OPI Tattoo Ta-Boo Halloween Nail Polish Set

It's Halloween! Let's repackage old colors and give them cheesy names! Basically that's this kit in a nutshell.

There's four mini-size polishes, white creme, black creme, orange creme and a cornflower blue jelly that glows in the dark. Unless you want this set for the Glow in the dark polish, just save your money. Or buy it online cheap - $6.11 at Transdesign. Then you can have the lil tattoo pack. Which will surely change your life.

Let's start with the only reason to buy this pack, other than you don't have these colors at all and minis would be a good idea. The glow in the dark polish is a sheer cornflower blue. This pic is 3 thick coats and no topcoat. It spreads decently and dries very quickly, like matte polish. It's thick. It glows fairly well, you can see it but nobody is going to stop you and scream "OMG YOUR NAILS ARE GLOWING!!". I like it well enough that it made this pack worth it. It's very grainy.

On to the filler. A black creme, decent formula, no different than anyone else's glossy black really but easy to use. The SCARY name is OPI Witch Arm?:

The white is gluey, thick, full of some unnameable chunky glop, and was a real pain in the ass. I hate its guts. It's called OPI I Love Mummy:

The orange is called OPI Tattoo You Want Candy and frankly it looks summer citrus to me and not at all Fall pumpkin.

Whatever, I'd save my cash unless you are already making an order and want the glowing polish.

  2. That orange is a candy corn orange, not summer citrus - hence the name.

  3. I don't see it. Also if you have to EXPLAIN it, it isn't doing its job. I completely doubt if I wore it anyone would say "Oh hey how cool you wore candy corn nail polish!" I think even candy corn is a darker orange. I'll buy some and do a color comparison, for fun!

  5. Augusta, I wish I had seen the blue glow in the dark alone and in a full size bottle, I haven't seen it in stores or online. :(
