Above the Curve Raziel - Swatches and Review

♥

This afternoon I have another great Above the Curve polish for you - Raziel!

Raziel is part of the Fallen Angel Collection and it might be my favorite so far because it's that berry color I just can't resist. And it's holo. What a great combo. 

(To see my swatches of the other polishes in the Fallen Angel Collection, click the name: Adriel, Diablos, Aurora, Fallen Angel and Risen Angel. I still have about 3 more from the Fallen Angel Collection that I will be showing you in the near future.)

*$1 of every bottle sold goes to Shriner's Hospital for Children!*

Raziel is a gorgeous raspberry holographic polish and had the same great application as the other polishes in the Fallen Angel Collection that I've tried so far. Two coats for full opacity (almost a one-coater) and no top coat for photos. Great formula and application. No issues to report.

AND!!! It was named by Jen's Nail Files! Check her out here on Facebook.

What do you think of this one? I think it's a toss up between this one and Risen Angel for my favorite of this collection.

Above the Curve polishes are available on their Big Cartel shop here and their Etsy shop here. You can also follow them on Facebook here to stay up-to-date on availability, new collections, promos, etc. The BEST part? $1 of every bottle sold goes to Shriner's Hospital for Children! Full-sized bottles retail for $9.00.

Comparison Request: Berry Scattered Holos

I've had a couple of requests for comparisons since I posted Jindie Nails Choose Me - with OPI DS Extravagance and China Glaze Hyper Haute...and I always try to accommodate if I have the other polishes and the time so here ya go! ♥

Berry Holo Comparison

Berry Holo Comparison

As you can see, China Glaze Hyper Haute is lighter and OPI DS Extravagance is darker. The holo particles are a little tighter and larger in Extravagance and a little finer in Hyper Haute. Choose Me falls squarely between them and personally I am happy that I have all three. Of course Extravagance was purchased before I went Cruelty-Free.

Hyper Haute is getting harder to find and Extravagance, aside from OPI not being Cruelty-Free it retails for around $12-$14. Choose Me is available at each shop re-stock and retails for $7.75 for a full-sized bottle.

What do you think? Do you need all three?
