Halloween Humor – Putting A Halt On Spending

Sometimes it’s better not to go to the stores when Halloween decorations are out.

But then…bahhahahHahHAaa!,…like, who would DO THAT?!

Goth Humor – (Not) Sorry, Summer

I appreciate all the seasons, I really do.  But if I had my way, it would be Halloween every day of the year (and no, I love it so much that it wouldn’t get old. Halloweentown 365? Sign me up!)

So I tend to buy Halloween-ish decor all year round…it just happens to be a whole lot easier when retailers jump on board.  I not only don’t know what to do with myself because I want ALL of it, but I try to enjoy every moment of full-on Halloween before Thanksgiving and Christmas ruin the party. Damn you, turkeys and Santa… Give me at least a *small* window to grieve!

Holiday 2015 – Zoya Matte Velvet

Zoya has some newbies for Holiday 2015 – the Velvet Matte Collection!  I think the colors are wonderful for holiday, actually…

There are six shades in total, but somehow (at least in my mind!) the six manage to cover festive Christmas decorations, snow, trees, sugar plums..the gamut! Look at the array below and tell me I’m not bonkers!

  • Aspen–  Sparkling artic white with micronized diamond pearl fleck
  • Sue – Soft champagne gold with multi-hued oyster shell pearl fleck
  • Amal – Classic crimson red ruby red pearl fleck
  • Iris – Deep amethyst with fuchsia pearl fleck
  • Yves – Deep sapphire with a blue pearl fleck 
  • Honor – True emerald green with tone on tone emerald pearl fleck

I’m not always as into the “velvet” polishes (much that I love the material!)  But these don’t look as flat and / or drab as I’ve seen – they look quite pretty!  The texture makes for an unexpected twist.  

If you don’t want to go totally matte, dab a bit of glossy topcoat here or there, in a stripe or dot, or in a fade…to add a bit of additional flare! 🙂
