Mckfresh Nail Attire Goosbumps Collection: Swatch & Review

Hello!
Today I have another Mckfresh Nail Attire collection to show you! This spooky collection is inspired by poplar 90's book series, Goosebumps! Goosebumps were hugely popular when I was at primary school but I must admit that I was too much of a scary cat to read them >.< I was more of a Saddle Club girl haha. When Kate contacted me and told me about the new collection, I was super excited because I knew the theme would produce some beautiful, dark shades and she has delivered!


The Goosebumps Collection
Consisting of 6 shades, this collection is mostly made up of rich, blackened colours with lots of interesting shimmers, sparks, and flakies. There's also a lovely glitter topper as well :)

Dead House
A dark navy shimmer with blue and pink sparks. Application was good with 3 easy coats. The pink sparks are much more evident in real life.

Swatches show 3 coats with top coat.

Be Careful What You Wish For
This one is a gorgeous duochrome that shifts from blue to purple and to pink at some angles. It applied smoothly and didn't leave brushstrokes like some chromes tend to do. You can reach opacity on its own with 2-3 coats but I decided to apply it over black to intensify the shift. I used two coats over black but adding the second coat didn't make much of a difference so I would recommend just one coat over black. It also has some subtle blue sparks through it that makes it extra special!

Swatches show 2 coats over black with top coat.

Vampire Breath
A glitter topper with lots of iridescent hex and flakies plus a scattering of holo. One coat is all you need and it gives an even distribution of glitter. This is a really versatile topper as it would look beautful over any colour but the iridescent glitter really pops over darker colours.

Swatches shows 1 coat over a subtle purple>blue>black gradient.

The next 3 shades are the shimmery flakie shades and they all have identical formulas. They all needed 3 easy coats to reach a nice even opacity.

Horrorland
A blackened blue base with blue flakies and shimmer with subtle pink and gold sparks.

Swatches show 3 coats with top coat

Camp Nightmare
A blackened green base with green flakies and shimmer as well as some red and gold sparks that pop in the sun.

Swatches show 3 coats with topcoat.

Haunted Mask
A blackened purple based polish with purple glimmers and flecks, blue sparks, gold shimmer and iridescence.

Swatches show 3 coats with top coat.

I was really pleased with this collection with it's really complex combinations of shimmers, sparks and flakies (I was having trouble identifying them at times!). If you're someone who likes to match their nail polish to the season, this collection is perfect for winter!

Availability
The Mckfresh Nail Attire Goosebumps Collection is available now from their etsy store. International buys can message Kate through the store to discuss international shipping options.

Mckfresh Nail Attire Valentines Day Duo - Swatch & Review

*Products in this post provided for my honest review. Read my Disclosure Policy here.

Hi ladies!
I'm back again with another review of some brand new Mckfresh Nail Attire Polishes! This lovely Valentines Day Duo will be released alongside the Mckfresh Ooo-Friends! Adventure Time Collection tonight! Check out my review of the Ooo-Friends Collection here.

First is Like A Dream, a soft, romantic cream coloured crelly. It has lovely little gold flakes with rose pink micro glitters and a beautiful gold dust shimmer throughout. The formula was great, really smooth and not streaky at all. However, it was a little bit sheer (my swatches show 4 coats) but because of the soft prettiness of this shade, the sheerness kinda works. Anyway, you could always layer it over a nude if you wanted full opacity :)

On the nail, the gold dust hasn't really shown up in my photos but you definitely see it IRL! Check out the bottle for an idea of how pretty it is.

Swatch shows 4 coats with Seche Vite topcoat.

The second half of the Mckfresh Valentines Duo is Where's the Confetti. This one has heaps of tiny neon pink, white, & watermelon hexes in a pastel pink crelly base.

The concept of this polish is the same as Lady from the Mckfresh Ooo-Friends Collection and the formula is much the same. Whilst the base is a little sheer, you get opacity from the build up of all the glitter!

Mckfresh Nail Attire 'Ooo-Friends!' Adventure Time inspired collection - Swatch & Review

*Products in this post provided for my honest review. Read my Disclosure Policy here.

Today I have a brand new collection from Mckfresh Nail Attire to share with you all! Fans of Adventure Time will be super excited to discover that this five shade collection is based on five colourful characters from the cult cartoon. This collection, titled 'Ooo-Friends!', is 'Episode 1' of Mckfresh Adventure Time inspired polishes, with another collection to come later this year.


All swatches are finished with one coat of Seche Vite topcoat. Photos taken with artificial light in lightbox, unless otherwise noted.

First up is a black jelly inspired by Marceline. This one has a ton of holographic hexes in red, silver and purple. Daddy's Little Monster would sparkle like crazy in the sun but when I was swatching this, the sun was refusing to come out!
Application was nice and easy and only needed two coats for full opacity which means no black undies for this one!

Puncha Yo Buns is a white crelly based on Finn. This one is full of circle and square glitter in blue, green, white and black. I really like this one! It's really fun and has a unique mix of glitter. It also didn't need white undies, I needed three coats on its own to reach opacity. You could also just do one coat over white for a simpler look.

Next is Lady, inspired by Lady Raincorn. This pastel yellow crelly is filled with little hex in all the colours of the rainbow! It has neon pink, blue, green, white, and orange tiny hex - and lots of them! The base is a little sheer but it works because of the huge amount of glitters so you get a lot of coverage from the glitters alone. My swatch shows 3 coats.

'W.C.D.M.C' (Whistling Choir Death Match Championship), is based on Princess Bubblegum. This soft lolly pink with small pastel circles and tiny pink and white hex. The formula was lovely and smooth with a good glitter payout. My swatch shows 3 coats.

Last from the Ooo-Friends! collection, What the Lump?! - inspired by Lumpy Space Princess. This is a lovely pink-toned pastel purple crelly and is my favourite from the collecton! It's has a unique mix of glitter with gold stars, purple circles, and black hex and bars. I had no problems getting the stars out so there must be a ton in the bottle. It does require a little bit of fiddling to get the stars and bars to lay flat and you need a generous coat of  topcoat to smooth it out but it's totally worth it!!

The Mckfresh Nail Attire Ooo-Friends! Collection will be available at 8pm (AEDST) this Thursday night (30/01) at $10.00 per 12ml bottle. Check out their Etsy store here.

Stay tuned for more from Mckfresh Nail Attire in the next few days when I show you their Valentines Day Duo. :)
