First up, Rising Star:

Rising Star is described as a "lustrous glimmering gold".

Outdoors:

Rising Star matte:

Rising Star is such a bright foil, even matting doesn't alter it! Ooooo shiny!


Next up is Take the Stage:
Take the Stage is described as a "warm orange spotlight shimmer".

Outdoors:

Take the Stage matte:

Another one that's pretty both ways.


Third is The Show Must Go On!:

The Show Must Go On! is described as a "deep pink shimmer".

Outdoors:

Indoors:

The Show Must Go On! matte:

The Show Must Go On! was such a difficult color to photograph. The best representation of the color is the indoor shot. It's a lot like MAC Bad Fairy, but is supposedly not a dupe. It's got the whole pink with orange flashes thing going on too. That stock bottle photo, total fail. This color is really gorgeous and it's a shame the bottle shot doesn't better reflect that.


Fourth is Let Me Entertain You:
Let Me Entertain You is described as a "multi-talented fuchsia glimmer".

Outdoors:

Let Me Entertain You matte:

I actually liked this one better matte. It was a very bright, shocking pink.


Bringing up the rear we have Ali's Big Break:

Ali's Big Break is described as a "glowing red shimmer that breaks through in style".

Outdoors:

Ali's Big Break matte:

This color didn't impress me with the first coat. It went on pink, like really pink. It wasn't until the second coat when the Bob the Tomato red showed up. It's totally a perfect match to Christina Aguilera's lipstick she's known for wearing.


Finally we have Tease-y Does It:

Tease-y Does It is described as a "tempting burgundy shimmer".

Outdoors:

Tease-y Does It matte:

This one is much better in person than it looks in pictures. The stock photo sucks and doesn't show how pretty this color actually is. If you can, try it on for yourself. You have to see it in the sun, though. Indoors just won't cut it. Just saying, burgundy it isn't. Deep purple, it is.

These colors were OPI perfect; easy application, easy removal.
