Wicked Witch Nails
First up from the Autumn Nostalgia collection, Wicked Witch Nails is a dark maroon red base with red/gold microflake shimmer, inspired by the fake witch fingers. Opaque in 2 coats. The microflake is super glowy! According to Taylor, this one is essentially a red version of Capricorn (Mermaids of The Zodiac Vol.1) minus holo flakes. I’ve included comparison with some other popular reds, including Perhaps a Christmas Gourd (Nov 22′ PPU) and Hearts Aflame (Jeweled). They might be similar but are all unique on their own.
Wicked Witch Nails｜US$13.50｜15ml
Frank Me Up With Party Favors
Frank Me Up With Party Favors is a bright pink base with subtle teal to purple to pink shifting shimmer, inspired by Lisa Frank Halloween Party favors. Opaque in 3 coats. This color is everything! It’s a medium tone, almost neon-y pink. It’s so bright that I need a pair of sunglasses! For comparison, I’ve included Talk Furby to Me (Back to the 90’s Vol.2), Mind Your Own Biscuits and Life Will Be Gravy (Slow Burn), and Cat-Bear (Feb 24′ PPU).

Caramel Apple Pop
Caramel Apple Pop is a light tan base with gold to green to blue shifting shimmer, and scattered red/gold microflake shimmer, inspired by Caramel Apple Pops candy. Opaque in 2 coats. The gold shift of the microflake is so beautiful, reminding me the leaves turning from green to gold.
Caramel Apple Pop｜US$13.50｜15ml
Let’s Watch Horror Movies
Let’s Watch Horror Movies is a smoky gray blue base with blue to purple shifting shimmer, inspired by cozying up on the couch watching movies. Opaque in 3 coats. In comparison with Here Lies Betelgeuse from the same collection, this one has a grey undertone, while Betelgeuse has a swampy green base.
Let’s Watch Horror Movies｜US$13.50｜15ml
See Spot Scared
See Spot Scared is a light yellow base with red/gold microflake shimmer and holo flakes, inspired by Spot books. Opaque in 2 coats. I’m not 100% sure but this has a very similar vibe as Capricorn from Mermaids of the Zodiac Vol.1. Those microflake reflects the light so beautifully. The green shift of the flakies reminds me of Tweetie Pie (For the Birds Vol.2). Comparison is in the back.

Beanie Baby Boom
Next up comes the cutest color of the collection. Beanie Baby Boom is a white base with orange and black holographic glitter, and scattered pink/aqua crystal flakes. Opaque in 3 coats. If you know Taylor, you know that she’s not a big fan of glitters. But when she makes one, you know it’s going to be good. I’m so obsessed with this, and can see it being a great Halloween shade.
Beanie Baby Boom｜US$13.50｜15ml
Ghostface
Next up we have Ghostface. This is a magnetic, and has a gray base with red/orange/gold magnetic pigment, inspired by Ghostface. Opaque in 2 coats. In my swatch, pointer and ring finger are magnetized into a cat-eye look; middle finger and pinkie are unmagnetized; thumb is magnetized into a velvet look. Such a unique polish!
Ghostface｜US$13.50｜15ml
The Headless Ghost
The Headless Ghost is a deep blurple base with pink to gold shifting shimmer, inspired by Goosebumps books, specifically The Headless Ghost. Opaque in 2 coats. This one looks very dark on the nails. I like it a lot more than I thought I would, especially those delicate shimmer that gives out a subtle twinkle. I’ve included comparison with Wishbone (Back to the 90’s Vol.2) and Perfect Phase to Shine (Dark Forest) in the back. They look more alike in my mind than on the nails.
The Headless Ghost｜US$13.50｜15ml
Buckets of Boo
Next up, Buckets of Boo is a vampy orange base with red/gold/green crystal flakes and scattered blue/purple UCC flakes, inspired by McDonald’s Boo Buckets. This color may stain, so a good base coat is recommended. This has to be the most unique one of the collection! My swatches show it in 2 coats, but I like it very much in just one too. The orange base show through with the flakes scattered around the nails. Super cool!

Here Lies Betelgeuse
Here Lies Betelgeuse is a dusty olive green base with blue to indigo shifting shimmer, inspired by Beetlejuice. Opaque in 3 coats. Despite owning more than 800 polishes at the moment, this one remains pretty unique. I truly love the murkiness of it, and I think it would make a great combo with It Doesn’t Get Eddie Vedder Than This (Back to the 90’s Vol.2).

Can I Keep You?
Halloween won’t be complete without a glow-in-the-dark polish. Can I Keep You? is a clear base with pink/orange/gold/green shifting shimmer and subtle blue glow in the dark effect, inspired by Casper. Shown in 3 coats. It has the same shimmer as the fan favorite Butterbean (Harley’s Holo). If you miss Butterbean, here’s your chance to get something similar with a little bonus. In addition to Butterbean, I also included some other white shimmery shades to compare. Swipe to the left to see Reverie (Cheers to 5 Years), and Retro Roller Skates (Back to the 90’s Vol.1).
Can I Keep You?｜US$13.50｜15ml
Perhaps You Can Help Solve a Mystery
Last one of the collection is Perhaps You Can Help Solve a Mystery, a black tinted base with purple to pink to gold to green shifting shimmer, inspired by the original Unsolved Mysteries show. Opaque in 3 coats. This is such a super shifter, even shiftier than the picture can show!
Perhaps You Can Help Solve a Mystery ｜US$13.50｜15ml
Apart from the Jeweled collection, there will also be two other polishes launching alongside.
Free Fallin’
Next up we have a charity polish that will benefit Country Roads Animal Rescue Society in OKC. Free Fallin’ is a blackened base with red to orange to gold shift and scattered holo. This is inspired by Levy’s love for his frisebee. Taylor and family adopted Levy in 2020, and every year she raise money for the rescue they adopted him from. $6 of every bottle sold will be donated to Country Roads Animal Rescue Society in OKC. This is basically a one-coater. I did put on a second coat just to see how much difference it would make, but I can hardly tell any differences. 2 coats might give it a tad darker look, but I would gladly wear it in just one because this color is stunning and I want it to last as long as possible.
Free Fallin’｜US$13.50｜15ml
Bat to the Bone
Next up we have another glow-in-the-dark polish, Bat to the Bone is a shimmery gold to green shifting base with tiny bat glitters and green glow in the dark effect. I did 2 coats on its own for the swatches, but you can also use it as a topper. This polish is from the Polish for Paws series that Taylor started in January. She creates a polish for every launch to benefit an animal rescue. $6 of every bottle sold will be donated to Bat World Sanctuary. The bat glitters are so cute! It can leave a bumpy texture after drying, so I did use a glitter top coat underneath regular quick dry top coat. You can also use two coats of top coat for a smooth finish.
Bat to the Bone｜US$13.50｜15ml
Night of Frights
Last but not least, Night of Frights is a limited edition glitter bomb with linear holo, scattered black and orange holographic glitters, moon glitters, and star glitters. I swatched one thick coat of this over a dark purple. I’ve been really into chunky glitters, so this one is right up my alley. The moon and star glitters are the absolute cutest! It’s hard to tell from the pictures but the stars also have holo flares. I did a coat of glitter top coat underneath the quick dry top coat for a smooth finish.
Night of Frights｜US$11.50｜15ml
All of the above shades will be available for uncapped pre-order from 9/6 noon CT – 9/14 noon CT. Please note that the end time is noon this month instead of the end of the day. As always, you can get the whole collection (12 pieces) with a discounted price of $150.
