Both of today's polishes come from the lovely Amy over at Small Budget Beauty. Starting with what I'm fairly certain was two coats of Deluxe Chocolate. It kind of looks like I only managed one, though.
See what I mean? To be honest we were catching up on the first season of American Horror Story and I may not have been paying complete attention to which coat I was on... lol Still a lovely chocolaty brown with some nice shimmer. Dried super fast, I'm sure of that much. lol Also, it does make an nice contrasting base for It's Real 18k Gold Top Coat!
I always thought it was funny that pyrite (fool's gold) looks exactly like what you would expect gold to look like, but real gold is this stark, cartoony yellow. This is only one coat of 18k and I think that's a nice amount of coverage. It dried quckly and the sparkle!
I'm trying hard to clear off my little table here, but I'll be leaving this out for St. Patrick's Day. What could be better than real gold accents?! It's too perfect.
So did anybody else get caught up in the ILNP pre-order madness yesterday? lol I had to sit here queued for 20 minutes to order Reminisce. So pretty!! Tomorrow I've got some awesome Finger Paints lined up for ya. You've probably seen the new flakies by now, but that's never stopped me before. Come on back if you want to see how Abstract Attraction looks on my fingers. lol (^_^)"/"
Ooo 18k looks fab over the brown! I still have not used mine because I don't know what I want to pair it with LOL
ReplyDeleteOMG! You have to! Do a skittles. That way you don't have to decide. ;)
DeleteLOL I like the way you think!
Delete^_^ *curtsies* lol
Deletesuch a pretty top coat! looks gorgeous over that base.
ReplyDeleteI'm not usually a fan of gold, but I'm definitely glad to have this. Can't wait to see it over some other colors as well. ^_^
Deletei am so jelly for the 18k gold topper - thou i wish it had bigger particles :) but the combo with the brown in amazing :)
ReplyDeleteThey are a little bigger than I thought they were going to be. I'm thinking this way it will at least feel like it lasts longer. lol
DeleteOooh, can't wait to see how you use it for St. Patty's Day. How fun with real gold.
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome, right? I'm going to have to come up with something REALLY good.
Delete20m waiting heheheh they sold a lot then. Love the topcoat.
ReplyDeleteSome girls had to wait over an hour! I would say that was definitely a successful pre-order for them. lol
DeleteThis is too gorgeous!! Regretting not getting that mariah carey one :S
ReplyDeleteAw :( polish regrets. I'd still like to get the Zoya one. So expensive, though...
