Halloween nails: China Glaze - Cackle If You Want To (Ghouls' Night Out Halloween Collection 2015)

I had the right Halloween spirit this year for my nails!
China Glaze Cackle If You Want To is such a nice glitter topper, how could I not get inspired?!
It is a matte striped (!) purple (4 sizes) and black (3 sizes) glitter mix in a clear base.
It was the only polish I got from the collection, the orange (Lady and The Vamp) and the green one (Drink Up Witches) were sold out.....
For this mani I used China Glaze Cackle If You Want to (glitter topper), DURI Piranha (green), OPI Rumple's Wiggin (pale lilac), OPI Do You Have This Color In Stock-holm?, OPI My Vampire Is Buff (light creme), OPI You're So Vain-illa (vanilla creme) and Essie Licorice (black).

OPI - Do You Have This Color In Stock-holm? (Nordic Collection, autumn 2014) and OPI - Comet in the Sky (Gwen Stefani Collection, Christmas 2014)

I had some serious doubts about posting Do You Have This Color in Stock-holm? My camera just does not like blues and purples, no matter what I do with the settings, all blues and purples look alike and completely washed out!?
But that being what it is and I hope it will still show, in a way, the lovely combination between DYHTCIS and Comet in the Sky.

First up is DYHTCIS au naturel.
Naturally it reminded me of OPI Eurso Euro and I had the same problem with it as well. The colour looks sort of really intense and saturated when you see swatches on the internet, but then in real life it is way darker and less intense. It's weird, or maybe it's just me.....

Then I received OPI Comet in the Sky in the mail....and I just could not resist....I had the slab it on immediately. Comet is such a lovely topper; it has ultra large black hexes and smaller ones in three sizes AND there are these large transparent iridescent hexes (love those) with friends in two smaller sizes all in a clear base.

Then I tried to persuade my camera to show the familiarity between Eurso Euro and DYHTCIS.....
They are sisters alright,  DYHTCIS is the purple sister and Eurso Euro the blue one.
I also took out Orly Saturated, Sation Miss Emo Shun All and L'Oreal nr 829 but they all had more red in them then DYHTCIS. Orly the least red (and this one was most saturated and intense) and the L'Oreal had the most (and was the least saturated and intense, it needed 4 coats to reach this intensity)
