TarasTalons Creepy

Another UK Indie for you today and October has been designated UK Indie month, by the UK Indie makers on facebook, so an even better excuse to blog this.
If I needed an excuse! This arrived today and instantly I had to wear it. I ordered 4 mini polishes from TarasTalons, having trawled through the many beauties she has listed here. They are all unique, so you won't find one exactly like this but you'll be sure to find something pretty!
This is from her Halloween collection and it's called Creepy. It is beautiful! A mix of red, teal and silver matte squares, small teal glitters and tiny red microglitter in a sheer blue base.
I was already wearing Leighton Denny Embellish Me, so I haven't swatched it on a bare nail but there's such a lot of glitter I think you could easily build this one up to full coverage. I have just used one coat here and I think its gorgeous. It's so sparkly, the red microglitter really catch the light, so I get teal or red as I move my hand and I think they look great against the dark purple of Embellish Me.
This is quite a textured polish and having only used one coat of top coat I can feel the glitter but I don't mind that, a second coat would make it completely smooth.
I love glittery nails and I love dark nails so this is perfection for me!

Leighton Denny Embellish Me

It's starting to feel rather autumnal, any excuse to get the dark polishes out. This is another of my favourite Leighton Denny polishes, Embellish Me. It is a deep, dark purple creme, almost black in some lights. It is so rich and dark, it's one of those polishes that I just love the moment it hits my nails.
It applied well, almost opaque in one coat but I have done two coats here.
Took a few pics in the afternoon sunshine, but the camera decided that the purple in the glove shots needed to be lighter, no idea why - it is dark purple, so are the gloves!
When I wear a colour like this I wonder why I ever put lighter colours on. Over the last six months or so, my tastes have broadened but these are still my go to shades!
