Over the Garden Wall is a must-watch every October. With candle-lit evenings filling the room with autumnal fragrances-an amuse-bouche for the spooky season before I delve into darker fare.
There’s something hauntingly familiar and comforting in the animated miniseries-where the atmosphere is steeped in childish whimsy and eerie old tales, and every pumpkin seems to be watching.
Garden Path Lacquers’ You’ll Join Us Someday is inspired by the second episode of the series, Hard Times at the Huskin’ Bee (one of my favorite episodes). The polish’s namesake-instantly, I hear Enoch’s foreboding voice echoing that ominous and unsettling promise.
A clear base laden with black, iridescent red and orange flakes, red/orange/gold UCC flakes, and holographic microflakes, this polish evokes the rustic harvest festival, pumpkin-costumed townsfolk, and the disturbed earth of the fields. The formula entrances with its smooth, even application. You’ll Join Us Someday is playful yet eerie-a delicate balance of mischief and suspense that perfectly captures the mood behind both the episode and the polish.
Wearing You’ll Join Us Someday feels like stepping into The Unknown itself-flickering candlelight against carved pumpkin faces, and whispered tales that linger in the shadows.
