Happy Hands Are You Afraid of the Dark Halloween Collection 2013 - Swatches & Review

Press Sample

Hi all! Today's post the the Are You Afraid of the Dark? Halloween Collection from Happy Hands Nail Polish!
I'm so mad at myself for not remembering any specific Are You Afraid of the Dark? episodes right now!
definitely remember the show but apparently my memory crapped out on retaining all of those memories :(
Either that or I have mixed them up with Goosebumps!


Happy Hands Are You Afraid of the Dark Collection
Happy Hands Laughing in the Dark
Laughing in the Dark - Three coats.

"It’s the most fun in the park when you’re laughing in the dark… Don’t be scared while wearing this purple
jelly with neon green, yellow, red, and purple glitters, inspired by Zeebo the cigar-smoking clown."


Laughing in the Dark went on unevenly for me, the base is really smooth but the glitters made it a little clumpy when it was layered so it didn't go on perfectly smooth. Since the formula wasn't perfect I decided to layer it and I prefer it that way!

Two coats of  Laughing in the Dark over Illamasqua Prosperity.

Happy Hands Super Specs (2)
Super Specs - One coat plus a little dabbing over Cult Nails Lamestain.

"Use this glitter topcoat to see into another dimension (but don’t say I didn’t warn you!)
This polish is packed with holographic silver glitter, iridescent glitter, purple shimmer, and green flecks."


Super Specs went on perfect and smooth! I love the purple micro shimmer!

One coat of Super Specs over The Midnight Society.

Happy Hands The Midnight Society (1)
The Midnight Society - Four thin coats.

"Submitted for your approval, this is a glow-in-the-dark blue jelly (and it also glows blue) with micro iridescent glitters.
I declare this meeting of the Midnight Society closed."


The Midnight Society has a great formula, it is a little sheer and dries semi matte.
It looks slightly uneven before you add topcoat but with topcoat it looks perfect.
The VNL is slightly more apparent in the photo than in person.

The Midnight Society glowing!

Happy HandsThe Tale of the Dark Music (1)
The Tale of the Dark Music - Three coats.

"Won’t you come play with me? This is a black jelly filled with microglitters in red, fuchsia, purple,
and blue, and reminiscent of something evil lurking behind that cellar door."


The Tale of the Dark Music is a bit sheer too so I decided to layer it below.
But the formula is amazing, it went on smooth and evenly.

Two coats of The Tale of the Dark Music over Black. (I can't remember specifically which one.)
