Blush: Lover's Duo

The Lovers Duo from Blush is inspired by Cathy and Heathcliff's profound yet tempestuous relationship in the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. The polishes are named after two of Victoria's favorite lines from the novel.

From Cathy:
"He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."

Whatever Our Souls Are Made Of
An ethereal sandy beige base with a glowing green to a ghostly whitish-blue to red-violet shifting shimmer, holographic pigment and holographic flakes.

Beautifully shimmery and sparkly, quite sheer so I am showing this in three coats. It is lovely in just one or two coats as well. Blush's brush is nothing short of amazing and their formula is top notch.

From Heathcliff:
"I fought through a bitter life since I last heard your voice, and you must forgive me, for I struggled only for you.

I Struggled Only For You
A dark brooding charcoal grey, nearing black, nail polish with fiery flecks of red to orange to gold shifting multi-chrome flakes, holographic pigment and holographic flakes.

The linear holo and flake combo have me. Two coats shown with topcoat.

Blush Lacquer: Is Butter A Carb? (HHC)

Blush is releasing their HHC polish for pre-order on Tuesday, January 14th at 12:01am EST to Tuesday, January 21st at 11:59pm Hawaiian time at www.hellahandmadecreations.com

Is Butter A Carb?
A marsala nail polish with tones of brown, a shifting pink-orange-gold shimmer, holographic flakes and gold flakes.
No cap

Do you remember when this shade was Pantone's color of the year? I had to go look that up, it's 2015! This color is still a beautiful and trendy shade, so warm and inviting during the winter months. Shown is 2 easy coats with topcoat.

And of course, I can't do a Blush review without mentioning their super soft fan brush! Blush was the very first and only indie brand to offer this brush several years ago, and now it's become a trend. I'm super happy about that! If you haven't experienced their brush, there's no time like the present!

Beating The Odds
a purple to pink duochrome polish with pink flash.

I love the shimmer in this polish and how it shifts between two beautiful shades.

Fight For Your Life
a Dark Rose pink holographic polish.

Such a dusty rose shade and the subtle holo adds a touch of sparkle that shines under different lighting.

All polishes are shown in two coats with topcoat, have good formulas and are easy to apply. Chrissy is a wonderful person and contributes to society in more ways than beautiful polishes, I'm happy she is a survivor.
