Hello all! I'm excited to bring you my first Halloween polish swatch of the season! Halloween is my favorite holiday and therefore, I'm always excited to see what the indie makers come up with for the season. Pretty & Polished has recently released their Halloween 2014 trio and I've got one of the set to show you today!
Little Miss Scare-All is comprised of tiny bright pink, copper, and red glitters swimming in a gorgeous purple jelly base. I wasn't sure how I'd like this one when I saw it in the bottle. But once I got it on my nails, I was blown away by the depth in this polish; it's stunning! I love the way all the little glitters catch the light and the colors are perfect for Halloween and autumn in general.
LMSA is also fully opaque in 2-3 coats. I'm showing just 2 coats here with a coat of Seche Vite on top to smooth out any bumpy bits. The formula is great, very smooth and easy to apply. My bottle is a little on the thick side, but not enough to be a problem. Durability is good as well. I wore this one for about 2 days with little to no tip wear and no major chips.
Pretty & Polished has quickly become one of my favorite indie brands. The polishes are always flawless with gorgeous and unique colors and finishes. You really can't go wrong!
Little Miss Scare-All is currently available on the Pretty & Polished site for $8.50 for a full-size, 15ml bottle. You can also purchase it as part of the Halloween 2014 Trio which is listed for $26 (plus you'll get a free LE bottle if you buy the set during October. I have it, trust me, you want it!). I'm definitely eying Black is the New Orange from this set as well...I love thermals and this one just screams Halloween!

Thanks so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed this post!

Can you guys believe it's October already?! I really can't...this year has gone so quickly. I never believed my parents when they said time sped up the older you got...but it appears to be all too true! Before you know it, it'll be Christmas and then New Year's and it starts all over again. *sigh* For now, however, it's just Tuesday which means we're due for a Try It On Tuesday post! If you're interested in joining the TIOT crew, all you need to do is go to SassyPaints' Facebook page and "like" it. Then, every Tuesday, post your chosen polish pic (just one), along with the brand/name of the polish and link to your post (does NOT have to be a blog; instagram, flickr, tumblr, or whatever!) to her Wall. That's it! Easy peasy, yes?
For my TIOT this week, I have my very first Pretty & Polished polish to show you. I actually won this polish via a Facebook giveaway hosted by Pretty & Polished and I'll definitely be buying them on my own in the future! Anyway, on to the pics!
For Sweater or Worse is part of Pretty & Polished's Fall In Love collection and, lemme tell ya, love is definitely what I'm feelin'! FSOW is a red-toned, plummy purple creme. So often in the indie world, we're so busy "Ooo"ing and "Ah"ing over all the gorgeous glitter bombs, jellies, holographics, and duochromes (and rightfully so, don't get me wrong on that!) that we often forget what a miracle it is to make a good creme polish. FSOW certainly made me remember. Smooth and perfectly opaque, with a beautiful shine, this polish is everything a creme should be.
The color is also stunning and I don't say that just because purple is my favorite. Aptly named, FSOW calls to mind warm, cozy sweaters worn in front of crackling fires in ski lodges. It's a perfect Fall shade and I can envision all the polish pairing with FSOW as a base. Oh! the possibilities!

I'm wearing 2 coats of FSOW for these photos, although it really is just about a one-coater. I topped everything with a coat of Seche Vite, but the shine was evident before the top coat. There was a little bit of tip wear after a couple days, but no chips. Just a beautiful polish all around! For Sweater or Worse is currently available on the Pretty & Polished website for $8.50 for a full sized 15ml bottle, a small price to pay for a little bit of heaven!
