Today, since I only worked for two hours, I've decided to give myself a much needed manicure. After moving to Tokyo, I've had to learn how to do my own nails (and I still have a lot of learning to do!).
As I was rummaging through my polishes, I came across Revlon's Cocoa Shimmer; I don't know how but I totally forgot about this one.
Cocoa shimmer is a pinkish bronze with pink and green sparkles. I wouldn't say this polish is a douchrome per se, but there is this pretty pinkish/reddish sheen to it (wait, doesn't that make it duochrome???); odd since the sheen doesn't show in the bottle but appears once appealed to my nails.
Unfortunately with day is still cloudy and gray. I tired to capture the pinkish/reddish sheen but the image came out blurry. Well, at least you can see some of the green and pink sparkles in the polish, not a total fail.

Two coats need to achieve the same color in the bottle is all you

Cocoa Shimmer is a lovely summer color as well as transition into fall shade. Unfortunately, this polish was a limited edition shade but I did go online and found a few on ebay : )
I'd like to know what some of your favorite polishes for fall.
Looking gorgeous one lipstick at a time
This is a beautiful shade <3 I love dusty shades of plum and brown right now... Barry M Mushroom is a gorgeous one too <3 I also like to layer a sparse chunky glitter over a creme and then put a matte topcoat over it. It makes the glitter appear to glow rather than sparkle and it looks really classy and beautiful. <3 Amy x
ReplyDeleteSame here, loving my browns and plums :) the fall weather is slowly creeping in, but still a bit to sunny for my favorite deep fall/winter colors. Also, thanks for the tip technique, Sounds as if the end result would look beautiful. Must try it!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I found the revlon cocoa shimmer on sale on ebay and the seller has a good rating and does ship international(if your interested)
