ÜNT Cosmetics - Sun Envy Polishes (& Halloween Nail Art)

*AD - Gifted*
Hello lovelies. Today I'm back with another round of ÜNT Cosmetics Sun Envy polishes, again with more nail art.
Seeing as it's October, I've kept to the Halloween theme (who doesn't love a good Halloween mani?!). Read on for my full swatches, nail art, and more info.

Before I get into the individual swatches, I'll quickly address the formula. I find the Sun Envy polishes have smooth, easy to apply formulas. They dry down really quickly and to a lovely glossy finish, although I do still recommend topcoating.

'The Rose Throne' (SE105) is a grey with a soft golden shimmer. I could almost get away with two coats on this one, but I did have a streak or two I wanted to even out. Below is three coats with topcoat.

I used this one for a spooky graveyard scene mani. I used Painted Polish 'Midnight Mischief' and various images from Born Pretty Store plate Halloween S003 and Nicole Diary plate 192.

'Rose Tenderness' (SE075) is a dusty pink creme. Below is two coats with topcoat.

Using Painted Polish 'Stamped in Crimson', I stamped the blood splatter image from the Moyra Labyrinth plate on all of my nails except my ring nail. On my ring nail, I stamped the fingerprint image from the same plate.

'Carefree Natalie' (MQ010) is a peachy pink creme. This looks more pink toned to me in the bottle, but definitely has a peach tone to it on my nails. Below is three coats with topcoat.

'Hepburn' (LJ035) is a shimmery brown-toned nude. This is such an interesting shade, it has tones of pink, nude, peach and brown - I found it so hard to settle on a description. This is another one that I think could be passable in two coats if you aren't picky. Below is three coats with topcoat.

The earthy tones of this one immediately made me think of a pumpkin mani. I drybrushed various oranges and browns over the top, including ÜNT 'The Opera VIP' (SE085) and 'Sunshine Shower' (MG255). I then stamped the pumpkin image from Creative Shop plate 108 on all of my nails.

'A Cup of Sunrise' (SE080) is a brown-toned nude creme. I almost added a third coat, but it was perfectly opaque in two. Below is two coats with topcoat.

'The Opera VIP' (SE085) is a warm red-toned brown creme. Again, I was tempted to add a third coat but didn't need it. Below is two coats with topcoat.

For my final nail art look, I couldn't resist these punny 'boo bees'. I stamped the bees themselves onto my middle two nails using the image from Creative Shop plate 106, and created bee inspired yellow and black stripes on my pointer and pinky nails using UberChic Beauty plate Out of Africa-01.

What do you think? There's a few warm earthy shades in here that are just perfect for the Autumn time. They all have great formulas, and it was fun to use them for a few more Halloween manis. I also have some more of ÜNT's fantasy peelable colours to share with you, which should be in my next post.

You can find all of the polishes mentioned, along with plenty of others, on the ÜNT Cosmetics website here.

Hope to see you in the next post!
