Crackle Glaze Color Combinations

I’ve already been sampling some combinations I can do with the new China Glaze crackle polishes. These are so much fun! I’m sure there will be more to come.

China Glaze Crackle Collection

Stopped in my Sally’s last week to see they had the China Glaze crackle polishes! I was SO EXCITED. I was originally planning to get Black Mesh and Crushed Candy, but they didn’t have Black Mesh and I just couldn’t resist Broken Hearted once I saw it.

L-R: Cracked Concrete, Broken Hearted, Crushed Candy

Swatches with flash

These are seriously the coolest nail polishes EVER. They are pretty easy to work with and they start cracking immediately. Plus there are so many possibilities of color combinations! I have a feeling I’ll be wearing these a lot. Hopefully you can find these at your Sally’s, but I expect they’ll go really fast!

L’Oreal HIP Eyeshadow Duos

 

Here are some swatches of L’Oreal HIP Eyeshadow duos. Some of these I picked up during the CVS clearance and others I had already.

L'Oreal Hip Shadow Swatches 1

Flamboyant and Adventurous. I’ve had these awhile and have depotted them. The yellow is fantastic – easy to use and has really great color payoff. The beige is pretty good, but it’s fairly close to my skin tone, so it mostly adds a little shimmer, which is nice. I really can’t get either the pink or purple to show up much, which is disappointing.

L'Oreal Hip Shadow Swatches 2

L-R: Cheeky, Charisma, Reckless

The only real disappointment out of these three is the dark purple in Charisma. It just doesn’t show up well. The lighter purple in Reckless also looks much cooler – almost as though it has a duochrome effect – in the pan than swatched. It’s still a good color, but it looks different. However, the rest are pretty awesome. Cheeky is one of my favorites.

L'Oreal Hip Shadow Swatches 3

L-R: Devious, Sassy, Flashy.

These are ALL amazing. The light shade in Flashy is too close to my skin color to really show up, but works well as a highlight or cleanup in a look. Sassy is definitely my favorite of all the ones I have. Both colors show up amazingly well and are different than anything else in my collection. Devious is nice as well, especially the coppery color. I have green eyes and I think it compliments them nicely.
