Cirque Colors Vice 2017 Collection

Press Sample You might have noticed I changed my backdrop a couple weeks ago to a holographic one (actually many holographic ones) and I’ve been enjoying it. The metallic backdrop is adding a brighter look to my photos, but I was worried about neons, but I’m actually finding it’s helping them! I got to test it today when I worked on the Cirque Colors Vice 2017 Collection! This year’s Vice collection consists of 6 bright cremes and a holographic topper. I don’t own any of the previous Vice shades, but I kinda wish I did. They all look so pretty! This newest collection is just as nice too. These are limited edition shades and new to the Vice lineup. The only one that isn’t new is the holographic topper – We Trippy. That one seems to have been in all previous Vice collections. Let’s take a look at what the…

Girly Bits June 2017 Color Of The Month Duo

Press Sample It was in the 100’s today, but I spent the day swatching in air conditioning! My son spent the day with his father, so it was just me and Nick relaxing, watching Netflix, and working on projects! First up from my swatch session is the Girly Bits June 2017 Color Of The Month Duo! I’m kinda loving both of these shades, but the berry one is the one I have to say people need. It was my favorite – but of course you should grab both. If you grab them during the “early bird” period you get a small discount on them. The Early Bird special is good through June 25th. Let’s take a look! What The Hell Was I Thinking? What The Hell Was I Thinking? is a berry shade that has a pink to gold shift with silver holographic micro flakes mixed in. I used 2 coats…

DIFFERENT dimension Americana Collection

Press Sample of DIFFERENT dimension Americana Collection It’s going to be a hot weekend here, so we’re cranking up the air conditioning and staying indoors. It’s suppose to be 100 today and about 109 tomorrow. Ugh. We’ll be taking my son swimming in a bit though to help cool off. In the meantime, I have some swatches of the DIFFERENT dimension Americana Collection to share!

Since this trio is limited edition, once it’s sold out it will not be restocked again – so get it while you can! Let’s take a look! One Flag, One Land One Flag, One Land is a gorgeous red linear holographic polish with added holographic microglitters and the larger linear holographic pigment for ultimate sparkle. I used 2 coats and…
