She Lived in a Swamp is a delightful mix of grass and lime green glitters in hexes, squares, and bars (the small hexes are holo!), green microglitter, and in my version, all in a green-tinted base (the 2012 version has a clear base, I believe). I used it over Milani Hi-Tech, which is probably in my top 5 favorite polishes ever, a lovely lime green holo.

Very Pretty Vampire just kills me with its... prettiness and vampiness :P It is full of burgundy, red, and black squares and hexes in multiple sizes, with some black and red microglitter. I have the 2012 version of this one, which has a clear base, while I think the old one did not. I wanted to wear it a little different than I usually see, so I did a jelly sandwich with Zoya Katherine, which is a deep plum jelly from the Fall 2012 Gloss Collection. Super amazing, super vampy!

Gotta Love Brains has pink, blue, purple, and white hexes and squares, and the occasional holo bar and giant silver hex, all mixed up in a milky gray base. Often people layer this one but I chose to do it all by itself... which in hindsight might not have been the best. It kind of ended up lumpy looking, and the base covered up a lot of glitter. I guess brains aren't the prettiest things ever, but... :) I think if I wore it again I might try to layer it over another gray and see what happens.

Must confess I am missing non-Halloween polish... even though it definitely is fun, trying to cram it all in before Halloween is tiring, but of course I should have planned better so oh well :) More tomorrow, a week to go!
You can find Lynnderella polishes at her eBay store~
Have a great day! ♥
Love the spooky theme.
