Christmas in July - Maybelline Brocades Part 2

Thanks for coming back for part 2 of the Maybelline brocades. These are from Holiday 2013 and are all textures.

Here is a link back to part one.

All are three coats, no top coat, varying degrees of textures.

Onward!

Maybelline Color Show Gilded Rose (760)

This is a favorite. Gold glass fleck shot through with lavender glitter.  It also iridesces purple and pink and has such a lovely quality that it is hard to describe.

This is quite lovely, love it a lot.

Reminds me of 18th century silk brocade. Magnificent.

Maybelline Color Show Embellished Blues (755)

Beautiful navy with a blurple glitter dowsed in a gilded glass fleck. More of the bubbly texture than the glitter texture.
I think it would be a battle to smooth out with a top coat. Ironically one of the few that is of this kind of texture that is shiny. Such a mixed bag.

Maybelline Color Show Ruby Refined (795)

Another win. Bright ruby red with a lot of gold. This feels like a beaded fabric: lush, luxe.

Do you feel Tudor magnificence of a Hans Holbein painting in this polish? I certainly do. 

Maybelline Color Show Emerald Elegance (790)

Gorgeous green on green. Love it a ton! It is, honestly, what I wanted in a lot of holiday glitter polishes: coverage, Christmas-y, and in your face. :D

Maybelline Color Show Lavish Lilac (750)

Possibly the most favorite of mine. Just stunningly understated. Goes from a soft cool gold to a more yellow gold, then the lavender glitter shows some that is more reddish purple and some that is more blue purple.

The dreamy feel of a Fragonard garden. Oooh. Aaaah.

This is a collection with a lot of wins and some less than thrilling polishes, but as a whole, it is quite beautiful. Many things for my different tastes.

Thanks for reading my little nail polish journal!
