Hi, my darlings! Is it as hot where you are as it is in New York City? It's almost September and it's over 90 degrees today!! I can't believe it!! Fall is my favorite time of year and I'm impatient to have it start already!
Now, speaking of Fall, I know Halloween is just a short 6 weeks away and many of you LOVE Halloween! Me? I'm not a huge, huge fan of it but I always bust out my sexy red dress and devil's horns whenever the opportunity arises! =P
Halloween also means new collections from our favorite indie makers and today I have the entire collection from Northern Star Polish up for review! This collection will be released...
Before I show you actual swatches, here's a pic of Northern Star's new packaging! I know Kristin was super excited about the new boxes so I had to show them to you all too! Isn't it cute?? =)
First up, I have for you Bella Morte--a gorgeous blood-red jelly polish with black flakies and matte red glitter. The application on this was perfect, smooth and even and I used 3 coats for the swatches below, topped with 1 coat of G&G's HK Girl. Being a jelly, it is slightly sheer so generous coats or layering is advisable--however, the dry time between coats was great! Isn't this a perfect polish for the aspiring vampire on Halloween? =)

Next, I have another jelly polish for you--Macabre Delight is a blurple jelly polish with neon green and purple glitter in various shapes and sizes. The application on this, again, was great--no fishing for glitter! I used 4 coats for the swatches below, topped with 1 coat of G&G's HK Girl This polish is really quite sheer and next time, I'm definitely gonna layer it over a dark purple creme. I love, love the hint of shimmer that runs through this polish!

Third from this collection is my favorite! Phantasmagoric is a beautiful teal jelly with a pink-violet-blue color shift! The application and formula for this was fabulous and I used 3 coats for the swatches below, except for my pinky finger where I used 1 coat over 2 coats of Revlon Royal. I absolutely love the way this looks and I bet it would look great layered over other cremes too!

Next up, I have for you Twisted Treat-- a black creme with a coppery-orange shimmer. No complaints about the application and this is just 2 coats in the swatches below! This showed almost a rich dark chocolate brown on me and it's super pretty!

Last but definitely not the least, I have Pumpkinlicious, a clear glitter topcoat with burnt orange, gold and green glitters that's being re-released to complete this collection. I had no issues with this and the glitters came out easily for me! I used 1 generous coat over Twisted Treat on all my nails, except for the ring finger where I used 2 generous coats. Isn't this just perfect for Fall?
With flash!
So there you have it--the entire Halloween collection from Northern Star polish! This collection will be released on Sunday, September 15th at noon CST and you can find them HERE for the price of $8.50 for a full-size, 0.5 oz bottle or $5.50 for a fairly large 0.3 oz mini bottle!
