Antiqued soft gold-tan shimmer that does look a bit like old gold. A nearly neutral color, so even people who generally have trouble wearing golds may find that they're able to wear this one easily. It is a softer-looking shade that vamps up well when applied wet. I think that...
Part of the regular pigment lineup, so it's always available; and a very gorgeous gilded silver that shimmers without being a hard metallic. It's more of an ‘elegant glamour' than ‘hard bling' metallic. Adhesion is great, application is smooth, but this is a dryer pigment than other non-matte MAC pigments,...
This is a unique case: the phoenix that rose from the ashes. Aromaleigh had been closed, sold, and re-opened with new management, so I'm actually going to do this review twice: once for my memories of the store-that-was (partially so that people can understand the love that I and many...
I call this a creme, but there are faint, sparse flecks of copper and silver in this one. The finish is definitely not metallic, nor is it really a shimmer - what you see most of is the deep violet that's dark but doesn't look blackened. Macroviolet is part of...
This color barely shows up on me at all - I see the metallic-like finish, but not much in the way of a color. On the one hand...irritating. On the other hand...excellent!! I can use this for looks when I want to accent the crease color and brighten...
This color is almost a little too deep for my preferences; but I can lighten it a bit. It stays put with minimal touch-ups, and it's a very flattering shade for people with neutral or cool-toned coloring. (I don't know that this shade would look as good on golden skintones...
This will work best as a highlighter - it's very very sheer, it's a both a soft and a neutral color, and the most noticeable component is the shimmer. It reminds me a bit of Bare Escentuals' Pure Radiance, but with a tiny bit more brown and a much lower...
So dark a blue, it's almost black. I could probably get a good medium-deep navy, instead of a navy-black, by putting just one coat of this polish over something like Zoya's Shay - or Minka, which is too yellow-toned for me to wear by itself. Application was okay, it wasn't...
Not one of my favorite colors ever - but it's not so bright that it's absolutely unwearable. (Note, however, that bright lime green polishes and I traditionally don't get along well. If you love this shade, go for it. All of my objections are solely over how the color looks...
I ended up liking this color a bit more than I thought I would, based on the various reviews. It complements my coloring very nicely! The shade's been discontinued, so it's only available on Ebay and perhaps through a few etailers…but if you're fond of cooler medium olives, this...
