Man Glaze Cabron and Black Cat Lacquer Black Hole

Feast your eyes on Man Glaze Cabron: a shimmery matte in a deep blackened indigo purple shade. Very dramatic, and totally stunning. As we've come to expect, the label art is amazing. 




On a side note, whenever I pull this lacquer out I immediately start humming this song (which is a great bonus to owning this polish, now that I think about it):


Finally, I've got a few glorious snapshots of how Cabron looks with Black Cat Lacquer's Black Hole layered overtop; you might recall that I first showed this one on my blog here, but failed utterly at choosing a winning layering combination. I'd say that problem has been rectified here, wouldn't you agree?

A-England Princess Sabra / Black Cat Lacquer Black Hole

I must say, I have never been let down by an A-England polish. Another amazing colour with a flawless formula. Princess Sabra is a gorgeous golden-olive with a linear holographic effect. This was such a dream to apply and wear... it just feels effortlessly chic. 




I decided to attempt an accent nail with Black Cat Lacquer's Black Hole, although I think a different base colour might have helped it pop more. Love the holographic black diamond glitter in this, though. The bottle looked amazing in the sun (somewhat visible in the second picture).



What do you think of A-England's Princess Sabra? Can you think of any other possible pairings for Black Hole?

Finally, I'll leave you with a few details about a recent purchase; every holiday I look forward to holiday-themed scents. Philosophy is a notable one for putting out delicious-smelling shower gels, and this year I couldn't resist their "Cookbook": a set of four scented shower gels in Old-Fashioned Eggnog, Buttered Rum, Cinnamon Buns, and Peppermint Bark.



I'm happy to say that all of these smell delicious, and I've especially been enjoying the eggnog and buttered rum scents... because it's basically a perfect start to the day when I can roll out of bed, jump into the shower, and come out smelling like rum.

Black Cat Lacquer - Tetris and Let Them Eat Cake

Tonight I've got a couple Black Cat Lacquers to show you! First up is Tetris, an assortment of multicoloured square glitters in a clear base; I can see gold, red, blue, green, and purple in this. All in all it's a fun polish, and the metallic squares really stand out. Really cute! I layered this over a deep grey- I think it might have been Nubar Palisade. 



I also have Let Them Eat Cake to show you; this is a delicate mixture of pastel glitters and tiny white glitters. I chose to layer it over Lime Crime's Milky Ways from the Lime Crime Desserts d'Antionette collection- a very fitting combination! Below you can see it at one coat- I like how it looks here, just delicately speckled. 



At three coats:



I'm a big fan of choosing fitting lacquers for correspondingly appropriate occasions- in this case, I wore Let Them Eat Cake to see the movie "Farewell, My Queen" (a movie about Marie Antionette and the days leading up to the French Revolution, as told through the eyes of a servant). Here is the trailer if you're interested- it was quite good!


What do you think of these two glitters? Have you seen the movie "Farewell, My Queen"?
