HARD CANDY SPRINKLES

Welcoming May with Sprinkles!



One of the latest trends for Spring is the sprinkled, stucco look. Primary leader in this trend is Deborah Lippman with her staccato collection. Being on a budget I opted for Hard Candy 's Sprinkle's collection I was swayed by reading the review by [{ warmfrenchonionsoup }] and decided to pick up only two colors (trust me, this was hard.)

Glitter Gradient - Spring Edition!


Pollen, Gold, Oh My! 




Spring is fresh in the air, all allergy prone persons can attest to this! Thankfully, I am spared from the potent allergens this year. Though I couldn't help but be inspired by the often depicted yellow pollen irritants!

butter LONDON SUMMER 2013 bespoke collection

img crd

butter LONDON teased on the runways with soft metallics and now they have finally released their summer 2013 collection! The title is "bespoke."

  • Sunbaker: rust orange shimmer
  • Champers: rose gold shimmer
  • Poole: robin's egg blue creme
  • Bobby Dazzler: opaque silver chrome
  • Marbs: yellow-gold named for the city Marbella in the Mediterranean
  • Bit Faker: tan glitter, inspired from the tan one can get from a can (o.O)

I actually am really looking forward to "Champers," "Bobby Dazzler," and perhaps "Marbs." Poole feels a bit too similar to "Fiver" and O.P.I "Can't Find My Czechbook" but only swatches will tell.  I'm a bit curious as to if Bit Faker has noticeable green glitters (like "Scuppered" ) or not. If it doesn't I may have to pick it up as well.

Most summer collections feature bold bright cremes. A classic red, orange-red, or a nice gold are somewhat expected. I am excited to see how soft these metallics are --I was hooked from the Instagram photos!

Looking forward to this collection? Yay/Nay?
