I hope you have a scare-tastic, spook-tacular day, friends! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays – it’s just pure fun! Today I’ve got a couple Halloween manis to share! Eyes in the Dark!

If you love holographic, glitzy polishes, then you really can’t miss out on the Zoya Ornate collection! Ornate, Zoya’s holiday offering, is six beautiful and celebratory polishes that shimmer and glow. Not one of these polishes disappointed me!

One of the new brands I highlighted in an earlier roundup post about Cosmoprof North America (held in Las Vegas, July 22-24) was LVX (Latin; pronounced lux). In my conversation with the creative director, Branka, I learned what she hopes will make this up-and-comer polish brand different from other brands. Branka said LVX is not just a …
