Aaaah, after the storm always comes sunshine :D
Did you know the italian brand
Ever? I searched for a website, or a Facebook profile, but didn't find anything, so I really don't know what to say about it.
Italian girls may know it because it's a low end cosmetic brand.
I never liked their products simply because they never made interesting colours or so (we have Kiko for this :D), but few days ago I saw in a shop a clear plastic box full of new crazy coloured little bottles... You can imagine how it ended: me analyzing every bottle to check colours and finishes.
Result:
four beautiful bottles! (fourth one was bought when pictures of first three were already taken, that's why sometimes it's apart from others...)
Aren't these fantastic or it's just me? Could you imagine them layered (over blacks, blues, dark greens and purples, magentas, etc.)?
This is the n. 53, an "emerald-teal":
Three shades of blue and one green, all have AMAZING tiny DUOCHROME glassflecks from blue to pink/violet, how not to love them? ♥_♥
Even in the sun (upper half of next pic) :
And all together, sorry for the picture-bombing!
Given that I bought the green one after taking all these pictures, I swatched just the blues, but you can see they're different from one another.
In this quick swatch, n. 59 e n. 60 are three coats, n. 62 just two, but you could add a third coat to increase deepness of colour.
N. 60 is the sheerest, I would add a fourth coat, but it's perfectly wearable with three :>
Duochrome side is difficult to capture with my weak camera, but it's more visible to the naked eye and
in shade, trust me, it's really beautiful :>
They cost each €3,99 for 5ml: not the cheapest, I know, but I like Ever finally made something interesting and you can use them alone or layered, they are quiet versatile, so I recommend them.
There's even a fifth shade in that range, it's lighter than the n. 60, but didn't bought it, I found it to be similar to Pure Ice's "Heartbreaker" and it seemed useless to me to own that shade too.
I would like to advise any italian reader that they made many other colours, shimmery and cremes, including pinks, purples, even a version of
this Deborah, check Upim and Oviesse to find them!
Moreover, soldes are everywhere, as you know well; I had to hit a Kiko shop because I broke my glass file...
Well, I bought it, together with some other item... :P
Nailpolish is the n. 255, deep purple with holo glitter, fantastic in the sun!
If you have a Kiko near home, I strongly recommend a trip to it: polishes are discounted, that cream eyeliner is just around €5 (and I already own the emerald-green one, it's
so pigmented), lipstick is less than €7... Do I have to say more?
Have a nice day/night/whatever and thanks for your attention
;¬)
I then applied a layer of top coat, but nails mantained the texture, surface wasn't smooth and I LOVED it :D
You already can see from the picture above it looks like liquified denim in a bottle!
(daylight)
(in the sun)
Picture above show you the duochrome side, the colour of sparkles and the little silver flakies, I love how they look against the blue base.
You're looking at three coats of n. 24 and two coats of "Glisten Up!" = bubbles and thickness.
These are two coats WITHOUT top coat: I applied it after dinner (ok, around 1:00 AM...) and I didn't have time to top coat it too.
This is under a halogen lamp, so vibrant and more closer to the real effect :>
I searched for photos of Barry M's "Cyan Blue", but I don't know if it has the same effect than n. 295, but according to pictures, they are similar.
(n. 03 on the left, n. 24 on the right)
(n. 24 on the left, n. 03 on the right)
These pictures are almost my favourites too, at first I thought I couldn't capture all the colours and the effect I saw with my own eyes :>
It can remind you of "Bruise" from Urban Decay, but "Bruise" has a maroon/plum base, and its shimmer isn't so sparkly and vibrant as "Heartbreaker", and it's of a different colour...
Daylight, it's a colder light and manicure is amazing as well, if you don't feel the same, it's certainly because of my poor picture :D
"Heartbreaker" it's a jelly blue-aqua base filled with a fiiiiine shimmer which is duochrome from green-teal to a cold blue.
"Dark Purple" lasted on me from monday 27th to... Well, now it's 1:25 PM of saturday 2nd july and I've just taken this picture, you see I have only tipwear (and nailgrowth) on some nails:
VERY good hold!
It's perfectly useless, if you're here, to point you out the slightly duochrome glitters in the bottom of the bottle, don't you think?
Under various lights it could be colder or warmer, but always a GREAT purple.
This colour is so pretty, ok, but next post will be muuuuch better, as I'll show you one of the best combination I've ever tried *_*
