I am sure you have seen plenty of swatches of these cute polishes. But I had to at least cover one of the adorably bottled polishes here. Black Magic is a black cream polish with orange and silver glitter. The brush wasn't the best but it applied fine. The swatches are two coats. These polishes retail for $2.99 at drugstores, and I have also seen them at Meijer.

Thanks for looking!

Nubar Antiquity Silver

Three Coats Indoor Lighting

Three Coats Indoor Lighting

One coat over black Flash

One coat over black Indoor Lighting

Nubar Antiquity Silver is a silver glitter with small silver flakie glitter packed in a clear base. The first two swatches are three coats. It is sheer with three coats but pretty if you like to wear sheer polish, or a french manicure. The bottom swatches are one coat over a black cream polish. The application and finish of this glitter polish is smooth. The retail price is $7.49.

Kleancolor Golden Nightmare

Kleancolor Golden Nightmare is an opaque black cream with golden glitter. This color is so pretty. There are small round, and slightly larger irregular gold glitter that makes it look almost like a flakie. The swatches are only one coat and the application formula and brush were great. The think the bottle is cute too. The finish has a slightly gritty feel so a topcoat would make it completely smooth. Kleancolor prices vary depending on where you find them starting from $1.00 to $3.99.

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.

Halloween Blood Splatter Manicure 2 : Konad

I have had my Konad kit for a few months but this was my first time using it. I was a little intimidated by the process but it is as easy as everyone says it is and I am hooked.  I want to do another Konad manicure already. This splatter manicure is much cleaner and neater looking that the straw method. It just depends on the look you are going for. This is definitely a friendlier prettier version. I used Konad plate M21. I mixed a tiny amount of Konad Black special polish mixed with Zoya Sooki to create the blood splatter color. I used this over Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White Out. I put my topcoat on a little early but a little smear with a bloody look is alright. This was a fun easy manicure that can be done in any variety of colors.
