Wet n Wild - Penny is a pinky/coral duochromatic eyeshadow. On my brown skin this doesn't look so pink and makes the perfect blush/highlighter combo that looks fantastic in the sun. I believe this eyeshadow is discontinued but can be found on ebay.

Milani - Fantastic Mauve is a mauve blush with lots of shimmer. I sometimes use this as a all in one blush and highlighter.

I have deep dark skin (Mac Matchmaster 7.0-7.5) so many bronzers for pale/medium skin tones will work as a highlighter for me.

Funky Pastel Gradient

Happy Friday everyone! The weather has been fantastic lately but I have really been drawn to darker shades lately so I decided to incorporate the two with stamping!

I started off with two coats of Wet n' Wild - Black Creme and using my Pueen stamping plate placed Julie G - Cabana Boy, Jesse's Girl - Julie G, and Zoya - Malia next to each other and scraped like normal to create a flawless evenly blended gradient image. stamped and added top coat.

Marbles for Polish - The God and The Mechanic

Happy Hump Day folks! Has spring weather arrived where you live? It sure has here in South Carolina. We have had amazing temps in the high 80s and low 90s for the past 4 days!
Today I have swatches from a new indie polish maker: Marbles for Polish.

The God has a sheer black jelly base with silver shimmer, small blue round glitter, small red hex glitter and gold shards. The formula was nice and glitter coverage was great with no fishing required. I layered two coats over one coat of Wet n Wild - Black Creme, and sealed with top coat.

 The Mechanic has a cherry red jelly base with small round and hex shaped gold holographic glitter. The formula was great with this polish and is opaque in two coats.

Marbles for Polish can be purchased on Etsy here and be sure to like their Facebook page.
