AHHH...Riveting!

Riveting is a gorgeous burnt orange color from China Glaze. Riveting is from China Glaze's The Hunger Games Collection. When I first saw this color I knew it needed to be added to my lemming list. Love it. Riveting applied like WOW! It gave me no problems and the formula was great. It sparkles and shimmers and make we fall in love every time I look down at my nails. Pictures don't do this color justice. It is A-MAZE-ING!! Amazing!! I have nothing bad to say about this polish.

Check out the pictures below:

Since Riveting is so sparkly and shimmery I wanted to see how's it would look Matte. This is the result. One coat of e.l.f Matte Finisher and Riveting still shines! The Matte Finisher does tone down the shine of Riveting and it looks great matte-ified. :-)

I also love Luxe and Lush. This picture shows Luxe and Lush on top of Riveting. It looks like golden goodness when layered with Riveting. I love this combination!!!

Please comment with your ideas, thoughts and anything else you want to share.

Green, No Envy

Hey beautiful people, today I'm going to be comparing 3 polishes. I have been in love with Greens lately and I have no idea why. I have found some similar colors and I still wanted them. Can any one relate? The first one is Zoya's Holly. I know I've talked about this one before. I love Holly. She is such a beautiful green. Holly as we know is a opaque green with slight yellow/gold metallic shimmer. Holly is from Zoya's Gem and Jewels Holiday Collection 2011-2012.


 






China Glaze has two of the three I'm showing today. They are Holly--Day and Glittering Garland. Both are from China Glaze's Let it Snow Holiday 2011 collection. Holly-day is a dark holly green no shimmer no sparkle, but is just beautiful. Glittering Garland, on the hand, is filled with green glitter/sparkles throughout. This is probably my favorite color of the 3. It is just  beautiful.

Holly-Day:


I feel all three colors can be worn year round and not just around The Christmas/ Holiday season. They are all too gorgeous to let sit around and only use one time a year.
What do you think of these Greens? Are they too close? Would you have all three?
