Hello Lovelies! Happy Wednesday! I'm still working on swatches and trying to catch up. Now that nothing is going wrong, it actually feels like I'm getting somewhere!

Wednesday also means Mish Mash Challenge day, but before I get to posting my challenge mani, I wanted to share an awesome Halloween polish with you all.

I know...Halloween already? This year has been the worst year on record for me, but at the same time it has flown by. Not that I'm complaining! I live for the Holiday Season and Halloween is the start of it all in my house. In fact, I usually put the Xmas tree up the day after Halloween. Halloween also means awesome new Indie polishes! Woohoo!!!! I'm seeing so many awesome collections popping up - my wallet is already crying. One of the most anticipated for me was Love, Angeline's Spellbound Collection, and I am lucky enough to have a couple beauties from Spellbound to share with you all.

Today's Halloween Polish is "Charmed" from Love, Angeline's Spellbound Collection. Charmed is a pumpkin orange polish with scattered holo, and it's another surprise fave for me. I normally shy away from  this type of Orange since it's another shade that makes my skin tone look funky, but this polish is just so beautiful that I couldn't help but fall in love. I swear, Natosha has yet to make a polish that I don't instantly fall head over heels for.

It's also fitting that I'm posting this today - Natosha is having her baby today! I am so excited for her (although she still needs to send me her address so I can send her a gift!) and cannot wait to see his little baby face! Natosha is such a sweetheart, and I am so blessed not only to know her, but to be able to swatch for her as well. I know I'm not a huge name, but Natosha trusts me to make her polish look good, and that means the world to me. I never take those things for granted. So Congrats to Natosha and family! May your newest little one know love, laughter, and happiness every day.

And now, back to the polish!

This is 2 coats of Charmed topped with HK Girl Top Coat:








Unfortunately I was not able to capture the holo in the macro shot, but look at that color! It's actually a touch more vibrant IRL, and tends to shift just a touch depending on lighting. It's just a perfect pumpkin orange polish and a great start to the Halloween season. Even though my skin tone really wants to reflect the orange in this, I want to wear it over and over again.

Charmed's formula is up to Love, Angeline's usual standards of excellence. No thickening during use, and perfect consistency. Application is excellent with no dragging or balding, and dry time is ultra fast, even before top coat. The only thing that I do need to mention is that this is a heavily pigmented polish and may temporarily stain your nails. I say temporarily because even though I had some staining on removal, it came right off with soap, water, and a nail brush with minimal effort. I'd just double up on the base coat and you should be fine, but if you *do* have some staining, know that it's not going to linger on your nails past a hand washing. That's not even real staining to me, but I thought I'd mention it since I wouldn't want anyone to worry should they grab this beauty and find some pinkish tint left after removal. :)

You can find Charmed and the rest of the Spellbound Collection at Love, Angeline on Big Cartel. Full size polishes run $8, save for holos which run $10. Natosha has also released her fall Deep In The Enchanted Forest Collection, and you have to see these! I was lucky enough to receive a few to share with you all, and I'll have those coming up within the next week as well. The cool thing about that collection is that you have the option to choose your finish for several colors - creme or holo - essentially doubling the colors available. These polishes are one of the reasons I'm so excited about catching up, honestly. I am a complete Love, Angeline addict and you should be too! Don't forget to follow Love, Angeline on Facebook and Instagram for sales info, re-stock information, new releases, and swatches. And don't forget to say Congrats to Natosha on her newest bundle of joy!

What do you think of Charmed? Are you as excited about Halloween collections as I am?

I'll be back this evening with my Mish Mash Challenge Mani, and I have more from Love, Angeline, Polish TBH, Cinema Swatch, Lac Attack and more coming up!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
