BB Couture For Nails

I just got my first BB Couture for nails polishes, and I can't believe I have never tried these until now. They are too cool! I got four of the colors that appealed to me, and I'm already plotting my next BB Couture Purchase...

Here are the ones I ordered:



Dragon's Breath. This is a purple that leans very red and it's studded with multicolored glitter. The glitter in this is very fine, and you can see a lot of different colors in it. When you step outside with this polish on, it practically starts on fire! I mean, not literally of course, but the flash and fire from the glitter is breathtaking. Very cool polish, very cool name.




Frosty Meadow. This is a light, fresh, slightly blue-tinged green with a slight jelly texture and very fine silvery blue glitter. Like Dragon's Breath, the glitter in this polish is very fine but it packs a punch. It's a very spring-like green but unlike other spring shades, this one has personality!



Poison Ivy. A medium green creme. There can never be enough green cremes! This one is kinda strange- it looks at least a shade lighter in the bottle than it does after it dries on the nails. I've seen this happen with a lot of polishes before, but rarely with greens. It's also a little bit dull without a topcoat. I adore the color and I'm dreaming up all sorts of good layering combinations to go with it.


Sea Of Cortez. One of the most beautiful polishes I have ever seen. A bright blue jelly with super fine pale green glitter. Even if you're not into glitter polishes, you still have to be able to admire the beauty of this polish. It's just.... mesmerizing! In fact, after I took this picture I left the polish on and I'm still wearing it! I might need a backup!

Overall, I am really loving BB Couture. For a brand I've never heard of and know absolutely nothing about, they sure shocked the hell out of me with their awesome colors!

Formula-wise, these polishes aren't perfect. They have three-free syndrome, being both thick and runny at the same time. Poison Ivy was particularly difficult to apply, it wasn't the smoothest creme I've ever used. This issue with the formula is easily fixed with a little bit of thinner, so I don't mind. The colors are worth the slight difficulty of application. They do dry very quickly and they seem to wear well- no basecoat or topcoat and I still have no chips or tipwear.

The line seems to be comprised of a lot of boring pinks and reds, but with a few awesome colors like these tossed in there. From what it looks like, each new collection is more and more interesting, so maybe there will be more amazing colors like this in the future. I know I'm definitely going to try more of these polishes. They are awesome, and the fun colors they have are not like any others I own. I admire companies with unique colors, and BB Couture For Nails has definitely earned my love and admiration!
