China Glaze Cross Iron





China Glaze Cross Iron is a very metallic pumpkin orange polish. I found it on the China Glaze Halloween display at Sally Beauty Supply. The application was smooth.  The finish as with most metallic polishes is slightly streaky. I used two coats for opaque coverage. It is a good orange polish for the fall season. I keep buying orange polishes for some reason. I haven't found the perfect one for me yet so the search continues. Cross Iron retails for $5.99.

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.
