Freak Show Spectacle
I feel like I’ve been gone forever! I usually paint my nails every other day, but I went three days on “Misty Day” because it looked so good…
This is Delush Polish “Freak Show Spectacle” from the “Scream Supreme” Collection. This polish is inspired by Season 4 – Freakshow. It’s a purple jelly filled with bright circus-y micro-glitter. This one is all tiny glitter and doesn’t have the bigger glitter like the others. It’s very patriotic – almost like Julep “America”.
I used Revlon Quick Dry Base and Top Coat. It did well enough, better than NYC “Grand Central Station” – but not as smooth as Sally Hansen Diamond Flash.
Misty Day
Here’s another polish from Delush Polish’s “Scream Supreme” Collection – “Misty Day”, named for the swamp witch gifted with powers of regeneration in American Horror Story: Coven. I really didn’t care much for Misty Day – mostly because of her obsession with the musical delights of Stevie Nicks. If you could teach a cat in heat to smoke cigarettes…that’s Stevie Nicks.
“Bitchcraft” was no fluke – “Misty Day” is just as perfect. No dabbing or fishing, just paint your goddamn nails and they look fucking awesome. I stayed with the Orly Bonder as a basecoat, but that might have been a mistake – this glitter is a sonuvabitch to get off. It took 30 minutes. I was MUCH happier using Sally Hansen Diamond Flash for the topcoat – it’s much smoother, although not 100% smooth.
Bitchcraft
Here it is – the first of the 7 polishes in Delush Polish’s “Scream Supreme” Collection.
Of course I started with “Bitchcraft”. It’s a black jelly with different sizes and shades of pink glitter – from pale pink to fuchsia. It’s inspired by the 3rd season of American Horror Story – Coven. This polish makes me think of cunty Madison, played by Emma Roberts.
I used Orly Bonder for the basecoat and then painted 2 coats of “Bitchcraft”. This is the most perfect glitter I have ever used. No dabbing, no fishing. I literally just painted my nails and this is how it turned out. Absolutely stress-free glitter. The only thing I would do differently is use a different top coat. I used NYC “Grand Central Station”. The formula is too thin and it didn’t create a smooth top layer – it sunk into the cracks.
While I was at HEB, I grabbed a replacement bottle of Sally Hansen Diamond Flash – I won’t go through the disappointment of “Grand Central Station” again.
Next up – “Misty Day”.
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!
