For those that don't know, a grab bag is a random assortment of polishes usually sold by a polish addict who is trying to thin their collection. You don't know what you're going to get, and that is the fun part! I am still a relatively fledgling collector - with only around 240 polishes so far - the chances of me getting something I already have is slim. I'm happy to say that all the polishes in the two grab bags I received did not double up to anything I already had.
Today's NOTD is the first polish I tried from my grab bags. As soon as I saw it, I was super psyched. My very first CrowsToes. I have purchased another CrowsToes in a blog sale, but that is yet to make it to me (fingers crossed it arrives by the end of the week!).
I have read about and seen CrowsToes polishes in various blogs and was intrigued by their awesome glitter combinations.
Voodoo is no exception.
Voodoo has purple, orange and green glitters in a clear base. Application was a bit tricky. There was a TONNE of glitter, so there was no need to fish around in the bottle. If anything, there was probably too much glitter and I had to actually brush some of the glitter off the nail to get the look I was after.
After doing some searching online, I was tossing up between layering it over purple or orange and ended up going with purple - and I LOVE it! I love the contrast of the orange and the purple.
The purple base I used is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Deep Purple - a deep purple with blue tones and pink/blue shimmer. Deep Purple applied a bit sheer, so I needed three coats for full opacity.
I topped it all off with a coat of Essence Gel Look and HK Girl.
I am pretty excited to share that CrowsToes is now available through an Aussie distributor - Femme Fatale Cosmetics. They retail for $12 and they appear to have quite a large selection of gorgeous CrowsToes polishes to choose from (plus heaps of other awesome indie brands!).
