Superficially Colorful Ghouls Night Out

Like I'm Just A Little Batty, Ghouls Night Out was released by Israel-based indie polish maker Superficially Colorful as part of the Halloween 2015 collection at the beginning of October this past fall. This is a bright verdant medium-toned green linear holographic polish bearing fine golden shimmers, which lean it ever-so-slightly toward the yellow end of the yellow/blue spectrum, somewhere between shamrock and kelly. Lush and vibrant with a hint of grassiness, it's really a perfect holiday sort of green, Christmas or St. Paddy's Day. Holographic effects render a jungly dimensionality on the nail, and in direct sun there's a splendid prismatic flare in various hues of green edged by a band of burnt orange surrounding a semi-metallic golden olive flash.

Application was most agreeable! The consistency of Ghouls Night Out is fluid and super creamy with a medium viscosity and a silky slip over the nail. Self-leveling properties are very good, as is pigmentation. There's a degree of translucence to the formula that is sheerish on the first coat but produces wearably opaque coverage in two coats. I added a third, which I thought increased the visual density and richness of the color. Cleanup is easy and straightforward with a little pigment travel but no trace staining to speak of. Ghouls Night Out dries naturally in very good time to a slick glossy finish.

Holy cow, that's good! This wonderful green is dense and vibrant and luminous, with a certain enameled quality to its appearance that gives it a sense of something exquisitely crafted and precious. Such a rich, lively hue, it makes my eyes happy! I'm thrilled to learn that I can get away with such a powerful green on my nails because I surely couldn't wear it otherwise. But then, I can't imagine this polish looking any less than fantastic on anyone.

My new favorite green!

love,
