BOO! Is anyone else super excited for Halloween? I can't believe it's right around the corner! I have so many nail art ideas in my head but haven't had time to do any of them. Hopefully I can squeeze a couple in before the big day! But, for today, I have a soon-to-be-released Halloween Quad from Darling Diva Polish to share with you!
This post is not one I am 100% happy with for a few reasons. It actually ended up turning into a comedy of errors. I was partially done swatching these when my camera decided to die a very sudden death. Not the battery, the actual camera. So I had to borrow a camera - a camera I don't know and is nothing like mine. In the meantime my problem nail decided to break. Rather than chopping them all super short, I rounded them a bit. So not only were the pics of A+ Fang Banger taken with a foreign camera, my nails also look different. I apologize for this, but it was all out of my control. I've done the best I could with what I had to work with. The polishes are gorgeous and I hope you can see them clearly in my photos! I used one coat of Darling Diva Pryzmatic Topcoat in all photos.

Pumpkin Spiced Nightshade - I'm going to start with my favorite from the collection, because I can! The name and color/finish of this polish couldn't be a better match! It is exactly the color I think of when I think "pumpkin spice" and the multichrome flakes and shimmer are absolutely amazing! It is a little on the sheer side to allow those flakes to shine through so I needed 3 coats for opacity. The formula is smooth and easy!

Living Dead Girl - I hope I look this good if I'm ever a living dead girl. ;) Gorgeous blue-toned light purple with shimmer and a smattering of what I believe are translucent micro-flakes. This one was more of a jelly and I used 4 thin coats to achieve opacity. You could probably stop at 3, but I prefer thinner coats with jellies.

Sharp Dressed Boogeyman - The name of this one cracked me up! I love this shade of charcoal grey - add in holo and flakes and it has so much sparkle and depth! But, it also has a purple shift to it as well! Formula was smooth and creamy. It was opaque in 2 coats! I apologize for not having sunlight photos of this one. It was during my shade pics that my camera died and then I lost my sunlight as well. It is definitely a linear holo, which you can see in my artificial lighting pics (but does show up better in person).

A+ Fang Banger - This one made me laugh too! A+ Fang Banger is aptly named because it is a sexy, vampy red and I could see all the vamps wearing this for a night on the town. It is a deep red full of shimmer that seems to glow from inside! I used 3 coats of this one and had no issues with application.
