by Lisa Heath

Any Game of Thrones fans around?  If so, I have just the collection for you!  If not, that’s ok, you’ll still love these gorgeous shades I’m about to show you!

Fandom Cosmetics is releasing a 12 piece Game of Thrones inspired collection today named The Book of Houses. Tonight is the season premiere of Game of Thrones, so what better day to release the collection?

This post is fairly picture heavy, so lets get down to it!

Hear Me Roar

Hear Me Roar

Hear Me Roar is a deep opaque red with holographic red, burnt orange and gold shimmer.  It also has small holographic gold glitters in it that spark off a rainbow of color when lighting hits just right.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos.

Growing Strong

Growing Strong

Growing Strong is a green crelly base filled with holographic gold shimmer and shreds.  I did have to manipulate some of the larger shreds to lay flat, but overall I think it was only 2 pieces that I manipulated.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos.

As High As Honor

As High As Honor

As High As Honor was my #1 from this collection.  This is an opaque navy blue creme with holographic gold and blue shimmer and micro glitter within in.  I was expecting this to leave a blue stain on my nails, but it didn’t, which was an awesome surprise.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos and it’s a very rich and sparkly shade!

I decided to layer Family, Duty, Honor over a black creme and see how it looks… I liked the outcome.  This is just 1 coat of Family, Duty, Honor over a plain black creme polish.

Yes my nails are nubs for just 2 polishes in this post.  No I don’t really want to talk about it as I’m still grumbling to myself over having to file them down this short.

The Hunt Is All

The Hunt Is All

The Hunt Is All is a vibrant yellow creme base filled with gold micro glitter and small matte black hexes and a dash of silver shred glitters.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos.

Overview

So many lovely shades in this collection!  I love all the shimmers and jellies, and my top picks are definitely As High As Honor, Fire and Blood, and We Do Not Sow.  Aside from manipulating some of the larger shred pieces in Growing Strong, I had no application issues with these shades.
