Colors by Llarowe - Her Eyes Shined - Limited Edition benefiting the National Kidney Association

Press Sample 
*This product is Cruelty Free 

♥


I have another polish from the new Colors By Llarowe brand to show you! This one is a glitter jelly from the Missing You Collection called Her Eyes Shined and the proceeds from the sale of this one benefit the National Kidney Association. This is a Limited Edition polish.

Her Eyes Shined is a turquoise green jelly polish with turquoise and blue micro-glitter. This polish can be worn alone in 3 to 4 coats or layered. I have some photos of it alone and layered over black. I didn't have any issues with this one, but it does apply like a jelly, so if you wear it alone, you will need several coats. One coat of Poshe top coat for the photos.

Maya Cosmetics No Big Deal and Smolder

Right now I have two of the newest polishes from Maya Cosmetics for you: No Big Deal and Smolder.

All I can say is she was totally wrong with one of the names and totally right with the other. No Big Deal IS a big HUGE deal and Smolder certainly is smouldering.

First up, No Big Deal. This one is described as a green-leaning charcoal gray base with blue and green/gold/blue color-shifting micro flakes. Application was smooth and easy and the formula was a dream to work with. No issues to report at all. I used two coats of polish and one coat of Poshe top coat for the photos.

Smolder is definitely smouldering! This one is described as a blackened plummy brown with pink/red/bronze shimmer. This one had the same smooth formula as No Big Deal. Application was perfect and I have no issues at all to report. I used two coats of color and one coat of Poshe top coat for the photos.

What do you think of these two? I am a reformed glitter-hater, but a great creme or shimmer will capture my heart every single time. I love them both and can't pick which I like best.

Maya Cosmetics polishes can be purchased from their shop here and be sure and follow them on Facebook here and Twitter here to stay up-to-date on restocks, availability, new releases, etc. Also be sure to check out their blog for more information and swatches.

KBShimmer Shipwreck - Swatches and Review


It's FRIDAY! This morning I have another polish from KBShimmer to show you - Shipwreck.
Shipwreck is a pretty blue/teal jelly glitter polish that KBShimmer describes as follows: Ships lost at sea, churning waters, mythical creatures and lost treasures inspired this polish. I started with a base of a deep blue green color. Then, added several sized of hex glitters in teals, blues, greens, and purple. I can almost see these colors being on a beautiful mermaid. A hint of gold, and a pop of copper sparkle like hidden treasure add depth to this polish.   
This polish went on smoothly and easily and I used three light coats without "underwear." The glitters all came out nicely with no dabbing or fishing and they all laid perfectly flat on the nail. I used one coat of Gelous for these photos.
