BB Couture For Men – Drive Shaft

by carinaeletoile

This color looks a bit coppery, a bit peach, a bit pink and a bit bronze on me – all around awesome sauce. It does lean slightly towards the warmer side so I have to be careful about what I wear with this.

BB Couture has, once again, nailed it with their formula. Two applications and this didn’t bubble. If only all polishes could be like this. Polish brush isn’t jacked up like that-company-that-shall-not-be-named. ;)

BB Couture – Signs of Spring

by carinaeletoile

Another BB Couture polish – yay! :)

I love shades of blue like this. This particular one is a creme with some very fine glitter in it thrown for good measure. I’ve received a bulk of nail polish from BB Couture and I find I am never really happy with their glitter polishes. I don’t know what it is and I can’t put my finger on it, but it bothers me. I don’t want to make them sound like amateurs, but I definitely prefer their cremes and their shimmers but not the glitter. Sorry for all the BB Couture fans out there. I don’t mean to upset you.

BB Couture – Horned Devil

by carinaeletoile

I loved this color. In the bottle.

I complained about a color by China Glaze (Strawberry Fields) that aged me and freaked me out to no end because it really made me look like crazy old South Beach, FL, lady. This had a similar effect, but I felt it was Los Angeles, CA, old lady. I kid you not, I swear that this color brought out every single line and never-seen-before line out in my hands. My hands looked wrinkled. Decrepit. LEATHERY. Leathery. Seriously. How does that happen?

Pity the color sucked on me because application was flawless – it’s a jelly base flecked with fine silver glitter. The glitter isn’t so abundant that it overpowers the polish. It is distributed evenly with the brush strokes. I did two coats. See the pictures below!

I think the shade shot is much prettier than the sunlight. It got washed out. :(

BB Couture For Men – Universal Joint

by carinaeletoile

I am starting on yet another green tangent. I love this green. It’s rich and it’s brought to life even more with the shimmer running through it.

BB Couture got it right – this is fast drying and a dream to apply. Thank you, BB Couture – you make me happy.

I felt this color looked best in the shade, but in sunlight it also held up pretty well and didn’t look washed out or diluted.

It looked like a silver shimmer running through it in the top picture, but when in the sun it looks gold. I like that!
