My life isn't done being all in a tizzy, not by a long shot, but it is time for Halloween and even in a no-time-for-nails shenanigan, I
have to Halloween!

As soon as I saw swatches of KBShimmer's Resting Witch Face, I knew what my Halloween look would be this year, and it quite obligingly showed up just in time to jump on my nails. It doesn't hurt at all that I'm apparently on both a thermal kick and a Polish Pickup kick lately!

The utterly perfectly named Resting Witch Face is a black to almost clear thermal jam packed with lime green glitters - it's the Wicked Witch's face and her dress, all in one go, and it's delightfully fun. The glitters come in a couple of sizes, and some of them glint metallic holo in bright sunlight.

I'm wearing 2 coats here, which at arm's length was always adequate coverage, but it looks a little more sparse in macro photos than it did IRL. The gorgeously dramatic black cold state was always fully opaque.

Despite the heavy glitter distribution, Witch had a near perfect formula with very minimal cleanup needed. It wore very well for 6 full days; any edgewear you see here reflects the fact that I loved it too much to take it off until several days after Halloween was past. As with most all thermals, this dries to a somewhat matte finish making topcoat a necessity, and the glitter makes this particularly topcoat thirsty. Initially, my 2 layers (one of Girly Bits Glitter Glaze, then a thinner quick drying topcoat) were enough to smooth things, but after 24h a pebbly texture emerged again.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars for this fantastic Halloween in a bottle.
Where to buy: as with all of the one-and-done Polish Pickup shades, your best bet to find a bottle is to join the PPU buy/sell fb group and ask around.
