PR Sample

Things are getting creepy and sweet for the August Little Box of Horrors! The theme this month is Halloween Treats, and Victorian Varnish delivered two spooky fun polishes inspired by trick or treat snacks: EYE SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE and SAY AAHHH!.

Both of these shades are capped at just 70 bottles each, so you’ll want to move fast when the shop opens! The August LBH pre-order runs from August 22nd through August 30th. Let's jump right into the swatches!




EYE SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE - A clear base loaded with orange/red/copper aurora shimmer and assorted glitters. Inspired by colorful cookies with candy eyeballs.




SAY AAHHH! (Magnetic) - A golden delicious base with a green-gold leaning Granny Smith magnetic effect, loaded with pink/red diamond sparkle. Inspired by an apple critter with a candy eyeball and strawberry tongue.




All of my swatches are shown in two thick coats with topcoat and had no formula issues unless otherwise stated. All photography uses a neutral color temperature bulb with white bounce card. My nails are natural with no enhancements and no blurring/cream base, I have a fairly prominent VNL.

Never miss a swatch!

A stunning red-violet copper magnetic. When magnetized, it reveals a deep dark purple base loaded with scattered holo and holo flakies.
The lighting and camera truly makes this polish look totally different! I used a cool magnet combo to get a halo and a glass bead on the middle two nails. See how I did it in the video below!

Little Box of Horrors: April 2026

PR Sample

I’ve been spending some quality time with this beauty from Victorian Varnish lately. Sometimes a polish is so complex that you just have to wear it for a few days to really appreciate the depth. I finally have the full swatch gallery ready for this stunning gift from VV! For those that ordered it, I know the wait for shipping can feel like forever, so hopefully these photos give you a little excitement for your upcoming mail day. It is definitely worth the wait. Polish name checks out, it is otherworldy!

This shade was a limited release at Little Box of Horrors and is currently sold out, but keep an eye on VV's site and socials for similar magical finishes!

Another Dimension - dark smoky blue base with silvery blue line once magnetized reveals a teal/aqua/green shimmer. Very shifty and shimmery!
