Elvira

Boy, was this a hard polish to photogrpah!

Hit the Bottle Polishes “Elvira” is inspired by the Mistress of the Dark herself – from September’s Vintage Halloween Polish Pickup. It’s a dark, dark, DARK shimmery blackened wine polish that looks black under most lights. In sunlight, however, is where Elvira shines. Ironic? Like a black fly in your chardonnay?

This is two coats of “Elvira” over Cuticula Mic Drop Base Coat in “Melt Down” and under Cuticula Limitless Top Coat in “Champagne Toast“.

I wonder if I can talk the family into watching Elvira, Mistress of the Dark tonight?

Polish Pickup September 2024 – Vintage Halloween

Halloween, Halloween…my favorite holiday! I love Halloween so much that I made it my wedding anniversary. This September’s Polish Pickup theme is “Vintage Halloween”, and the polishes did not disappoint. I wanted them all, but I tried to be selective and only select polishes that were inspired by things I really love, as well as not obvious dupes for others in my collection…

Cadillacquer “The Evil Dead” ($14) is inspired by…DUH…The Evil Dead.

Cupcake Polish “Carrie” ($13.50) is likewise inspired by Carrie.

Hit the Bottle Polishes “Elvira” ($9.50) is inspired by the Mistress of the Dark herself…Elvira.

Last, but not least, Cuticula Limitless Top Coat in “Zombie Juice” ($10) is inspired by…the juice that comes out of zombies? Unfortunately, the bottle I received seems to have come from a bad batch – it doesn’t dry. I’ve reached out to Cuticula directly for a resolution…hoping for a replacement bottle soon!

I am so excited about trying ALL of these polishes!
