TKB Trading’s Yellow Oxide

TKB Trading’s Yellow Oxide

Posted on Monday, at

TKB Trading is a wholesaler, which means that you can get straight oxides from them as well as the various micas. I really wanted a yellow that wasn't gold or pale yellow, and that was just this sunflower/harvest shade, so I broke down and got the straight yellow oxide....

A soft silver-grey, nearly metallic but not quite. The opacity is a little less than I'd like; but the color blends well. The blues and greens, the jeweltone shades I've gotten from My Pretty Zombie have all been above-average to fairly good. The whites and greys…have not thrilled me...

Originally I thought this had been released in a pub- or English-place-name themed collection…but nope, I was wrong about that.This was released in 2005 before I became a regular-ish customer. Newcastle is a brown with a lot of gold shimmer and sparkle. It's almost like the golder cousin of...

Meow Cosmetics’ Eternal glow powder

Meow Cosmetics’ Eternal glow powder

The primary shade is a sheer plum with some brown tones and gold shimmer. It's not an easy one to classify...but it's definitely cooler. It isn't quite as purple as I expected, when I apply it; and since this is a glow powder rather than a blush, the color...

This one doesn't have much color payoff, and the color that it does lay down doesn't stick around for very long. Which is sad, because I like this shade! It swatches as a tanned coral with gold shimmer, but on my lips it looks a lot pinker. I really like...

OPI’s My Private Jet

Apparently, the first version of this was a black holographic polish. I do not have that version, but the re-released version that contains multicolored shimmer…but it's barely dense enough to be noticeable, let alone holographic. It's a nice enough formula, but it's not a deep black, more like a...

Tan nail polish is problematic for me. If it's too yellow, it really doesn't look good on me. It can make my hands look red (see Going Nude, Eh for an example of a tan nail polish that Doesn't Quite Work.) I was interested in the three colors in this...
