Chunky Nail Polish : Halloween Glitters

Smile! Group Photo! : )
 A sky blue polish full of sky blue and silver glitter, with silver hexagonal glitter. The application was smooth. I used three thin coats for the swatches. The finish is gritty and a thick topcoat would help.

All of the polishes had this label, or this label underneath a label, that read Pumpkin Nail Enamel.

A black creme polish with silver glitter, and silver hexagonal glitter. The application was smooth an it was opaque in two coats. I used three coats in the above swatches. The finish was smoother than the above blue glitter polish. 

An orange and black bar glitter in a clear base. The bar glitter was fairly sparse. I used three coats to get enough bar glitter to my liking, over a white polish for contrast.

An iridescent hexagonal glitter, with silver moon glitters in a clear/gray base. Unfortunately, as with many cute chunky glitters, the moons and glitter are very hard to get to with the brush. I managed to get one moon per nail. Actually the effect is cute, and the finish is satin.

All of the brushes were surprisingly good, and made for easy application. There were bins full of all different colors of glitters, and glow in the dark polishes. I found these polishes at Meijer in the seasonal section for a retail price of $2.49 each.

Fun Halloween Flakie Find

I found this flakie polish in the seasonal section of Meijer Grocery store. The collection also had bar glitters, moon glitters, circle glitters, glow in the dark glitters, and more.







This polish doesn't have a name included, the sticker on the bottom reads Chunky Nail, but so did most of the other glitters in the collection I purchased. The base is a sheer purple jelly, and the swatches are two coats over a purple creme polish. The base contains flakie and regular glitter that has a purple, blue, and teal shift! The flakie glitter is also iridescent. The polish was slightly thick and the flakie glitter was sparse with the first coat. The second coat seemed to add plenty of flakies. To top it all off, the retail price is only $2.49.
