China Glaze Howl You Doin', Monsters Ball Coll. swatches

China Glaze Howl You Doin' is a pretty glitter in a dark purple base.
It is very opaque and easy to work with. 1 coat is enough, but this is 2 coats with a super quick dry time. It dries slightly gritty so a good top coat is a must, if you want a smooth surface. I used 1 coat of Seche Vite for these swatches.

Howl do you like Howl You Doin'?

China Glaze Monsters Ball Halloween 2013 coll: Bump In The Night swatches

OK, I'm no longer a virgin - aehm, I'm no longer a textured polish virgin ;)

China Glaze Bump in the Night is a black texture polish. I never was attracted to textured polishes, so this is my first ever...!
I read a review of this polish: "easy to work with, 1 coat and quick dry time" - so I knew it's now or never.
And all of the above is completely true!
So do I like to wear it?
It's not as terrible as I thought it would be, and my nails didn't feel trapped like they do when I wear a full-nail glitter mani - so who knows, I might wear it again, but I probably will not buy more textured polishes... ;)

Do you like texture polishes - and what do you think of China Glaze Bump In The Night?
