CoverGirl Glosstinis in #RavingHot

CoverGirl Glosstinis in #RavingHot

2 coats

from the Ready, Set Gorgeous display

 

Although CoverGirl does not have any info about this collection/display on their website, even under "New Releases", Nouveau Cheap does have some pics of the display. Quite a few products are featured- foundation, powder, concealer, and new shades of Smoochies, Glosstinis and Flamed Out Shadow Pencils.

 

I found the display at my local Walgreens and checked out the Glosstini section- the polishes are labeled either "Glossy Days" or "Glowing Nights" (the display says these glow under black lights). Since I haven't had a black light since I was a kid in the 70s, and am pretty sure I won't be at any clubs with one either, I decided to try one of the Glossy Days shades for just $2.99. (I also used a $1 coupon from the P&G coupon insert from the Sunday paper, making my cost $1.99.)

 

I just love these little bottles- at .11 fluid ounces, they are quite tiny, but I don't have any problem with the brush. I was super pleased with the color- Since it's a jelly, I've got some VNL showing, but I wasn't bothered because the shade is so bright and cheery.

 

Have you tried any of these shades? I'd love to see what the Glowing Nights shades do!

Rogue Red is part of the CoverGirl + Hunger Games Catching Fire collection. Since I am absolutely obsessed with Hunger Games (already bought my opening night movie ticket!) I was so excited to see this collection!

Seared Bronze was the first shade I bought from this collection, and this weekend I picked up four more at Target since they were just $3 each.

Note that Glosstinis are definitely in the mini bottle category at just .11 ounce. I didn't have too much trouble with the brush, although it was short as mini bottle brushes tend to be.

I did need 3 coats to cover my visible nail line. At two, it was very apparent in the sun that I didn't have complete coverage.

If you are interested in seeing the rest of the collection, KarenD has swatches of all 9 shades in this collection.

You can really see the different shades in this macro shot. It's gorgeous. Some bloggers are saying it's a dupe for OPI Warm & Fozzie from the Muppets collection, but I think this one has more depth, especially in the shade.

Seared Bronze is part of the CoverGirl + Hunger Games Catching Fire collection. Since I am absolutely obsessed with Hunger Games (already bought my opening night movie ticket!) I was so excited to see this collection!

Seared Bronze is used in the District 2 (Masonry) look as well as District 7 (Lumber).

I am thinking I need to look into getting all the colors in this collection since I'm such a fan of the movie.
