Whisper Some Silver Reply

I know that it's been months, but I warned you about that.

I've been feeling inspired by one of my favorite musicals, Spring Awakening. The song lyrics have a number of colors in it, and I was inspired by the music. I'd like for this to be a series, but I don't know if that will ever happen. The first song is "The Guilty Ones". There's a line in it that says ...And whisper some silver reply. So I came up with this look. Sorry about the lighting, but I have an unsatisfactory camera situation.

 

• MAC Soft Ochre paint pot
• MAC Surf the Ocean pigment stack (the silver)
• NYX matte Black
• Wet 'n Wild You Had Me At Hello
• Urban Decay Gunmetal eyeshadow
• Urban Decay Creep eyeshadow
• Coastal Scents Warm palette
• Some Wet 'n Wild mascara
• Some Physicians Formula liquid eyeliner pen

 

Sorry there's no full face shot; I was too lazy to do this on more than one eye. It's hard enough for me to do symmetrical winged liner, much less thick, winged eyeshadow. Feel free to use makeup remover to make a sharp edge. Also, lining the edge with a light eyeshadow makes it pop more.

Wet 'n Wild Born Into Privilege

Wet 'n Wild Born Into Privilege from the Spring 2012 Coloricon Be Jeweled collection.

 Sorry, I could not get an accurate color photo for the bottle.

The next two pictures are Born Into Privilege layered over black.

It's more vibrant, though.

Duochrome glitter! What in the world could be better? I believe that this collection retailed for about $3 at CVS, but also keep in mind that the bottle is as small as it looks; only 0.30 fl oz as opposed to the usual 0.50 fl oz that nail polish bottles usually are. 

Born into Privilege is mostly a greenish-golden color.  Since it's a duochrome, though, it has a number of other colors in it.  Some teal at extreme angles, But mostly green and gold. Sometimes silver.  It's mostly that color glitter but then also has some larger hexagonal multicolored glitters too. Looks like a party on your nails.

Let's talk for a minute about the formula.  The formula is okay; perhaps a little thick. It could benefit from some thinner if you plan on layering it over black.  The brush, though, is terrible.  It's very big, rather fluffy, gets clumps of glitter on it, and is not smooth, rather, it's kind of frayed.  It definitely makes application a lot harder.

Overall, I like the color, the shift really isn't that prominent, the brush is crappy, and the nail polish is averagely priced.  If you want to try the color, go ahead, but the whole collection isn't as groundbreaking as it sounds.

Zoya Kissy

Zoya Kissy from the 2011-2012 Gems and Jewels collection.

Zoya Kissy, 3-4 coats.  I love this nail polish. It's a magenta-red bar glitter with a sprinkling of holographic bar glitters in it. I think that I also saw little red microglitter too. This nail polish is pretty shiny on it's own, but it needs a good two coats of top coat to make it smooth.  This is an absolutely gorgeous nail polish, and though it's a little sheer, I think that it's great, and it's really unique too.

Shimmering Shamrock

Of course, I go all out for holiday's, because they're an excuse for me to wear intense makeup to school, and people aren't allowed to think that it's really weird. Or at least not allowed to tell me. Unfortunately, this year, St. Patrick's Day is Saturday, but I probably wouldn't wear glitter to school anyway just because it's uncomfortable...
