Smitten Polish has some awesomeness in store with this collection! It's full of holo and microglitter and just sparkle amazingness! The collection is releasing tomorow (Sept. 30) at 11 p.m. CT along with a limited edition duo benefiting the Black Mamba Anti Poaching Unit (more on that in a minute).
First polish I have to share with you today is Smitten Polish Can You BeLeaf These Puns and it is a stunning brown jelly polish filled with brown and silver holo microglitter. Now being that it is a microglitter polish, it is a bit top coat hungry. I recommend one coat of regular top coat (not quick dry) and then a quick dry top coat to smooth them out! Though this is a jelly base, it applied perfectly in two coats for opacity.
Next we have Smitten Polish Orange You Glad it's Pun-kin Season, which is a gorgeous orange jelly polish filled with orange and silver microglitter. This too only required two coats for opacity, formula was easy to work with. Microglitter finish requires the double top coat method I mentioned earlier. I just love the jelly/microglitter combo and Noelie really has perfected these polishes. They have so much depth and sparkly to them, so lovely!
I also compared this to last year's Halloween release Fire Burn so you could see the difference between the two. Orange You Glad (left) seems to be warmer leaning, with more red in it while Fire Burn has more yellow/gold tone to it. Also, I think Fire Burn does not have any colored microglittler, which makes it more metallic looking.
This next polish had me gasp when I put it on, this is Smitten Polish Something Wicked This Way Plums. This is a gorgeous plum colored holo polish with scattered micro glitter and the formula on this was AMAZING. This is a one coater people. A ONE COATER! So amazing and easy to work with and the linear holo with the scattered microglitter is just so absolutely lovely!
This is Smitten Polish Oh the Hue-Manatee and I just LOVE this name. Back when I was in grade school and I had to write an endangered species report, my animal was the manatee, they still hold a special place in my heart! Oh the Hue-Manatee is a charcol grey linear holo polish with scattered microglitter. To me it seems like this has just a bit more microglitter than Plum does. And just look at this polish, I don't have anything like it in my collection, it just stunning.
Now let's get to the awesome charity polishes releasing tomorrow as well! These polishes are benefiting a great cause and Noelie is a saint for using her talents to do good in the world. Let's see what she has to say about the cause:
Black Mamba and Poach-Busters, a pair of charity polishes to benefit the Black Mamba Anti-Poaching Unit. Black Mamba APU was founded in 2013, and is the first anti-poaching unit of its kind, since the majority of the teams are women. Black Mamba APU focuses not only on the physical prevention of poaching, but also on environmental education within their communities, as well as a social upliftment program that aims to address unemployment and skills development within South Africa.
The Black Mamba APU was the recipient of the UN's Champions of the Earth Award in 2015. For more information on this groundbreaking organization, please visit www.blackmambas.org. Black Mamba and Poach-Busters will be available throughout October, and $3 from every bottle sold of each of these polishes will be donated to the Black Mamba APU.

First up is Smitten Polish Black Mamba. This is a gorgeous black jelly polish filled with linear holo pigment and two sizes of holo microglitter. This polish is amazing, it's not just your regular black holo and it goes toward a great cause. This polish was also opaque in two thin coats and the formula was super easy to work with. Just as I've come to expect from Smitten.
And last but not least is Smitten Polish Poach-Busters. Similar to Black Mamba, this polish is a light grassy green jelly polish filled with linear holo pigment and two sizes of holo microglitter. I really loved the finish of these two polishes, all the microglittlers and holo finish give the polish such great depth! Opaque in two coats, this polish was also a breeze to apply.
So once again, these polishes go on sale tomorrow at 11 p.m. CT at the Smitten Polish website.
Which will you be purchasing?! It's so hard to choose, I love them all. But I do have to say Plum is a stand out for me, not just because of the formula but also because of the depth. Oh the Hue-Manatee is also a stunner, I don't have anything like it!
