Smitten Polish Seasonal Lattes

Press Sample

Hey everyone!

Today I have another lacquer from Smitten Polish today!  This one is from the Fall 2014 collection, and is aptly named Seasonal Lattes.  It's a dark chocolate brown linear holo that almost looks a little bronze.  Now I have shied away from brown in the past, but this gorgeousness here?  I may love it more than my pumpkin spice latte and that's saying something.

This applied nicely and was just slightly thicker than some other holos I have from Smitten Polish, but not in a bad way.

This is 2 coats.

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day, and if you aren't from the US, a great Monday!  Today I have for you the first part of Zoya's Fall offering for 2014: Entice.  It consists of 5 creams and 1 subtle frost.

On to the swatches!

Claire is a dark vampy burgundy cream.  Such a classic color to me.  No application complaints.  This is 2 coats.

Nyssa is a medium milk chocolate brown cream.  Brown seems to be the it color for fall this year.  It's been showing up everywhere!  The formula was a little thin, but otherwise perfect.  This is 2 coats.

Veronica.  Zoya calls it a wine color, but it's a bit lighter than that.  This had a great application.  This is 1 coat.

Margo is a "red plum" color.  Definitly a favorite.  A little thiner than the others but great application.  This is 2 coats.

Ryan is a dark navy blue.  Everyone needs a color like this in their collection.  This applied really well.  This is 2 coats, but you can definitely get away with 1.

And last but not least is Genevieve, a dark gray with hints of frosty shimmer.  This one was the most sheer of the bunch.  This is 2 coats.

Overall this is a nice little collection of classic creams and are perfect for fall.  My favorites are Margo, Ryan and Genevieve.  Do you plan on getting anything from this collection?

Hi everyone!

Today the Proud Beauty Bloggers of color have decided to show off in green!  I have another green holo from Smitten Polish (I showed you Electric Lime earlier last month).  Just like with Electric Lime, I'm in love.  Girl Sprouts is a gorgeous midtone green linear holo.  What's not to love?

Girl Sprouts applied really well, so no complaints there.

This is 2 lovely coats.
