HALLOWE’EN – Part 2 of 4
SALLY HANSEN –
Pumpkin Spice
Hi Goddesses.
So this is part 2 of
4, and this time the focus is on Sally Hansen’s PUMPKIN SPICE. You can read my review of China Glaze
ICK-A-BOD-Y here. Coming up we have CG
Fortune Teller and then a big ole pic heavy swatch comparisonarama!
Sally Hansen has my
favourite bottle of all – this isn’t relevant, but it’s my blog lol. I love that it’s narrow and tall, and I love
the wand. They also apply really easily
and are a real VFM price.
So, Pumpkin Spice…
has an automatic head start because my cat is called Pumpkin. In all the photos, PS is layered over 2 coats
of SH Black Out, and the contrast nail (thumb) is in CG Ick-A-Bod-y.
The immediately
noticeable difference is how much sparser and smaller the glitter is in
PS. Which one you prefer is really going
to be driven by this factor.
Personally, I loved the sparseness – it made me feel I was wearing a
night sky sprinkled with sunset.
The base is a murky
brown rather than black, and does not have the green overtone of Icky. The orange glitter is pretty much identical
in colour – and looks fabulous electric against black nails. I am also itching to try this over a red to
see what happens J
Again, I added
KleanColor Chunky Holo in POPPY over the middle nail – I really love how this
makes half the sparkles flash green – it’s just so twisted monster!
So, for me, PS is a
winner, I like it’s subtle, and I am pretty sure with more layers you can build
it up to match Icky.
Stay tuned, just
Fortune Teller to go, then we can vote for our favourite!
Enjoy J
Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
