Shu Uemura Egerie

Every bit an English Lit major back in school, I spent A LOT of time reading flowery fiction and pulling symbolism outta my arse. Showers weren't merely showers; they signified rebirth. 🙂 Missing the bus didn't simply mean I'd be late for class; it foreshadowed a late dinner, which in turn was my hungry soul's cry for real life experience! LOLZ…

Mayhap this underlying need I accept to find swell significance in everyday things is why the ii new blast enamels in Shu Uemura'southward Egerie collection (Pink and Black, $xviii each) remind me of the sweet and sour sides of this crazy thing we call love.

I blame Valentine's 24-hour interval. 🙂

Are you and Cupid on good terms this yr? If so, consider warm Pink, a salmon with a bear upon of pearl. It's a sweet, innocent pink, like the gooey rush of getting to know someone new.

Patience is a virtue when it comes to Pink. It goes on thick and a touch streaky, but less so when I use it slowly using thin layers until I reach an opacity I like (I used 3 layers for the swatch higher up).

At present, however, if yous and Cupid are on the outs this V-Day, keep your mentum up (been there, washed that, homie!), and reach for Black to evidence the globe that LOVE BITES!!

I actually don't know why they named this colour Black because it looks more like a deep gray with squeamish silver sparkles to me.

I approximate "black" has a better ring to it than "deep gray with dainty silver sparkles," ha!

Semantics aside, I think the color rocks, and I really like the finish — sort of a hybrid of a jelly and a matte polish. Oh, and y'all know how virtually glittery polishes tend to feel and wait gritty once they've dried? — Black doesn't (the silver glitter is incredibly fine). 🙂

And it doesn't take much to get full coverage, either. I used but two coats for the picture above.

Overall, I'thousand sold on both of these polishes. They seem right at home with Egerie'due south '80s rock-in-ringlet vibe, but if I had to choose just one, information technology would have to exist Black. I thought it was easier to utilize and more unusual than Pink (but it's a tough call!).

Your friendly neighborhood dazzler addict,

Karen
