BBAC 2012: Day 19: My ABCs of beauty blogging

Zoya’s Shimmer

A fairly straightforward effects “top coat”. The effects are fairly thick, and they end up muting the color beneath quite a bit. Nonetheless, if you have (for example) a deep navy or a dark vampy red that you want to tone down a little bit, this could be a good...
