Bonder and sealed with Out the Door. No undies were needed, it catches the light so nicely that you really don't even need anything underneath.

"Natural" Light

Funky Fingers bottles are the wonkiest things, I clearly, however, am an expert at holding them.

There's little purple hexes, larger holo ones (which I normally detest holo glitter), and shimmer-y dust in a clear base.  It really looks like someone put a mermaid in a blender and then bottled it, and I'm not complaining!
