The Midlands Collection

I’ve basically going to have a “Powder Perfect” weekend, because I have 3 or 4 posts to share with you over the next day or two – and they are all worth looking at! First up is Powder Perfect The Midlands Collection!

Powder Perfect The Midlands Collection Main

A little snippet from Powder Perfect about the inspiration for this collection:

The Midlands is a swathe of land that cuts across the heart of England. It is home to Sherwood Forest, a mysterious place that provided refuge for the legendary renegade Robin Hood & his merry men.

“Underneath this little stone

Lies Robert Earl of Huntington;

No other archer was so good –

And people called him Robin Hood.

Such outlaws as he and his men

Will England never see again.”

Roger Lancelyn Green, The Adventures of Robin Hood

Ready to take a look at this 4 piece collection?

“Robin Hood” is a rich Lincoln Green lacquer inspired by the cloth that Robin Hood & his merry men wore. The cloth is still made in the British town of Lincoln and is dyed using woad & weld to produce the unique green.

I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Maid Marian

Maid Marian

Is she a lady or a warrior? Handy with a needle or a sword? Maid Marian’s ever-changing character is reflected in this lacquer with a rich purple base filled with duochrome glitters that shift from gold to dark pink.

I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Watchful Nights

Who will you find creeping through the forest on this dark, moonless night? Are the lookouts awake? Watchful Nights is an inky purple polish with a crelly formula. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Nottingham

Nottingham

Nottingham is a colour as dark as the man’s intentions – a blackened navy blue polish with a smattering of silver holo. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Powder Perfect has such excellent formulas, her polishes are worth grabbing. All 4 shades were beautifully done and I love the inspiration and colors. I did use Powder Perfect’s descriptions for the polishes because I love the thought she put into them, and I agreed with her descriptions. Sorry about all the reflections in the creme/crelly shades though – they were SUPER glossy and I couldn’t avoid them with my set up.

Price: $10.50 – $12.50 Each
