Sea and Sky and Fresh Green are the standouts of this collection IMO. You will love them!

Though I love purples but Sea & Sky seems to be my favourite of the bunch.

I really wanted to see them too when I was looking at the MES, but the hissy MA actually put them away before I could swatch a one. The other MA had put them out for me to see, but then the hissy one, after telling me I only had 1 minute to look at them, started putting them away when I was still swatching the MES. I don't think I'll be getting any of the l/s or l/g, but still would have liked to get swatches done for everyone. Sigh...
I really was in a bad mood until I got my California Dreamin'! That turned my day around!

I'm pretty sure I'm getting Hot Contrast and maaaybe Polar Opp.
My question, how is the mono sliver color in Polar Opposite? Is it just the run of the mill sliver??? Unique enough to have it????
Thanks.

Polar Opposites is very nice. Pretty unique IMO. The silver is a bright, light, frosty silver. It is brighter and more opaque than Electra. Rondelle may be close, but I have a feeling that PO is still more opaque and metallic-y. I am going to see if I can come close to a dupe by using Silver Fog pigment wet. If I can't come close, I will buy it.

I think it's got to be close to Silver Fog when applied wet. It really is a gorgeous silver. Very smooth and metallic.

Audrey, what do you think about this one for someone who doesn't have violet pigment? How did you like the other side?

I am wearing Silver Fog today, applied wet, with mixing medium, and for *me* it is VERY close to Polar Opposites silver side. Since I have a fullsize jar of Silver Fog, I will definately pass on PO now, but for those who don't, it is a gorgeous silver
Quote:
If you don't have Violet pigment, I think it will be a good investment. It is a beautiful rich midtone purple. I don't use violet all that much, so that's why I am passing. The other side is pretty, almost a peachy gold color when you swirl all of the veining together. If I didn't have anything close, it would definately be on my shopping list

That is the mindset I am sticking with. Unless it is so unique, like nothing I have ever seen, I am not getting it. A simple "touch of gold", "hint of pink", "bit of shimmer" won't be enough. It will have to be a major difference in formulation, or a major difference in color payoff from products I already own. I am standing strong on this, I swear!! |

Gasp - I love you Audrey, thanks for the review!
I think I might just want Love Connection (for cheeks; reminds me of Bloomsberry/Tigerlily) and Lil' Hot Pepper lipglass.

Okay I can def cross Polar Opposite off my list! Sliver doesn't look that great on me anyways. Too cool for me I guess. Soooo that means I'm only getting one!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
That means more $$$$ for Sonic Chic which is going to be my downfall.

It's not similar IMO. Silversmith is a medium grey and dark navy whereas Sea and Sky is a bright royal blue on one side and pale shimmery baby blue on the other. I have Silversmith and am getting Sea and Sky. In fact, I think they will pair nicely together

Now that you mention it, it does remind me a bit of that duo.

At first sight, I thought it would be great for a brow or cheek highlight, but IMO there is not enough color and too much frost to be a blush alone. It will definately work as a highlighter, but not as a blush.
