Good morning and happy Sunday! Today I have some gorgeous sparkly shades to share with you from the Powder Perfect The Upper Kingdom Collection that I received from Color4Nails to show you! I also have the Powder Perfect Anniversary Trio I’ll be sharing with you all a bit later today!

The Upper Kingdom Collection consists of 5 beautiful microglitter filled shades. Here is Powder Perfect’s description of the inspiration for the collection:

Ancient Egypt was a land divided in two. Two kingdoms, with two Pharaohs. The Upper Kingdom stretched from the first cataract of the Nile, all through the Nile Valley until it met with the Lower Kingdom of Egypt; sprawling all the way to the Mediterranean Sea.

Let’s take a look, and remember to read to the bottom for a 10% off code to use in the Color4Nails shop!
