Hit Polish: Sunflowers

"There is no blue without yellow and without orange." -- Vincent Van Gogh

This was my answer in a recent naming contest held by Hit Polish on her facebook page.
She chose three winners, and I happened to be one of them!


Sunflowers has light blue, yellow and orange matte glitters in squares and hexes as well as a coppery orange micro glitter.


It was a breeze to apply, no dabbing or reswiping or digging in the bottle.


I wore one coat of Sunflowers over Loreal's Brownie Points, which is a stunning dark chocolately brown.




The glitter is fairly flat so without topcoat its surprisingly smoother than most glitter polishes. I went ahead and topped it with HKG though, because I like a glassy look!



Sunflowers is available on November 1st at the Hit Polish shop on Etsy.

What's your favorite Hit Polish?

Hallowhimsies!

Pam at Whimsical Ideas has created an awesome trio for Halloween that she calls Hallowhimsies and sent it to me for free to review.


Two coats each, no undies.


I've already posted about Wicked, so it won't be included in this post.

Both Boo! and Once Upon A Time needed undies, so I decided to start with My Pointe Exactly! from OPI. This is three to four coats.


The first whimsy is Boo!

It looks like a ghost in a bottle, doesn't it? It flashes a coppery/reddish shimmer which looks slightly different depending on the lighting and what its layered over.

I tried Boo! over a few different colors and snapped a photo to share. From top to bottom is Essie She's Picture Perfect, WnW Black Creme, and Revlon Royal.


And finally here it is over the OPI MPE!


Once Upon a Time is a pretty pastel mix of matte green and purple hexes with tiny silver glitter.


I added it on top of Boo!


Then added Hard Candy's matte top coat for this photo.


I think Pam has created a beautiful collection for Halloween and cannot wait to see what she has in store for Christmas!

Revlon: Spooky Skull

Spooky Skull is a very sheer white polish with a hidden barely pink shimmer. I wore this over two coats of Revlon Powder Puff.



Afterward I topped it with more... from Different Dimension.

See my previous entry for this and three other Different Dimension polishes.
