Serum No 5 Reflective Multichrome Flakie Toppers Swatches & Review

by Lisa Heath

Press Sample

I told you last night in my review of Serum No 5 New Ewe and January 2015 that I had more shades to show you that will be releasing on January 16th!  Remember Flashing Lights?  Well, Serum No 5 has worked the formula a bit so it can now be layered over other shades and still have the reflective quality!  Not only can it be layered, but it now has multichrome flakes within it too.

I did all of these shades on their own for the main swatches so you can see what they look like on their own.

The reflective glitters will not be as strong as in Flashing Lights, and they are a bit more scattered – but still just as fabulous.

Power

Power is probably my favorite of the 3!  Power is a blue to violet to fuchsia to copper multichrome flakie mixed in with reflective pigments.  I used 2 coats for these photos.

Overview

The reflective glitters aren’t as vibrant as the original Flashing Lights, but I do love that these can now be layered and the addition of multichrome flakies add a little more oomph to the line.

To make the best out of these new toppers, here are some tips:

  • No top coat should be used, it prevents the light from being reflected in the dark
  • To get the best reflectiveness, the toppers should be worn one coat on its own without base or top coat.
  • If layering to be opaque or to wear over another color, apply a matte top coat before applying the last layer of the topper.

These seem really cool and I like the reflective-ness! I’m not crazy about them though and would probably pass on picking them up.
