A Night in the Asylum
The end of Daylight Savings Time is giving my website Seasonal Affective Disorder. I don’t personally require sunlight to function, but I prefer to take my nail pictures in natural lighting…but my bathroom will have to do.
What do you think of Delush Polish “A Night in the Asylum”? This picture doesn’t do it justice. It’s an inky midnight jelly with teal/turquoise glitters and holographic dots. I used 3 thin coats and I did have to do a tiny bit of fishing to get the large dots, but it wasn’t too hard.
I used the Sinful Colors Base Coat – this stuff is a bitch to remove – I don’t need Orly Bonder’s help. I used Sally Hansen Diamond Flash for the top coat. “A Night in the Asylum” is fairly smooth, but I’m going to try 2 coats next time.
The Supreme
So, since Daylight Savings Time ended, it’s dark when I get home and I have had to get creative to find good enough light to take nail pictures. My husband switched all of the bulbs to LED, which saves money…but LED lights SUCK for pictures. I get so-so results in my bathroom, but this time I used my son’s desk lamp. It’s better, but not ideal. Nothing beats sunlight, but I guess I’m screwed until March.
This is Delush Polish “The Supreme” from the “Scream Supreme Collection”, inspired by American Horror Story. It’s a blood red jelly, filled with different sizes of red glitter. The red is so deep that’s hard to see all the glitter. Orly Bonder for the base coat and I used Sally Hansen Diamond Flash for the top coat…except for my ring finger. I hadn’t tried out Zoya Matte Velvet Top Coat yet and OH MY GAWD. I love it so much more on this polish than the shiny shiny. It dries super quick, too – almost like a quick dry!
Only three more Delushies to try!
Delush Polish – The Scream Supreme Collection
…and now I delve into the world of Indie Polish…there’s no going back now.*
Indie polish is big on Instagram and I follow quite a few of them, but Delush Polish is the first one that caught my eye enough (the polish “Misty Day” specifically) to make me say, “I have to go online and buy these NOW.” I love that there are creative people out there with the vision and creativity to make a product that goes beyond what’s available in stores…that being said, most Indies ain’t cheap. Delush Polish is actually pretty affordable – $8.95 each – or about as much as OPI, essie, etc. The mini bottles are only $4 – I sprang for the whole set of 7 and got an even sweeter deal with a 15% off code from Instagram. Buy the set HERE.
“The Scream Supreme Collection” is inspired by the show, American Horror Story and there are polishes inspired by every season. The Collection includes (from left to right): “Freak Show Spectacle”, “Bitchcraft”, “A Night in the Asylum”, “Rubberman”, “The Supreme”, “Murder House” and the prettiest – “Misty Day”.
I’ll be starting with “Bitchcraft” tonight!
