I think the social media gods might have been listening in
on my prayers, because one week after I complained about how awful Instagram
was, I received a text from a friend telling me that there was a new social
media platform. This one actually works. Although, it’s very new, I like it so
far. If you’re on there please say hi.
I received House on Haunted Chill (HHC) through a
friend. Although I had eyed it several
times, I never got to actually buying it.
It’s one of those polishes that I keep adding it to my “to shop list”
but I forget to purchase it. Which makes
me wonder if things seem more attractive when they are LE or HTF. There’s a number of theories on “FOMO” that
actually make sense and can be applied to nail polish. I could name many examples of polishes that I
own, which I would die to get if they were very limited (and if I didn’t have
them already, of course). Color Club
Halo Hues collex, Tonic Polish Novitiate, most Illamasquas, all of my Nfu Ohs,
and some core OPIs.
I love HHC, but as soon as I received it, I was puzzled as
to what basecolor to pair it with, because if it is too dark, it will show up
too green for my taste. Luckily, I had
this Illimite laying around in my untrieds pile. This is lavender and light enough to allow the
pink tones in HHC to glow. HHC was so
beautiful in real life, if surpassed my expectations; it is more of a glass
fleck than a glitter-shimmer, and it looks sort of metallic and smooth. Not only is the shift gorgeous, but the
finish is sophisticated and professional looking. This reminded me of fairy dust a bit, which
can only be achieved using gel polish. I
loved it so much, and I am hoping that there’s a holo version available soon.
