Hi Everyone! I love this time of year, don't you? Cool mornings, football, comfort food, snuggling, I just love Fall. And of course, Halloween. It was always one of my favorites. Growing up, my father made a huge deal out of Halloween by turning our house and yard into a haunted house (topped only by his Christmas decorations). And I can't forget the candy! I wish I could, but, yum- chocolate! Everywhere!
So I decided it was time for some Halloween nails. Orly has three of their Flash-Glam FX polishes devoted to Halloween: Monster Mash (a green/holo glitter), Right Amount of Evil (an orange/holo glitter) and R.I.P. I bought R.I.P. It's a black jelly polish with hexagon and micro orange glitter. I tried it alone but after three coats it still wasn't opaque and I wasn't real happy with the look. So I layered two coats of it over two coats (although only one coat would work) of China Glaze's Liquid Leather (black polish).
I was actually surprised by R.I.P. The formula was how I expected it to be, thick, but not too thick. It also had a great distribution of glitter. I didn't have to place any of the glitter, it covered the nails perfectly. But it had an almost matte finish. It also has a rather rough finish. I strongly recommend using a good top coat. It took two coats of my favorite to smooth it out. But I loved the final look. It's so pretty, in an understated way. At least in my glitter-obsessed-don't-understand-the-word-gaudy, it is subtle. This polish would also look fabulous with a matte finish.
So my bottom line- I love it! And it definitely says Halloween! Happy Polishing!!
