b.i.t.c.h. by Jaclyn: Halloween Collection


I have the honor of being allowed to help announce a re-brand and the Halloween Collection at the same time! :D
Please meet - b.i.t.c.h by Jaclyn - Bold, Intelligent, Trendsetting, Chic, Haute
(formerly Pretty Bitch Polish)
Isn't that a creative name and abbreviation!? I love it and I adore her new logo so much I've superimposed it over the original logo on the bottle. I'm really excited to see how the new bottles will actually look!

The Halloween collection is gorgeous and I have a favorite of the bunch! Believe it or not, it's not either of the purple shades (although they are rather gorgeous). Read on if you want to know!
Sweet Spot is a pretty shade of violet purple packed with purple micro flakies and holographic sparkle throughout. I wore two coats and topcoat for the photos. The formula was nice and easy to apply.

Here it is! This is my favorite of the collection! It's called Sucker which is the perfect name for such a juicy vampy color! Wouldn't you agree? It has a deliciously darkened linear holo effect which adds such depth and character. Can you believe this is only one coat?! I wouldn't either if I hadn't applied it myself! Total fave, the "must have, if you can only have one" color.

Candy Man is a soft lime green shade with subtle holo and heaps of green micro flakies. I wore three coats of this stunner and added topcoat for extra shine!

In the Sack is a dotty little b.i.t.c.h. glitter topper! It has tiny purple and orange dot glitters, purple and orange hex glitter, black triangles, squares, and silver holo hexes all in a clear base. I wore one coat over Sweet Spot.

Bitch and Moan features teeeeeeny tiny stars, hearts, moons and who knows what other shapes you might find! It's a different glitter combo with every dip of the brush! One of the tiny stars shows up really well in the macro shot. Aren't they cute? There are some ginormous dark purple square glitters which have curved a little, but it's so worth having them in the bottle! I wore one coat over Sucker and topped with Gelous then top coat. I did need to dip the brush a few times to get the shaped glitter, but I don't mind that cause I love shapes!

How Many Licks is something I've always wondered about after seeing the Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop commercials and I smile every time I read that name on the bottle! This glitter topper is made of orange, yellow, black and holo silver glitters. Hidden among these is big raspberry colored dot glitters! I think those might represent the centers of a Tootsie pop in this polish. How fun is that? I wore two coats with Gelous and Top Coat. I did some fishing to get more of the shaped glitters for this mani since I love the shapes so much.

Witch Bitch has a spooky cauldron colored base with magical shifting purple to green pigment and holographic pigment sprinkled throughout. The purple shift is more prominent whereas the green is a little subtle but shows when viewing the nail from an angle. I wore two coats of this magical nail potion for the photos below.

A Cheap Trick might be played on a witch and so I was compelled to wear this combo! It goes really well together especially where the full moons meet the witch! This polish has dark moons too and colorful triangle candies sprinkled among other orange wrapped candies. I wore two coats of Cheap Trick and added a few extra dabs here and there for the photos below.

Skeleton In The Closet isn't just a silver holo. This bone chilling polish is packed with iridescent and silver metallic flecks too! It's quite unique in the realm of silvers, definitely one to consider having! I wore two coats and topcoat for this look and the formula was perfection.
The holographic effect proved difficult to capture on camera because this polish is very light reflective. The holo is there, I promise!

Treat Me is the last polish, but certainly not the least! It's a spicy pumpkin color doused with pink shifting flakies! How deliciously Halloween is this?! I wore three coats with topcoat for these photos.

Cupcake Polish: October Sweet Addictions Box


Cupcake's October Sweet Addictions box theme is Think Pink! The featured brands are Smitten Polish and Bear Pawlish, and its host Sara's, Cupcake Polish. Also included in the box is a pretty pink heart shaped pendant which has a chocolately brown backside. It was carefully handmade by Sara's mom and packed in it's own coordinating box.

Cupcake Polish - Fight Like a Girl is a vibrant raspberry holo with holo glitter sprinkled throughout. I am really loving this shade of pink and it's super sparkly rainbow goodness! Two coats and gelous then topcoat and there's still a bit of texture poking around, this can be seen in the macro shot. The formula was a bit thick so I added a few drops of thinner for a more fluid application.

Bear Pawlish - Paws for Ta-Tas is a very pretty nearly neon bubblegum pink holo. Something about this shade makes me feel young and feminine, but with a little bit of a punch because there's just something bright and vibrant about this color! Three thin coats with topcoat to cover vnl. Two thicker coats may also work well.

Smitten - In October, We Wear Pink is a neon pink jelly packed with holo microglitters.
COLOR DISCLAIMER!
My camera does not photograph neons well, especially pink ones so this is as close as I could get - but this puppy is a bright neon pink with tons of holo sparkle! My camera wanted to shoot this more purpley because it was catching the purple holo in the microglitters! I don't feel like I've done this one justice, it's so much better in person! I wore two easy coats and topcoat. The application was smooth as butter and there was very little to no texture before topcoat. No one does a microglitter quite like Smitten!
