Hardcore Cosmetics Swatches & Review Part 2

Hello hello! Last post I reviewed several pretties from Hardcore Cosmetics - today I have the rest of them to share with you all!

Oceans is an aqua teal with gold shift and shimmer. Very pretty! The shimmer is really strong, and really makes it glow. As with everything in the last post, no issues to report application-wise.

Mother's Little Helper is a warm light purple with turquoise shimmer. I really like this color, just my kind of purple! The shimmer contrasts really nicely with the base as well, very pretty. Again, no trouble with application.

Kerplunk is a rainbow glitter topper. I layered it here over Mother's Little Helper. Great application, plenty of glitter that spread evenly over the nail in just one coat - no complaints! Always love a new rainbow glitter.

Warning is a hard color to describe, it's a smoky chocolate brown shimmer with a strong pinkish mauve shift. Incredibly pretty shade, and great for fall! I love brown polish this time of year, and the pink shift makes it really special.

And that's it for my Hardcore Cosmetics polishes! As I said in the last post, I was really impressed with all of them. A lot of great complex shimmers with awesome color shifts and sparkles; very pretty! Enjoyed working with all of them :)

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.

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.

outdoors, shade - again, why so grainy?

 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!
