Vapid Lacquer - Halloween Trio

Today I have some beautiful Halloween themed polishes from Vapid Lacquer to share with you today!


Lets start off with the details before getting into the swatches.

These three polishes will be available on Vapid Lacquer's website October 1, 2017 at 2pm CST. They will be available until they sell out, or until Tuesday, October 3rd, whichever occurs first.

In order to keep it fair to everyone, these polishes will have a one of each color per person rule.  If you order duplicates they will be refunded.  

Also, per the Vapid team "If you are ordering for a friend, please place a separate order and have it shipped directly to their name and address. Multiple bottles to one name and address will result in refunds."


Now, swatches!

Rite Of Exorcism


Rite of Exorcism is the Rite for expelling demons from the possessed.  It is described as a purple jelly base with a bit of unicorn sparkle, holographic shimmer, and a shifting iridescent flake. 

This polish has a lot going on, and it is just stunning.  The formula was great, I used three coats in my swatches.  It dried down flat and removed easily for me.  I have it shown below with both a gloss top coat, and a matte top coat.  I kinda really love it matte, which is your favorite?






The pictures below are shown with a Matte Top Coat.




Mephistopheles 


Mephistopheles is a demon, collecting souls of the dammed, and serving the devil.  It is described as a deep gray linear holo with a hint of randomness. 

Mephistopheles had an excellent formula.  It applied very well, I had no issues to report.  Shown here is two coats plus top coat.




I really liked this shot above ^ because you can see it shimmer in gold and greenish.  Its subtle and so gorgeous.



Leviathan


Leviathans are large and devastating sea monsters.  It is described as an aphotic blue base with shifting shimmer from unicorns, and a blast of holographic flame. 

I saved this one for last because it took my breath away.  I wore this to a barbecue and had lots of admiring comments on it.  I couldn't even bring myself to do any nail art over it, because I didn't want to cover up one inch of it.

The formula was excellent.  Applied smoothly and evenly.  Shown is two coats plus top coat.  









Don't forget to set an alarm on October 1, 2017 at 2pm CST, because you don't want to miss these three!

I'll leave you with a nail art look I did with Mephistopheles.

Baroness X Ghost Themed Halloween Trio

Hi everyone! Today I am back and I have something really exciting to share with you.  I have swatches of the Baroness X Ghost Themed Halloween Trio!

 

~Press Sample~


This trio is amazing! It features a shifty holo and two thermal polishes.  Thermal polishes with very visible transitions are some of my favorites and these two do not disappoint!

Let's start with the details before we lose our ability to form full sentences over the beauty of this trio.

These will be available September 30th, at 12 noon PST. The entire collection is Limited Edition, if there is a restock it won't be until next fall.

Now the pictures!

Crypt

Crypt is described as a navy scattered holo base, with teal to purple shifting shimmer and metallic gold flakies.  This will be available for $11.

This polish is really gorgeous and immediately caught my eye when I removed it from the bubble wrap.  It isn't textured, so it will remove easily as it only has flakes and no glitter.  I had no application issues, it applied very smooth and evenly.  Shown below is 2 coats and top coat.

 







Apparition

Apparition is described as a blue to cream colored thermal, with purple to peach to gold shifting shimmer and scattered holo pigment.  This will be available for $11

Apparition was a surprise love for me.  The shimmer is gorgeous and really pops in most lighting.  The thermal shift was also very noticeable, which I love!  Strong transitions always steal my heart.  I felt really girly wearing this.  The formula was great, I had no application issues.  My swatches show two coats, but if you have longer nails, with a very white nail line, you may want three.

 







Ghastly

Ghastly is described as a black to clear thermal with green to turquoise to indigo shifting pegasus pee, and pink to green shifting iridescent flakies (Nfu Oh type).  This will be available for $13.

Ghastly is amazing.  As soon as I unwrapped it I was in love.  The green with the pink shifty flakies are a truly gorgeous combination.  The green shimmer when the polish is in its warm state is just stunning.  And that transition! It's so dramatic, I love it! Am I gushing? I'm sorry but i'd say you definitely need this one in your collection! 

The application was great, I had zero issues.  I have 2 coats shown in my pictures plus top coat.










If you buy the trio, the set will come with a small jar of white ghosts. The first 25 will also receive glow in the dark star glitters. (both are solvent resistant).

Here is a look at them.



And here is some nail art I did using them.
