Morgan Taylor Trick 'r Treats

Morning lovelies!  I'm really in the groove with Halloween posts.  I think it's because I'm having fun typing these up (or swatching them) while watching scary movies.  Today was a "rest" day so I've done nothing both both of those things until I need to head over to the school for my library volunteer shift.  So today I have the super cutesy Morgan Taylor Trick 'r Treats collection.  I really like these mini kits because they are paired well and are great for the holiday.  This 4-piece mini pack is available now for $15.  Ok, let's jump in and see what they look like.

Native War Paints; Constable, Walking Lantern & No Sanctuary

Happy Sunday!  Did you all make it through Halloween?  Hopefully no candy or adult beverage hangovers were in your cards today.  I'm pretty stoked at the stash we've got going on over here because I totally plan to sneak my fair share of pieces.  Well now that my favorite holiday has passed we can move on to other things....like The Walking Dead!  Did you guys watch last week?!?!  UGH!  I held my breath for the entire hour (yes I'm amazing and can hold my breath that long).  So I figured it was appropriate to share a few polishes I picked up from Native War Paints from the No Sanctuary Collection since TWD is on tonight!  No Sanctuary is a 6-piece collection and all the colors are gorgeous!  I had a hard time just picking a couple!  And this was my first time trying out Native War Paints...I was very please and will definitely be going back for more!  You can pick up the whole No Sanctuary Collection for $52 or individual bottles for $8.50-$9.50 each.  So let's jump in and check out these lovely polishes.

Up first is Constable.  It's a "taupe holographic polish filled with red flakies."  This color is gorgeous! I love the holo shimmers and red flakies in there!  The formula was pretty sheer but it built up well in 3-4 coats (I can't recall exactly which I used).  Application was easy peasy.  I finished with a layer of topcoat.

Had to show Constable with my Rick key chain!

This is Walking Lantern.  It's a "pale green shimmer polish with pale green and red flakies that glow red in the dark."  It actually seems more like white polish to me but whatever it is it's very subtle and pretty.  Definitely an ethereal look.  Walking Lantern is very sheer.  I used 4 coats and still have visible nail line.  I also found that it applied a bit patchy.  On top of that the glow was super hard to get going.  I charged the polish for a good 5 minutes and only got the dimes of glow.  but the red does look pretty darn cool, just wish it were brighter.  So Walking Lantern was  bit of a miss for me.

As much as I loved Constable (hello it's such a gorgeous color and finish), No Sanctuary is the one that got my heart beating faster.  This beauty is a "black holographic polish packed with red shimmer along with a  scattering of red micro glitter." That red shimmer against the black - oh mama, you know what I like!  No Sanctuary had a perfect formula that was super easy to apply.  2 coats for full coverage with all that rich color!  I finished with a layer of topcoat.

This is All White Now, a basic white creme.  A total necessity for any collection.  All White Now is very stark and clean.  I found it a bit streaky but it even out in 3 coats.  I finished with a layer of topcoat.  

Glow In The Dark Topcoat is just that - a glow in the dark topcoat.  I used 1 coat over All White Now.  It applied easily and you can wear it over any color.

I was walking through my dim kitchen and look at how the bottle is already glowing!  It barely had any direct light to charge it!  

And here's the Glow In the Dark Topcoat in action!  Very bright but a little streaky.  I bet if you used 2 coats that would be all evened out.  Again this polish took very little light to get a strong charge and a really great glow!  

Pretty Woman is a super classic red creme.  It's a timeless color with a fabulous formula.  Creamy and buttery.  I love me a red like this and this didn't disappoint.  I used 2 coats and finished with a layer of topcoat.  

And last but not least is Little Black Dress.  This is a totally awesome 1-coat black creme.  Super shiny and fabulous!  I topped this with a layer of topcoat.  

Sweet Heart Polish & The Lady Varnishes Grim Grinning Ghosts Duo

Up first I have Welcome, Foolish Mortals by The Lady Varnishes.  This is a murky, minty green full of iridescent glitters in several sizes.  Welcome, Foolish Mortals is a sheer crelly polish but it builds up easily in a few coats.  I'd suggest letting each layer dry fully before adding the next.  You know something else?  Welcome, Foolish Mortals glows in the dark!!  And the glow is very bright and takes just a little light to get a good charge.  I used 3 coats of Welcome, Foolish Mortals and 1 layer of topcoat.

Hurry Ba-ack.  And don't forget your Death Certificate.

The other part of the duo is Sweet Heart Polish Hurry Ba-ack.  This is a black jelly polish full of green, purple and blue hexs in a couple different sizes.  There's also a nice dose of holo shimmer for a sparkly touch.  I absolutely love this color.  It's a perfect polish for October and trips to Disneyland!  The formula and application of Hurry Ba-ack were both stellar.  I used 3 coats of Hurry Ba-ack for full coverage and finished with a layer of topcoat.
