Swatch: Primark PS - Glow in the Dark Polish

So this is a swatch rather than actual Halloween nail art, but I thought now would be a good time to share a fun polish which I have been using a lot recently and will be on the blog in the form of nail art very soon. It comes packaged in a cute light bulb box, this is the yellow glow in the dark polish but there was also a neon pink version.

3 coats, standard light, bottle shot

The polish dries quite quickly which was a good thing as I needed 3 coats to achieve opacity.

The glow in the dark aspect of the polish wasn't noticeable at all unless I had 'charged' it up by holding a light over it for a couple of seconds before hand.

A very potent smelling polish.

SIMPLES: Gradient

The Crumpet has a challenge going, to help teach nail art from the simple to the master.

So week 11 is upon us and the task to master is a technique called 'gradient' which is something I have used a lot. Usually I stamp over the top of a gradient. Here are my examples:
