China Glaze Apocalypse of Colour | Don't Let The Dead Bite + Getting To Gnaw You

I am here to show you two China Glaze nail polishes from the latest Halloween collection. Why now? Because one of them is a gorgeous shade for spring, and the other one is very similar to an OPI nail polish. This is a photo heavy post.

China Glaze Apocalypse of Color - Don't Let The Dead Bite; Getting To Gnaw You

I bought both of them in March I think, they were 50% off at the Nailland website, which is a sweet deal for such lovely polishes. Older CG Halloween collections were famous for zombie green shades (such as Zombie Zest and It's Alive), and unfortunately I wasn't able to buy any of those. China Glaze wasn't available in my country back then, and now those shades are ridiculously expensive on ebay.

These two are my first Halloween polishes by CG, and that is pretty exciting for me, because Halloween is my favourite Holiday, even though we don't celebrate it in this country (I sure do).

The black one is called Getting To Gnaw You, and it is a black jelly base nail polish with copper glitter. I bought it because it is very similar to Today I Accomplished Zero by OPI, except that one has darker pink glitter in it. I missed the entire Coca Cola OPI collection last year, and judging by the photos, Getting To Gnaw You is pretty similar to TIAZ. I will still order the OPI one from ebay, I just simply need that nail polish in my life. It is me in a nail polish bottle, and it has possibly the best nail polish shade name ever.

Getting To Gnaw You is opaque in two coats, and it dries to a slightly textured finish because of the glitter. You'll need a good top coat to smooth it out. I used two coats of Seche Vite, but the Essence BTGN top coat will work the same. The copper / rose gold glitter is just adorable.

China Glaze Don't Let The Dead Bite nail swatch

Don't Let The Dead Bite is a peach crelly glitter with red shiny microglitter, bar glitter and bigger hex glitter. It is supposed to look like blood splatter, and it really does. It also reminds me of the result of a headshot, aka bloody brain pieces. It is just amazing, I love morbid and gross things like that. The horror fan in me is really happy.

Now if I approach the shade from a different point of view, it is really just a soft peach crelly with red glitter. It will not look skin-like on darker skintones, therefore it can be a beautiful spring crelly polish. I loved it so much that I actually bought a backup as well.

I can make it look nice in one coat only if I carefully dab and pat the glitter. If you want to make sure that it looks good, apply two coats. It does not have a textured finish, thank goodness. The other two shades that I did not buy are both textured polishes, and that is a turn off for me. They have a very odd texture. (Now I diss them, but just watch me buying those anyway in a month or two. Always happens.)

You can still buy these at half price on the Nailland website (EU shipping), but the peach crelly is currently sold out. I'm sure that you can find it for even cheaper overseas. 

Would you wear them?

I bought the products myself.
