Beauty Tips for Women: Cirque Colors – Ghost In The Machine (LE)

I was so happy to get my hands on the Meta Collection from Cirque Colors. I used Ghost In The Machine for this manicure. Cirque Colors describes it as “a shimmery chameleon that shifts from green to blue to purple”. I certainly agree with their description. I actually find the whole collection mesmerizing. I used Born Pretty Store plate BP-L003 stamped with Rica – Whiteout.  Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 611 Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 612 Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 613

Beauty Tips for Women: Combination Review of Sinful Shine – I’m Blushing and Essence – Let Stars Rain Down On Me! top coat

I purchased Essence Nail Art top coat in Let Stars Rain Down On Me! It claims to be a holo-glitter polish. The bottle needs to be shaken because all the glitter particles settle at the bottom. It looks very pretty, so I was hopeful that it would deliver.

I decided I wanted to pair this with Sinful Shine – I’m Blushing. This polish was horrible. I have several Sinful Shine polishes and have never experienced such horrible formula issues. It streaked and had bits of black particles in it. I did two coats and it still did not look good and I did not want to invest in more coats to fix the problem. I hoped that adding the holo-glitter top coat would help. So here is where I finish my review of Let Stars Rain Down on Me! Stars do not rain down. I applied 4 coats. With a sponge and without and this is all I got. I was not impressed at all with this top coat.

To help salvage this manicure I decided to do some stamping. Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 600

Not crazy at all about this manicure.

I give Sinful Shine I’m Blushing, one brain. I hope that this simply was a bad batch and that others do not experience the same formula issues I did. BRAINrate1

I give Essence – Let Stars Rain Down On Me! top coat, zero brains. Don’t waste your money on this at all. It simply does not deliver on its name or claims.  BRAINrate0
