1 coat over red

Last week I was at Walgreens and saw a display with Revlon's Transforming Effects. Matte Pearl Glaze sparked my interest most out of the group, so I picked it up and yesterday's red mani seemed like a great base to try it over.

 

I LOVE it! It needed just one coat, and it dried super fast. This would be a great polish to have in your stash to re-fresh and change up a day or two-old mani.

When I saw pics of China Glaze's Fall 2014 collection, All Aboard, I knew that Lug Your Designer Baggage was the first shade I wanted to try. Isn't is gorgeous? I don't have anything else like this in my collection- it's brown creme with gold flecks and a GREAT fall shade. The All Aboard collection is inspired by “vintage railway travel” which is a pretty cool theme.



Dermelect Fall/Winter Bejeweled Collection

Dermelect Bejeweled Collection

 

The Bejeweled Collection, new for Fall 2014, features four new hues "inspired by the rich and radiant pigments of precious gems."

 

Dermelect Lustrous

3 coats, topcoat added

Lustrous, described as "sparkling cognac" was gorgeous. I love the glass-fleck quality. I did find I needed 3 coats to get complete even coverage.

Dermelect Gilded

2 coats (intended to be worn without topcoat)

Gilded, described as "textured patina", in meant to be worn without a topcoat to show the texture. I really liked this one! I got pretty darn good coverage with one coat, but did 2 to make sure I had even coverage.

 



Dermelect Heirloom

2 coats, topcoat added

Heirloom, described as "metallic royal sapphire" is definitely my favorite in the collection! Do you see that gorgeous pink shimmer? Enlarge that pic and check it out- it is so rich and complex! 2 coats gave great coverage so I stopped there.

Dermelect Belle Epoque

2 coats, topcoat added

 

Belle Epoque is described as "deep, smoky quartz crème. This shade dazzled me the least, but it was  great quality. It's such a dark brown that it almost looks black indoors.
