A really gorgeous deep purple holographic, simlar to China Glaze’s IDK. Application went smoothly, with full coverage and full linear holographic effects in just two coats. This polish and Beyond both had the same issue: the holographic effects are indeed linear, but they looked just a teeny bit sparser....
I don't know for sure that I'd call this polish a duochrome. More like a duotone: there's a base color, and a complementary (or contrasting) top effect-color. Still, duochrome or duotone, it's a pretty combination! The base is very similar to Zoya's Jo, but a bit cooler. And the top...
These three shades are not available through the regular line, and this kit is marked as limited edition…so once these kits are gone, these colors are gone. None of these three colors is available in the regular collection! The yellow-green shade isn’t one of my favorite, but I...
I admit it. I’m a sucker for metallic nail polishes. (Straight metallics, not things like “metallic holographic” which gives you a result that is kind of metallic but not, and barely holographic except in direct lighting. But I digress.) This collection is fairly small, but wonder of wonders, it...
A wonderfully rich yellow-gold sparkle, with a very similar base color to Equal Rights (minus the complementary pink sparkle.) This is another yellow from BFTE that promises color depth, and delivers it. This color is right on the border between having greenish tones and not. It's neutral enough that just...
A softened tangerine with coral-pink tones! I love this color - it's like a punk pink. It looks amazing on blue eyes! If you need just the bare hint of the orange, just use a fluffier brush to apply. I can see pairing this with Sweet n Spicyfor a nice...
It's a soft pink with some buff undertones, and more of a shimmer finish than a pearl. A good “basic” color that's not an all-out girly pink. As with all of the NYX Pearl Mania shadows, if you don't apply it over a primer you'll get major fade and drift.
When I first saw the collection images, I thought that I'd be least impressed with this lip color. It's sheer, just as advertised; but it also has a milky creme finish that's fairly strong and it turns out that I like how that looks, more than I like the semisheer...
A light, rainbow-sherbet pink creme that's nearly sheer. It fits with the overall theme of the 60s Retro collection, and has no shimmer finish. It's a very clean color. I didn't like this shade as much as I thought I would. I think that has to do with its semisheer...
