Celestial Descent by BG Cosmetics

As promised, today I have another polish to show off by Bitch Glitz, aka BG Cosmetics. 

Today's polish is Celestial Descent, "an opaque yellow cream, strewn with red, yellow and white glitter and flitter that looks like celestial rays of sunlight on your nails." 

This is not a creme polish. It is very shimmery, and almost frosty when worn layered on itself, as shown above- three coats, topped with Seche Vite. The "flitter" is a fun addition, though- sheer white satin shards :)

As much as I (surprisingly!) liked the pale yellow on its own, I decided to try to layer it as well, and wow! This is one coat of Celestial Descent over NYC Lexington Yellow, and I can't get enough of it! I always feel odd wearing yellow polish, as it is not at all complementary to my skin tone, but I just don't care! It's so bright and cheery, and this combination has me thinking spring for sure! 

This polish applied like a dream, either way I wore it. There is one shard glitter on my ring finger in the very first photo that I could not get to spread out and lay flat. Other than that one, rogue glitter- perfect.

Alone, it is a very pale, buttery color with a ton of shimmer and a touch of frostiness. It is very unobtrusive- pale and polite without being a basic nude or pink. Layered over a light yellow creme, it packs such a springtime punch. I truly can't wait for all this snow and ice to go away! 

Bitch Glitz polishes, as well as a few eyeshadows, can be purchased on Etsy. Full sized polishes run $10, while four piece collections can be purchased for $35- great deal if you want the whole set! Be sure to like Bitch Glitz on Facebook as well!

Candied Pillow by BG Cosmetics: Swatch and Review

Indie alert! Today's polish is from brand new indie, BG Cosmetics. BG, if you're not in the know, stands for Bitch Glitz. Love it! 

The first Bitch Glitz polish in the lineup is Candied Pillow. Ketlyn describes it as: "an opaque metallic lavender, speckled with silver, blue, pink and purple holographic glitter that sparkles and radiates color and vibrancy in the sunlight. All polishes are 3 Free and 15 ml bottles. They are all made with diamond dust for added chip resistance and longevity."

The first two photos show two coats of Candied Pillow alone, topped with Seche Vite. All photos are taken under Ott Lite. 

To be honest, this was not my favorite way to wear this polish. It reached opacity with no problem at all, but it was a bit frosty for my taste.

  

The next two photos show one coat of Candied Pillow layered over Sinful Colors Cool Grey, also topped with Seche Vite. 

Now this combo, I LOVE. The glitter was so much more captivating in one coat! Plus, it finished more "foil-y" than "frosty" over the grey. You'll want to enlarge that last photo- it's a stunner!

Candied Pillow applied very easily, and was surprisingly free of brush strokes. I noticed some slight, reflective-only curling in ONE of the medium blue glitters. As it was only one, it may have been a fluke, and it did lay completely flat on the nail. This polish did become completely opaque in two coats, but can be layered at one. I've never heard of an indie line adding diamond dust to their polish, which I think is a very neat addition! I can't comment as to wear time, as I only wore it one day. 

Bitch Glitz polishes, as well as a few eyeshadows, can be purchased on Etsy. Full sized polishes run $10, while four piece collections can be purchased for $35- great deal if you want the whole set! Be sure to like Bitch Glitz on Facebook as well!
