*Special Edition Post* A Girl Obsessed+The Walking Dead=Seriously Sweet Swatches!

And so the time has come...Finally AMC's The Walking Dead is back!  I'm super stoked :) I actually planned on having this post done after the show last night but I got sidetracked. Here's the dealio though... when I realized that Sam aka A Girl Obsessed had created a polish inspired by and appropriately named after my fave tv show and comic, I had to order a bottle! I totally rocked it for the mid-season premiere too ;) This is my second polish from AGO. If you're interested, you can check out my review and swatches on AGO's Faerie Farts here. So I was thinking it's the perfect time for a "special edition" post. My favorite show is back and I've got an awesome polish to commemorate...Why not dig Fartsey Faye up from her grave for the occasion? If this is your first time reading my blog, I'm sure your starting to hear those alarm bells go off in your head that warn you away from crazies. Well, ignore them. I've got some sick swatches to show ya mmmkay?


A Girl Obsessed 'The Walking Dead' is so awesome in a creepy kinda way. I love it! The jelly base is that sick green zombie skin color. There's also a fun mix of glitter suspended in the "zombie green" jelly that totally makes me think zombie apocalypse. Check out this bottle shot of TWD...
 You've got large matte red hex glitters to represent blood I'm assuming. Then there's large matte white hex glitters. These make me think of bones and teeth. I visualize a zombie munching on someone, ripping off chunks of flesh and exposing bone. Yeah, maybe I put too much thought into that. Oh well...You also have medium matte black hex glitters. They remind me of the overall grotesqueness of the undead, rotting corpses and all that good stuff. And then there's  medium brown/copper hex glitters. They make me think of the dirty grubbiness associated with a zombie apocalypse. No electric, soap makers, or running water means your gonna get dirty right? Now on with the review...



Once again I am very impressed by AGO's formula. It's a great consistency to work with, making it really easy to spread the glitters out, putting the large pieces where I wanted them. I didn't have to do any fishing either! I'm really happy with that. Seriously, the large glitters don't sink and there's the perfect amount of them. Half way through I did decide to close the lid and shake the bottle up a bit, but I was able to get large pieces without a problem. I used 3 coats of TWD with one coat of OTD topcoat for this swatch. Whatcha think?


And a closeup...



Of course I had to try The Walking Dead over another polish. So I figured a white base would really make it pop. It totally did too :) I'm a glitter glutton, it would have been completely fine with just 2 coats, but I wanted more glitter and more zombie green. Here's 3 coats of TWD over 2 coats of Pure Ice Superstar (white) with 1 coat of OTD topcoat...


Another shot, thumb included :)  Sorry, got my thumb a bit close but it's ridiculously hard for me to bend it enough to get it in the swatch photos.

The verdict on A Girl Obsessed 'The Walking Dead'...
An easy-to-spread formula and no fishing for large glitters makes it a fun and creative polish to add to any polish and/or zombie obsessed girl's collection! The awesome part is it's versatile. It's just random and unique enough I don't have to wait till Sundays to rock it :) If you're interested in purchasing TWD or any of the other AGO creations you're in luck! A Girl Obsessed is now live on Etsy! Just click here. Prices are very reasonable for the uniqueness and quality. I'll definitely be making more purchases in the future. Soooo, what do you think? Are you going to purchase TWD or some of the other AGO polishes? Do you have some already? Let me know, I'd love to hear (or read) your opinions!


And now it's time I close this post with a couple Fartsey Faye mutilations for your viewing pleasure!

  1. These are perfectly Walking Dead and LOL I loved your zombie family pics too! So awesome! Also thank you for using top coat! I was just bitching the other day that glitter without top coat looks lumpy and gross. This looks fab and streamline clean!
