Cover Girl Inferno

Cover Girl Inferno is from the Glosstinis mini bottle collection.  It is a gorgeous deep warm red with insane gold shimmer which can really be appreciated in the sun.  It has a nice formula, but the brush was a little square and moppy for my liking, making application a little more challenging than most.  The end result is amazing - wear this one on a sunny day!  Enjoy -     >^..^<



Chanel Rouge Carat

Chanel Rouge Carat is a nice slightly muted red shimmer.  Nothing special, but it has a pink shimmer in the bottle that doesn't really translate well onto the nail.  But nobody does microshimmer like Chanel, and the end result is a glowing effect rather than a metallic finish you get with some shimmers out there.  Enjoy -     >^..^<



OPI Cute Little Vixen

OPI Cute Little Vixen - another form the Mariah Carey Holiday 2013 collection.  A beautiful berry shimmer, application was nice - good formula, flowed nicely and built in opacity easily.  I like colors like this, so I approve this one!  Enjoy -     >^..^<



Zoya Monica

Zoya Monica - nice creamy opaque formula, topped with Fingerpaints Sparkle t/c 2013 on day 2.  Like this one!  Enjoy -     >^..^<





SpaRitual Spice of Life

Great formula, bad pic - very cloudy!   :(

Maybelline Brocades Ruby Refined

Maybelline Brocades Ruby Refined is a limited edition color I picked up a while back at Rite-Aid.  It's a midtone raspberry pink/red with gold microglitter / shimmer as well as larger hexagonal glitter pieces.  Application was very nice - good formula, nice brush, easy to control (a few larger glitter pieces tried to go astray but I caught them), and was fully opaque at 3 coats.  I wish the sun was out today to appreciate the gold shimmer, as it is intense in the sun, but alas it's snowing instead.  But it looks great in all lighting to be honest, and I'm liking it!  Enjoy -     >^..^<



OPI Wonderous Star

OPI Wonderous Star is yet another color from the Holiday 2013 Mariah Carey collection.  It is an interesting champagne gold / silver shimmer / microglitter with black hexagonal glitter that looks like pepper sprinkled on top.  Application was nice - it's a tad sheer, so it took 3 coats to be sufficiently opaque for me, but it went on smoothly and was easy to control.  It isn't quite gold, but it's warmer than silver... reminds me color-wise of Essie Beyond Cozy, although I'm too lazy to go look at the side by side.  :)  Enjoy -     >^..^<
