BaronessX: Snow Leopard

Snow Leopard is a fluid art/spotted style of nail polish. The polish was released on Jan 24 and is live in the shop.

Snow Leopard
Bright white fluid art nail polish packed with a twinkling shimmer. This polish creates the spotted effect as seen in fluid art nail polish designs.
I went for a beachy vibe with this nail art by using two neutral creams and a vibrant blue cream. I love how it turned out!

Super easy to use, I dropped a few cream colors on a mat, then dropped a couple of drops of Snow Leopard, then I folded the mat to smoosh the polish twice and let dry. After it dried, I applied like a decal. This is the second time I've done fluid art and I'm pleased with how easy it was to get these results from the BraonessX polish.

No topcoat used, as this has a semi-gloss/satin type finish that I wanted to show.

kbshimmer Let It Beetle
Inspired by the multichromatic Cetonia aurata beetle.
Starting with a bright gold shimmer, this sparkly shade quickly shifts to a bold green. Hues of blue and aqua dance on the edges and in some lighting, the gold gives you subtle hints of soft pink. This shade is best in 2 coats or 1 coat over a darker cream.

Such beautiful polishes and delicious smelling scrub! Let's give it up for these brands, shall we?

Blush: Lover's Duo

The Lovers Duo from Blush is inspired by Cathy and Heathcliff's profound yet tempestuous relationship in the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. The polishes are named after two of Victoria's favorite lines from the novel.

From Cathy:
"He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."

Whatever Our Souls Are Made Of
An ethereal sandy beige base with a glowing green to a ghostly whitish-blue to red-violet shifting shimmer, holographic pigment and holographic flakes.

Beautifully shimmery and sparkly, quite sheer so I am showing this in three coats. It is lovely in just one or two coats as well. Blush's brush is nothing short of amazing and their formula is top notch.

From Heathcliff:
"I fought through a bitter life since I last heard your voice, and you must forgive me, for I struggled only for you.

I Struggled Only For You
A dark brooding charcoal grey, nearing black, nail polish with fiery flecks of red to orange to gold shifting multi-chrome flakes, holographic pigment and holographic flakes.

The linear holo and flake combo have me. Two coats shown with topcoat.
