Polish Addict Zombie Love Swatch And Review


Woot woot, another Friday!  And we're officially into spring, what could be better?  I thought it would never arrive, and even though the weather here has already been warm, knowing that spring is officially here completely changes my daily perspective.  The air seems fresher, the colors are more vibrant, and the people seem more lighthearted.  Or maybe it's because the full moon has passed.  Hooray!

For your viewing pleasure today, I have my first Glow In The Dark Polish.  And silly me, I didn't even know it until I was more than halfway through applying it.  It's Polish Addict Zombie Love, a fun mix of matte neon glitters in all shapes and sizes from stars to circles in a sheer glow in the dark light yellow base.  By looking at the bottle, I initially thought that the greenish yellow base was the actual base color, hence the name Zombie Love.  It's actually the shade of a typical clear GITD polish, just like the kind found during Halloween.  Well, it took me three coats to realize that because it wasn't building up any opacity.  At five coats(uh yeah, five coats) it's still slightly sheer but not enough to appear naked, and the glitter pieces are dense enough to carry it through to appear like a regular polish.  On my thumb I used three coats over Barielle Enduring.  This is all finished with a layer of topcoat.

My favorite glitters in this are the stars in white and pink, as well as the holographic squares.  I like how it turned out on its own, but I think it's meant to be worn over other colors as a clear glitter GITD topcoat, in which case it would need at least two coats to obtain satisfactory glitter density.  Oh!  You want to see what it looks like in the dark?  Well, of course!  I changed my camera settings as recommended by Will Paint Nails For Food, check it out her guide here.

Huh.  Now I think I know what it's called Zombie Love!  Look at those Zombielicious nails!  Have you tried any GITDs yet?

  1. This is so cool! Five coats seems like a lot though, but at least you know next time to layer it. One of the polishes I got in my order from Polish Addict is Unicorn Galaxy and it's my first glow in the dark too. I haven't used it yet but I can't wait.
