BB Couture Rhythm and Blues Collection Part 2

Yesterday I showed you the first part of BB Couture's newest collection, Rhythm and Blues. Here is the second half, the Men's collection, specifically the Blues. Like the name of the group, all of these are blue, six varying shades and finishes! The names are all blues songs, not gonna say I didn't know some of them, but I did look them all up to get more familiar with them and the vibe of the collection :)

Next is Stone Crazy, a periwinkle purpley blue with pink and blue shimmer. This is really beautiful, I absolutely adore it and I don't believe I have anything like it. This is three coats.

This is Hoochie Coochie Man, a pale almost white polish with a hint of blue. Small subtle silver shimmer. Lovely. I wouldn't have guessed this color from the name haha. Three coats.

Here is Back Door Man, a super metallic medium blue. I'm not crazy about this polish honestly, but the formula was great. This is two coats.

First is Ball and Chain, a medium dusty blue with pink and blue shimmer. This is a beautiful shade that applies wonderfully. Two coats.

Black Snake Moan is a great polish (and a great movie). This is a dark midnight blue with crazy large shimmer particles and some pink and blue sparkle. Two coats here.

And last is Boom Boom, a muted robin's egg blue with tiny silver flecks. This is very lovely and a great staple polish. Two coats.

The formula on these was excellent, I had much better luck with these than the Rhythm collection. These are available on BB Couture and Overall Beauty for $10.95 each. How do you like these? Which collection do you prefer?

BB Couture Rhythm and Blues Collection Part 1

Hi everyone! Happy Fourth of July my American readers, Viva USA! I have a new collection from BB Couture, Rhythm and Blues. The Rhythm part is the the regular cylindrical bottles and the Blues are in the square bottles "for men". Today I'll show you the first part of the collection, a group of six colors inspired by music. And YAY their signature blue handles are back! Their last few collections have had white or black ones. The bright blue metallic tops make me smile :)

First up is Dance. This is a lovely sky blue with super subtle glass fleck shimmer. This one was a bit thick, but not unmanageable. I have a few polishes similar but not the same. I love the shimmer flecks! This is two coats.

Next is Frequency, a surprising combo of light mustardy yellow and hot pink shimmer. I love BB Couture because this is something so unexpected but totally expected for this subversive brand. They are not afraid of doing unique! This was a bit harder to work with than I would like, it was streaky so I recommend painting slowly and with care. This is three thicker coats.

Here is Pattern, a pastel peach with a mod feel. I have never been lucky enough to have this type of color look good on me but this one almost works with my skin tone! I think it's the whitewashed base. This one was also streaky and thick unfortunately. This is four coats.

This is Tempo, another bright white based color, this time in pastel spring green. It reminds me of a kitchen mixer from the 50's. This one also has a thicker formula, but it wasn't quite as difficult as Pattern to apply. I love how this color pops against my tan! Three coats.

Beat is really something. I absolutely ADORE this shimmery green. Now this is a true "mint" green in my opinion, reminds me of a delicious mint chocolate candy or something. I don't own anything close to this color and I love the gossamer silver shimmer running through it. By far the best formula in the collection. Two coats.

And last is BPM, a metallic mauve pink. I can't think of anything I have that is similar, but I love it! The finish is frosty but not ugly frost, very pretty metalllic. The formula on this was thicker too and I had to take care to minimize brush strokes on application, but when it dried they weren't an issue. This is two coats.

You can get these from BB Couture and Overall Beauty for $10.95 each. They are all lovely colors, most of them quite unique. I do wish the formulas on a few were better. The stand outs for me are really Frequency, BPM, and Beat. What do you think of these?

P.S. how do you like my new watermark?
