Shades of Meow Volume 3 Swatches

More swatches!  Here is the latest Meow Cosmetics  limited editon collection, Shades of Meow Vol: 3.

My battery was dying and I didn't know where the charger was so only closeups of my favourites, including one applied wet!  I don't usually try them wet because I'm too lazy to do that in my EOTD's but I knew there would be some crazy shimmer action if I did so.

All of these were swiped on top of TFSI and as always, click the pics to make them bigger for more detail!

I want: Swinger, Threesome, BDSM, Hot Wax and maybe Lascivious.  I have a billion greens already so I might leave that one behind.

NOTD ~ Vintage Green Sparkle

I make a pretty lousy nail blogger.  My nails curl, my cuticles are usually pretty beat up, I seem to always have one snapping off at the worst spot ever, and I can't figure out the proper camera settings to show it how I see it in real life. Also I don't really clean up stray polish because by that time, my face is already in a book or the dudeman just popped in X-Files and then I just don't care enough to finish.  But this combo needs to be shown!  Even with my lousy nail picture taking skills!

A England She Walks in Beauty is my current favourite top coat polish. I saw that a few months ago Sephora had a dupe called Ice Princess.  I wish I snagged it, A England polishes are kind of a bitch to get.  It's this lovely rose gold/greenish shimmer with light pink hex glitter in 2 sizes, if my eyeballs are working correctly.

And I'm always on the hunt for minty coloured polish and Rainbow Honey delivered!  Mint Flavor.  How I heart thee.

Here is my vintage type look. I say vintage because this reminded me of those super complicated looking nails where the person paints them teal/mint and paints roses on them to look like old wallpaper.  Only I'm far too lazy for that!

*note: ring finger actually has a different polish, I didn't like it and went with SWIB instead)





 Clooooseup
Femme Fatale's Veil of the Siren on the ring finger.  It's lovely but it looked more mermaidy than the vintage-type colour I was going for.

Yellow and Pink EOTD

I wasn't sure how this combo was going to turn out.  I knew I wanted pink and yellow but for the liner it was a choice between green or blue.  Green eventually won out but I'm not really impressed with it.
The liner is Lime Crime Citreuse and it's a nice bright green shade in the tube but seems to go on more yellow than green and then it dries to a hard chunky pain in the ass to work with formula.  The black liner I used on top kind of skipped on over parts.  Grrr.

Aaaaanyways, for this look I used:
TFSI Lemon Drop primer
Sugarpill Buttercupcake inner half of lid
Sugarpill Dollipop for outer half of lid
Urban Decay Tease in crease
Rimmel Spring Flower blush (the light pink shade in the compact) for the transition shade into the browbone
Burberry Trench on browbone
Shiro Cosmetics Tears of Retail Employees (disc.) inner corners
LC Citreuse with UD liquid liner on top.
