Wet n Wild has some new (Halloween?) colors out in a display called Coloricon at drugstores now. I believe there are eight colors, all in mini bottles. I picked up a few to show you today.

Unimpressed: Right off the bat I have to say these really disappointed me after I applied them. They looked really cool in the bottles, all dark, shimmery and spooky, but the formula was really pretty sucky on two of the four I got, and the colors not so unique.

Let’s start with the good.

Mystic Blue

Mystic Blue is a deep navy blue with light blue shimmer. Pretty yes. Unique, perhaps not. The formula on this was decent. It was thick and opaque in two coats, and I had no patchy spots or drag or anything.

It’s November!

So Halloween 2009 is over, and now we are all looking forward to Thanksgiving. Then next…I don’t even want to think about it yet.

I wound up not dressing up this year, just wasn’t feelin’ it at the time. However, The Hubbie (also soon to be known as _____.), a friend, my step-daughter, and her friend all dressed up and made the garage quite the fright fest!

We have been doing up the front yard area for the last three years, and every year its grown. This year we did up half the garage. Next year, who knows! People come by now because they know we have the scariest stuff in the neighborhood, and this year people were even stopping and taking pics! We got about between 100-125 kids this year. People actually drive to our neighborhood to trick or treat from other areas because our area rocks.

Now remember, I couldn’t get good pics actually showing how creepy it was in the dark. We had a black light on, a red light on and a fog machine. Also super creepy music blaring. No one moved a muscle, people had to approach them at their own risk…

Happy Friday!

One day until Halloween! I am excited about our “haunted garage” we’re doing this year. I haven’t yet done a trial run of my makeup though, so I’m kinda nervous it’s going to turn out like crap. Oh well, at least it will be dark

Today I’ve got the Sinful Colors Halloween collection for 2009. Well I have all except the basic black one, because we all know what black looks like by now.

I have only reviewed two Sinful Colors polishes in the past because I had a horrible experience once. About a year ago I tried out the San Francisco color, and used CND’s Stickey base coat and then either Seche Vite or Poshe top coat. The polish turned sticky, weird, and never, ever dried! I mean not at all. It was so bizarre! That combo did not work, so I never really tried any of their stuff since then. But I saw these, and had to get ‘em. Peep ‘em out!

Let Me Go

Let Me Go is a very pale blue/pink/lavender/green opalescent pearl polish. I thought this was going to be super, duper cool when I saw it in the bottle, but it’ so sheer it’s just kinda meh for me. This was three coats.

Good morning! Halloween is only two days away, do you know what you will be yet?

Milani released a collection for Halloween this year called Black Magic. It’s six super cool glittery colors, but sadly, I only have five. I hunted down the 6th a few places, but no one had it. So I am missing Whimsical (a blackened purple glitter) in this review, sorry!

This is my first ever experience with Milani, and I am actually very pleased with the formula. These are pretty thin and watery, but build up nicely after three coats. Even though they are thin, they don’t run all over, so where you put them is where they stay. Nothing worse than runny polish, argh!

I think I always stayed away from Milani in the past because the bottles, in my opinion, are hideous. They are soooo early 80′s to me with the gold lettering and the font, and I am normally very drawn to aesthetically pleasing packaging. BUT these colors were so cool looking I got them anyway, and I’m happy. Check them out.

Spellbinding

Spellbinding is a black with red glitter. I love black with red glitter and this is one of the best ones I’ve seen recently.

Evening folks!

I need your help in deciding which color combo I should wear for Halloween on my nails. I am gong as a Gothic vampire. My costume is a medium red velvet dress with attached hood. My hair will be black and straight, and my makeup will be mostly black/white/red. I came up with a few different black/red mani combos to choose from. Let me know what you think!

I included pics in the poll (when you click on detail you can see them) but since they look small and slightly distorted, I also included them in this post.
