NOTD: China Glaze Roguish Red topped with Glitter Goblin

China Glaze Roguish Red (3 coats)
topped with China Glaze Glitter Goblin (2 coats)

Both Roguish Red and Glitter Goblin are from China Glaze's Wicked Collection for Halloween 2012. I thought that Glitter Goblin would look great over Roguish Red, and it did! Note that it's a very hungry glitter- I did two coats of Gelous to help smooth it out.

I tried quite hard, but wasn't able to capture fully the holo glitter. It is so pretty and glows when the light hits it just right.

China Glaze Roguish Red

Roguish Red is from China Glaze's Wicked Collection for Halloween 2012. I picked up a set of four from the collection at Sally's recently, and tried this one after Bizarre Blurple. My brush was a bit wonky, but it didn't really cause too much of a problem. This shade applied nicely and was almost opaque at 2 coats, but I added a third to cover the visible nail line. It leans a bit orange on me.

Swatches: Halloween Sally Hansen Real Nail Polish Strips

Have you seen the new 2012 Halloween prints for the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips? They are SO cute! Today I've got two of the prints to show you and will have the other two I have to show you in the next few days.

 Batty For You

How Corny

I always get better results and find the lighter background prints to be easiest to apply, so How Corny is my favorite of the two shown above. I liked Batty For You as well, but the darker background prints require a little more patience since it really shows if you don't get perfect application on the tips. I think I did a good job, but I spent a bit more time with Batty For You than I did with How Corny. Both are so fun and I got quite a few "How cute!" comments when people saw my nails.
