China Glaze Haunting: Nail Polish Swatches & Review

This my first of many nail polish swatches and reviews. If you haven't seen my nail polish collection blog post, please go take a look at it. I've taken pictures of all of my nail polishes and I will be posting individual blog posts about each nail polish as I wear it.

The first nail polish is China Glaze's Haunting from the Halloween 2011 collection. I bought this nail polish at Ulta. The collection is named the same as the nail polish - Haunting!

Haunting is a gorgeous black packed with silver glitter. This polish reminds me of the night sky. The formula was great, thick but very easy to work with. I used 2 coats for the photos below.

The pictures shown are after a week of wearing the polish. I hadn't planned on making this blog series or else I would have taken a picture of it when it was fresh and free of chips.

This polish was a little difficult to remove, however that was expected since it contains glitters.

Personally I really like this shade and if you can get your hands on it, I would recommend you picking up a bottle.

FYI: the chip on my index finger happened because the polish wasn't completely dry when I did my hair for the night. That was caused by a bobbi pin, not the polish chipping! So please disregard that in terms of the polish wear time.

XOXO

Is there any nail polishes that I should buy? Maybe after I've went through some of these!
