Dollish Polish 1,2, Freddy's Coming For You

     Today, I have 1, 2, Freddy's Coming For You from Dollish Polish's Halloween Frights collection to show you. 1, 2, Freddy's Coming For You is a Green, black and burgundy glitter topper in a clear base. As soon as I saw the first swatches of this polish I knew I had to have it. This polish is based on Freddy Kruger's striped sweater from A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. As some of you may know I am a HUGE Freddy Kruger fan, and have been since I was a kid (I don't include the abortion of a remake in the Nightmare franchise!!!! Robert Englund only thank you! Freddy = Robert England, Freddy ≠ Jackie Earle Haley end of story. Don't go there with me or you tempt full on nerd rage.). I guess I'm preternaturally attracted to sarcastic "bag guys," (or so it would seem) and that all started with Freddy. But I digress, I knew this polish had to be mine as soon as I saw it. So without further ado, here is 1, 2, Freddy's Coming For You:

     For these pictures I used two coats of 1, 2, Freddy's Coming For You over two coats of OPI My Vampire Is Buff topped with a heavy layer of top coat. Polish applied easily and dried quickly. I only needed to dab on the first layer and the second went on like normal polish. Over all I adore it. Pretty polish, based on one of my favorite baddies and I'm in nail and movie nerd heaven. Cudos for Dollish Polish for making this lovely lady for us. What do guys think? Are you loving it? Are you guys as big a Freddy fan as I am? Or am I just a weirdo? Talk to me below. Anyway, that's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished. 
XOXO

China Glaze Fang-Tastic

     Today I have Fang-Tastic from China Glaze's Monsters Ball collection to show you guys. Fang-Tastic is a pink, purple, blue, and teal glitter topper in a clear base. now I know this one was supposed to be a Halloween color...but the colors just seem more spring to me so I waited to swatch it until spring. Can we just take a moment and talk about the name please: Fang-Tastic. I love it! It's the perfect descriptor for what all vamps should be (But seriously, fang-less vampires need to GTFO of my favorite genre, they are faeries with oral fetishes not vampires!). The name also sounds straight out of a Kresley Cole book, or Buffy. The name of this polish is both sarcastic, and paranormal (both things I adore beyond measure) so of course I had to have it. Also it doesn't hurt that it's glitter. I love glitter, and I know all my Valkyrie's love glitter too. So without further ado here's Fang-Tastic:

     In these pictures I used two coats of Fang-Tastic over two coats of OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons followed by a heavy layer of top coat. This polish did have to be dabbed on and had an average dry time. But the glitter/sparkle/Valkyrie payoff was HUGE. I just love it. This one's a keeper. Anyway that's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.

OPI Muppets World Tour

     Today, I have Muppets World Tour from OPI's Muppets Most Wanted collection to show you guys. Muppets World Tour is a silver (holographic), white (matte), pink (metallic), blue (metallic), and rose gold (metallic), glitter topper in a clear base. This polish is going to blow your Valkyrie minds. It's that sparkly. So you've been warned. Now buckle up, because here she is in all her glittery, sparkly glory:

     In these pictures I use one coat of Muppets World Tour over two coats of OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons, followed with a very heavy layer of topcoat. This polish applied easily and dried quickly. That said it's a very textured, rough glitter polish, so you are going to want a very thick layer of top coat (Maybe two coats) on top of this. I know a lot of people have been complaining about the texture on this glitter but it's not a texture polish, it's certainly not marked as one at any rate. It just seems like a really chunky glitter that eats top coat for dinner (Think China Glaze Glistening Snow kind of eat's topcoat alive glitter). I used Seche Vite (but any thick top coat should do) and went heavy on it. So the polish was great for me with no texture showing. It had a long wear time and came off easily. So, I'm not sure what others are having such a problem with. It's a chunky glitter, all chunky glitter will eat up topcoat so I always go heavy (on top coat) and didn't have a problem. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this swatch. That's all I have for you guys today. So until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.
XOXO
