I hope the delay between part one and two wasn't too unbearable. If you missed part one of What Are You Afraid Of you can find it here.

Reanimate

Firecracker Lacquer Reanimate

Reanimate is a shimmery holographic green with gray glitters. It also glows in the dark; and eerie green glow. This lacquer represents a fear of the undead - zombies, vampires, mummies, and ghouls. The formula was a nice consistency and required three coats for full coverage. The glow photo was charged underneath daylight compact fluorescent lights for three minutes. 

Polishes used: Firecracker Lacquer- Reanimate, Poshe- Top Coat

Submerged

Submerged is a blackened blue jelly filled with iridescent, teal, and holographic silver glitters, and blue flecks. This lacquer represents a fear of drowning and water. The formula was highly pigmented and barely needed two coats for full coverage.

Unexpected Chill is a white creme with a slight green shimmer and shifting iridescent glitters. This lacquer represents ghosts, wraiths, spirits, sprites, and other things who you cannot see, but who can see you. This was one of the most difficult polishes to photograph. The iridescent glitters are in there (I promise!), they are just really subtle. They are most noticeable in the close up I used in the first post. The green shimmer is really neat. I didn't really notice it indoors unless I stuck my hand directly under a light. The moment I moved my hand around in the sunlight it was more prevalent. The formula was a little thicker than the rest, but not nearly as thick as many other glow in the dark polishes I've used. I found that 2-3 coats provides full coverage. The glow photo was taken after three minutes of charging under a daylight compact fluorescent bulb.

I'm sad to say that our journey through the spooky and unsettling has come to an end. I hope you found these as terrifying (and gorgeous) as I did! The What Are You Afraid Of collection will be released on Friday, September 19th at 10am MST.
