Hardcore Cosmetics Swatches & Review Part 1

Hey guys! I have a new brand to share with you guys today! I received a bunch of pretties from Hardcore Cosmetics to review, so I will be splitting them up into two posts. On to the first one!

Dig is a warm tan-brown with gold shimmer. Love this one! It's such a flattering shade of brown, I love how warm it leans. Really reminds me of a sunny patch of earth! Application was great, no problems.

1 coat KB Shimmer Clearly On Top

Crush is an orange-red shimmer. I adore how bright this one is, it's a fantastic shade of orange-leaning red! (or red-leaning orange...who can tell?) Application was great here as well.

Heaven is a rose gold shimmer. The shimmer and shift here is lovely, you can see in the sun shot how it leans pink on parts of the nail - very pretty! Very heavenly for sure - reminiscent of the golden gates to me. Once again, no application troubles!

Haunted is a light blurple shimmer. Gorgeous color! I love how you can see little bits of pink sparkly within the shimmer. Once again, no troubles with application!

Rain Song is a sheer teal jelly. Very pretty color; I love jellies, and as I've mentioned before VNL doesn't really bother me with jellies as long as application is even. It is pretty sheer though so it does take quite a few coats to build up.

Eyes Without a Face is a teal-tinted base with assorted teal and aqua holo hexes. It's layered here over Rain Song. This is a perfect combo, by the way! They complement each other well, by being similar colors but still allowing the glitter to shine.

 And there you have it for part 1! I was quite impressed with all of these shades; the shimmers especially. I usually think of glitters or more recently holos as what indies have to offer, so it is always fun to come across a good complex shimmer polish.

Look forward to a few more from Hardcore Cosmetics in my next post!
