Happy Labor Day!  I've got a gorgeous Fall collection by Bellaluna Cosmetics to show you, and it's gonna make you want Autumn even more :)

Let's start with Autumn Woodlands:

Left is macro with shiny topcoat, right is with matte

Autumn Woodlands is a gorgeous pumpkin orange that subtly leans yellow, with gold flakies throughout.  Opaque in 1-2 coats, depending on how thick you apply it.

Next up is Frosted Eggplant:

Frosted Eggplant is a gorgeous deep purple jelly loaded with various flakies and glitters throughout.  This one is opaque in 2-3 coats.

Here we have Near Dark:

Two words: one-coater.  That's right, this is a one-coater charcoal grey/black polish with silver flecks throughout.  Perfection!!

This is Spanish Moss:

Spanish moss is a mossy, almost army green that leans grey at certain angles.  It has a brilliant gold shimmer throughout.  This one is opaque in 1-2 coats.

And lastly we have Sparkling Cranberry:

Sparkling Cranberry is a stunning cranberry red with muticolored flakies and a scattered holographic shimmer throughout - and guess what?  Another one-coater for me ;)  I'm really glad I swatched this one last, because I didn't take it off for days.  It's seriously quite a stunner!

This entire collection wowed me, from the beautiful crisp Autumn colors to the easy and smooth application of the polishes.  I love that most of them don't really require more than 2 coats to be opaque, too, and that they all dried in under five minutes.  This collection is definitely a PERFECT collection for Fall!!

This collection launched last night at midnight.  You can purchase the full set HERE and individual polishes either on the links above or HERE.  You can also follow Bellaluna's Facebook Page and Instagram for more swatch photos of this collection, as well as sneak peaks into future releases!   

Does this collection bring Fall to mind for you?  What do you think?

People used to joke about this before we moved down here, and I just thought they were being funny.  They, uh...they weren't.  It's absolutely true.

I'm still excited though, because while it may not feel like the Fall everyone else experiences, it is cooler than 100 effing degrees - I'll take it!  And I get to start decorating my house for Halloween soon!! :D

Speaking of Halloween, I have a polish to show you today that would be perfect for the holiday!!  This one is called "Creepy Niece" by MTK Polish, and it is awesome!!

As you can see from the pics, Creepy Niece is a light green-to-dark-olive thermal polish with a purple shimmer, and it also glows in the dark!!  Opaque in 3-4 coats (depending on how thick you apply), and it dries to a shiny finish.  I used a specialty black crackle topcoat by Barry M for the tips in this mani :)

Creepy Niece will only be available for the next few months - it will be retired by the end of the year. So now would be an excellent time to pick one up for yourself :D  You can purchase Creepy Niece HERE, and browse the store to check out the other awesome polish HERE.  You can also follow the brand's Facebook page and Instagram for updates on new polishes!

What do you think of this polish?  Does it remind you of a good Fall/Halloween polish, too? :)
