Essence Twins Romeo & Julia - Degrassi Showdown Finale Week

Super quick post for today!!

Things went down on Degrassi last night in a way I wasn't really expecting so I am pretty apprehensive for the finale this evening. Tonight is supposed to be the opening night of Romeo and Jules, a musical adaptation of Romeo and Juliet that stars two gay men as the lead characters. This play has caused a huge uproar amongst the students and parents at Degrassi so we're not quite sure that it's actually going to happen. I'm excited (and extremely nervous) to see what goes down in the season finale tonight!

In honor of Romeo and Jules, I thought it only fitting to wear my Essence Twins Romeo and Julia duo! This Essence duo is a European exclusive and I was lucky enough to have one of my overseas nail friends send me a few of these duos. Romeo is a smooth medium grey creme that took an easy two coats for full coverage. Julia, the square silver holo glitter, is most definitely the star of the show here!! I am kind of obsessed with square glitter and Julia is one of my favorites in my whole collection of square glitters. LOVE IT!

Here is one coat of Essence Julia over two coats of Essence Romeo. Enjoy!

And here's one in really low light because look at how awesome those holo squares look!

Here is the poster for Degrassi's production of Romeo and Jules. Knowing Degrassi, nothing ever goes as planned at it will be a small miracle if that play opens tonight!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Make Up Forever Black Tango polishes

Happy Saturday! Hope everyone's weekend is going swimmingly so far!

Today I have for you three polishes that my mom brought back for me from her most recent trip to Europe - the Make Up Forever Black Tango collection! I was so excited when I saw these polishes because first of all, I have no idea MUFE even made polish and second of all, because the colors looked amazeballs!

The Black Tango collection consists 3 nail polishes, all different colors of shimmer housed in a black base. When I first saw the bottles, I thought they were all going to be lighter than they actually were because the shimmer is so dense and bright! However, upon swatching I realized that the polishes were actually black but packed with an amazing amount of shimmer.  Ugh, you guys, these polishes are absolutely stunning!

Under normal light, the polishes don't look quite black but like a deeper version of their shimmer color. Then when put under a bit of bright light, BAM, in your face with that shimmer! The MUFE Black Tango polishes are definitely unique to my stash and are probably some of my favorite vampy polishes that I own.

My mom picked these up at a Sephora in France, and I'm not sure whether or not this collection is coming to the US. Application was flawless, they glided on smoothly without any major problems. The pictures here are two coats but you could probably get away with one thick coat if you wanted. The only downside here is that the bottles are pretty small so I will have to use these bad boys sparingly. Overall an amazing collection and I can definitely see myself reaching for these this fall and winter!

First up in Noir a Reflets Bleu (Black Blue Reflections). The shimmer in this was so dense that it makes the base appear almost navy blue in some lights, but this one has the black base like the others. Here's two coats of MUFE Noir a Reflets Bleu.

Next is Noir a Reflets Vert (Black Green Reflections). The green in this is more of a forest green as opposed to a true, grassy green and I absolutely love this one. YUM! Here's two coats of MUFE Noir a Reflets Vert.

Last, but not least, is Noir a Reflets Rouge (Black Red Reflections). This one is my personal favorite of the bunch, there's nothing like a deep, vampy red polish and this one is my absolute favorite of any of the ones I own. Again, this one has the black base again but with a lovely burgundy-red shimmer. Here's 2 coats of MUFE Noir a Reflets Rouge.

Don't forget to englarge the pics to check out that fantastic shimmah!!

One last shot of all the bottles lined up together.

Thanks for the awesome polishes mom!

Have a great day everyone!
