This safari themed collection has two cremes and two shimmers in the mini set (and two other colours only available in full size):
Left to right we have Don't Feed The Hand Models, Caught With My Khakis Down, Yes, Your Lioness and I Don't Bite. The first two are cremes, the orange polish has a faint shimmer and I don't bite is a shimmer fest :-) Let's start!
Flash shot of Don't Feed The Hand Models shown above. This was three coats and might have been possible as two using a full sized bottle/larger brush.
Sunlight shot of Don't Feed The Hand Models above. Few nudes have come out this year and I quite like this one. Whether it's better than Essie's Topless & Barefoot, you be the judge... this one appears slightly darker and more brownish.
Flash shot of Caught With My Khakis Down shown above. Comparable to Chanel's Khaki Vert; lovely and opaque with 2 coats.

Flash shot of Yes, Your Lioness shown above. If you look at the full size version of this picture you will see the faintest shimmer. It's so pretty, I love this colour. 3 coats shown above.
Daylight shot of Yes, Your Lioness shown above. Shimmer is slightly more prominent in the sun. Gorgeous.
Flash shot of I Don't Bite shown above. And here we have the reason I purchased this mini set :-D It looked much more purple online and while it's not quite what I expected, it's damn pretty. It is described as a 'soft purple'. And notice the microscopic holo glitter @_@
Daylight shot of I Don't Bite shown above. I tried to capture the glitter in the fading Canberra light. The sun is setting so early in winter :-| This was two coats and the formula was a dream. What I mean is that it went where you brushed - it wasn't watery and did not go all over your nail while you eagerly reached for your nail corrector. Best formula of the lot.
And here we have Giraffe Print! I was slightly inspired by the pretty orange of this collection and decided there was not enough giraffe print out there in the nail art world ;-) I used two colours from the collection - Base of Yes, Your Lioness with Don't Feed The Hand Models as the print pattern.
Well that's all I have tonight, I can't believe how late it is @_@ Too much Farmville, tsk tsk Leanne. Hope you all have a lovely weekend and if you're in Australia, are enjoying your long weekend, I know I am :-D Until next time my lovelies...
I love the look of "Caught With My Khakis Down" & the Giraffe print nails are lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove these - Where do you order them from?
ReplyDelete@Vintage Thank you! I quite like the name too :-P
ReplyDelete@Vita I got this set on eBay although I imagine you could try hopshopgo or sites that offer similar services. I will be going to many Sephoras while on holidays in a couple of months so I'm pretty excited to stock up :-D
