It's no secret that I love Halloween and all things spooky. I am BEYOND excited to share a My Indie Polish inspired by a popular (and uber creepy) villain... Slappy the Dummy! If you're feeling a little nostalgia from childhood, it's okay I am feeling it too. I used to read the Goosebumps books at school all the time and might have even read the one about Slappy. This polish is extra special because it was made by the owner of My Indie Polish's son who loves Goosebumps. I'm obsessed with this shade and will wear it a lot in the coming months.
My Indie Polish Slappy was "pretty much conceived and created" by Tanya's son and then Tanya mixed everything up. Tanya's son is obsessed with Goosebumps and chose the villain Slappy the Dummy as his muse. Tanya says "I just mixed the base with his glitter and pigment choices." Tanya describes Slappy as "a black base with red shimmer, lots of glitters and a holographic punch. Other than mixing, pouring and bottling this polish was conceived and thought up by my son who is a goosebumps nut. Slappy is a menacing dummy and rest assured when he is around trouble will soon follow. Opaque in 2 coats."
I am wearing 2 coats plus top coat. This polish applied very smoothly and evenly and the second coat helped to perfect everything. The shimmer is so apparent on the nail as are the little itty bitty red microglitters and there are also some larger glitters that help to tie the polish together though they dry quite smoothly and aren't that obvious. I think Tanya's son has a bright future in making nail polish - this is really an amazing creation!
Slappy is the inspiration for this My Indie Polish and it's so spot on. I remember Slappy from when I was a kid and I was always so so so scared of him. "Slappy the Dummy is a recurring villain in the Goosebumps franchise. He is a living ventriloquist dummy that comes to life when the words "Karru Marri Odonna Loma Molonu Karrano" are read aloud; the words mean "You and I are one now", and they can be found on a sheet of paper in Slappy's jacket pocket. After coming to life, Slappy will try to make the person who brought him back to life serve him as a slave." (Source Goosebumps Wiki)
