BB Couture - Impact Driver [Picture Heavy]

A few weeks ago I won a little giveaway from Kim at Overall Beauty's Facebook page.  She wanted to give away a bottle of Impact Driver and I was more than happy to be the fastest commenter.  ^.^

I finally tried it on today and I must say that this was the exact polish I needed on my fingers.  I've been craving a colour like this for a few days now and it only just occurred to me that I had it in my stash.

Sun Set

Look at the light pink sheen in the bottle!!!

I'm just fawning over it now...

Bottom Shot!

I can't tell you guys how much I needed this polish right now.  I've been a little depressed all week- not sure if it was the weather or what.  I had one some sort of false 'happy' colours that just weren't working for me.  I can't wear something that doesn't suit my mood.  When I put this on not only did I think 'well it's kind of drab like me' but as it was gliding across my nail it started making me happy.  This polish was a dream to apply.  If I wasn't such a thin coater it would have been flawless in two coats.  I did three for good measure.

It's a grey- blue with glass fleck and a very subtle pink shimmer.  (don't worry guys, it's virtually invisible on the nail)

No base coat.  No top coat.  Thats right girls, I'm going (mostly) naked with this polish.  BB Couture boosts a 4 in 1 (base, colour, strengthener, topcoat) a in one and I'm using it to it's full advantage.  It dried to a lovely stain sheen (between matte and gloss) but if I ever get a matte TC I want to try it on this too.

So ladies... the above polish is why I haven't shown you Who the Shrek Are You? yet.

Na-na-na-na-naaaaa-na!

Get your bottle here!

First BB Couture Polish

Finally! Some pics to post.

Yesterday I received my first BB Couture polish in the mail. I ordered from Overall Beauty.com. Now I realise I completely suck at taking pictures of my own hand, and it doesn't help that it's always night time when I decide to paint my nails and take photos. And to all you long-nailed ladies, don't make fun of my stumpy nails, I had to cut them again last week because they are kind of brittle. /ramble

BB Couture - "Dragon's Breath":

Above and Below: Since BB Couture advertises a 4-in-1 (base, strengthener, colour, top coat) I didn't apply a base coat, and in these photos I am not wearing a top coat. Again, I'm sorry the lighting isn't capturing the colour of this polish properly.

Dragon's Breath is a gorgeous red/purple jelly based polish with red glitter, and a very subtle silver glitter mixed throughout.

Since all glitter nail polish tends to dry a little gritty for me, I decided to finally use my Seche Vite (pictured above) to make it nice and glossy. I've never used Seche Vite before and I was thoroughly impressed at how fast it dried and at how smooth it cured.

In my box I received some free samples from Kim at Overall Beauty. A sample sized mineral eye shadow in 'Prince' and some really nice quality nail clippers with a file. Not pictured are the nail clippers since I put them straight in my purse since I never have nail clippers or a file when I need them!

Pictured above and below: Overall Beauty Mineral eyeshadow in 'Prince' is a dark purple eyeshadow with excellent pigment.

I dipped my finger in the pot and that is the colour!

I was very pleased with the customer service from Kim at Overall Beauty and I love my BB couture polish so I know I will be returning to order more.

P.S. I will do my best to remember to get some daylight photos of this colour as I am a bit disappointed in how these photos turned out.

P.P.S I finally figured out how to set up the Blogroll feature, and don't be insulted if you don't see your blog on there! I just figured it out today so just drop me a line and I'll add you! :D
