![]() If I liked kids, I’d have babies with it. Is my forehead hot?īottom Line: I bet you expect me to extol the virtues of Emerald Fitgerald and don’t get me wrong, it’s a great green but I’m all about Midnight Mission. I don’t know if I’m on purple overload or what but this just does nothing for me. The uber-glassy finish is mesmerizing though it actually looks a bit darker than this in person. It’s even more fantastic in person and will give SSN a run for its money.įirst Class Ticket’s frosty indigo base is saved from being labeled as a brush stroke madness thanks to the purple shimmer. All I have to say is Starry Starry who? I’m not dissing the man, the myth, the legend but Midnight Mission has a serious leg up on that dc’d gem in pigmentation and sparkle power alone. The deep denim blue frost is jam packed with silver micro-glitter and dries to a glassy, smooth finish. Midnight Mission the perfect starry midnight sky blue. Regardless, it’s green and that’s for me! There’s definitely a strong blue undertone that keeps it from being a true emerald. This isn’t an emerald as much as it is a dark teal green or pine hue. The semi-sheer glass-flecked base has been replaced by a dense frost with a veil of metallic shimmer giving it a more intense look. I find Emerald Fitzgerald to be the fall version of Watermelon Rind. Now as much as I love this color I think it will be very polarizing in that a lot of fanatics with pink undertones will find it unflattering. It feels very cozy with an injection of glamour. In the bottle it looks like a cashmere coat liquefied but when the sun hits it, the gold brings the color to life. In the buttery yellow beige creme, the gold flecks are much more apparent than in Ingrid. Like her Hotsy-Totsy sister Ingrid, Classic Camel is a creme polish packed with glass fleck looking micro-glitter. I needed two good layers of top coat to make it smooth. I think if the base had been more jelly-ish it would have encapsulated the glitter making it more glass flecked looking. The only downside to this polish is that the glitter rises to the surface creating a bumpy surface. Riveter Rouge is a rich burgundy frost packed with silver and red micro glitter. As much as I wanted to like it, the inconsistent application and brush stroke madness were not to my liking. Anyone know of a shadow this color? Like I said above, Goin’ My Way has issues. Actually I would LOVE this as an eyeshadow. It’s as though a milk chocolate bar was sprayed with a fine gold dust. It straddles the line between bronze and brown. Goin’ My Way is a deep bronze metallic shimmer. The rest applied flawlessly in two coats. It required three coats and was a bit too streaky for my liking. It’s got metallic tendencies in a bad way. The lacquers in the Cat’s Meow set have excellent pigmentation and a smooth, even consistency with one notable exception. The cap is slightly tapered and made of smooth plastic that is comfortable to hold. Thankfully when China Glaze looked to the 40s for inspiration, they pulled shades from all aspects of that decade to bring us the colorful Cat’s Meow set from the Vintage Vixen collection.Īpplication and Formula: China Glaze is a 3-Free brand with a round brush that is both medium in length and firmness with enough give to allow for ease of control. As we all know, there is more to life than blood red talons. Though what the ladies of the 40′s seriously missed out on is nail color. The pin curls, the heavily powdered and made up faces, the structured clothes. ![]() I wouldn’t want to live in that time but I’m completely fascinated by the style and beauty of that era. ![]() In spite of the fact that women were called “dames” and “broads” there’s something about the 1940′s that intrigues me.
