Shiro Cosmetics’ Pikachu / Shiro Cosmetics’ Thunderbolt

A lovely bright yellow. I held off on getting this initially, because I thought: “I've got Aromaleigh v1's Rocks! Sonic Eyes yellows, and I've got some bright yellows from other collections and companies; I don't really need another.” Apparently, I have little power to resist a really good primary color with a twist.

This color has the rich sun-yellow base color, a good level of pigmentation, and the very definite red shimmer. I don't know if it's because the red is mixed with another color of shimmer/mica - possibly yellow - or if it's just more sparse; but it seems that the bits of red shimmer are easier to visually spot when I either pat this color over primer, or when I foil it. Foiling really fronts the red shimmer quite a bit. I love the way this looks!
