MollyHell's Turkey Day Grab Bag

I hope everyone who celebrated had a happy and safe Turkey Day. I'm not any major religion, and I couldn't give two farts in a crowded theater about Pilgrims, but I celebrate the day as a day of being with family, and making an incredibly delicious meal. So basically a day of sitting around stuffing my face.

Anyway because it's Turkey Day, the polish is BB Couture Cranberry Crush!

MollyHell's Grab Bag! - Two Polishes Everyone Should Own

Two polishes everyone should own. Says it all right there.

BB Couture Fairy Blood. Super vibrant ruby red jelly with red glitter. In my opinion the best of the red jellies with red glitter, period. Intense color without staining the skin, easy to remove, and gorgeous.


And BB Couture Dragon's Breath, a juicy purple jelly with red, silver and blue glitter. Incredibly stunning.

A Couple New BB Coutures - Opposites Attract and Zuma Wave Rider

Thanks to Carla, I recieved BB Couture Opposites Attract today. It's nice. It's a dark grey creme with the merest hint of texture from glitter. While I like it, I didn't flip my biscuits over it like I did pictures I had seen. I expected it to be lighter, and glitterier. So, when you expect peaches and life gives you mangoes, what do you do? You go buy a peach tree and grow your own. Or something. So I blended in a few other polishes and got something nearer to my desire (that could still use some more glitter). View both below.

Also, got in BB Couture Zuma Wave Rider, thanks to Carla! Wanted to do an update to let you know I put the picture in BB Couture Beach Collection Part 2 post of April 28, 2009. It's a beautiful light dusty blue creme.

Reader Request - BB Couture Sea of Cortez over Greens

After seeing my swatch of BB Couture Sea of Cortez over Creative Hot Pop Blue, Rebecca asked me what SoC might look over greens. And, I thought wow what a great question!

For reference, here is Sea of Cortez and the swatch of it over Hot Pop Blue:



So I tried BB Couture Sea of Cortez over many things with varied success.

SoC over (top to bottom) Essie Shelter Island, Essie Greenport and Essie Sag Harbor (base polishes alone first). Nice selection of intensity of blue:


Sea of Cortez over (top to bottom) BB Couture Laguna Lagoon, China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise and BB Couture Electric Avenue(base polishes alone first). Neat range here! The Laguna gives a tropical green ocean effect, the turquoise a green jelly effect and the Electric Avenue gives close to the Hot Pop Blue effect but paler. Nice!:



Sea of Cortez over (top to bottom) China Glaze In the Lime Light, Sinful Gorgeous, and China Glaze Blue Sparrow (base polishes alone first). Another interesting bunch of shades. the very green one is kinda fun!:


Sea of Cortez over (top to bottom) OPI Sahara Sapphire, Misa Dirty, Sexy, Money, and China Glaze Watermelon Rind (base polishes alone first). I actually love these. The Sahara Sapphire adds neat shine to it, DSM looks like a brooding ocean green, and Watermelon Rind becomes bluer and even shinier!:


Last AND least, I wanted to see it over red. BLEAH!! Sea of Cortez over (top to bottom) China Glaze Sass in a Glass, Sally Periwinkle and Orly Garnet Truth(base polishes alone first). Do not want. The Periwinkle one is okay.:



Well I hope you enjoyed and got some inspiration! Feel free to ask for more requests, any of you.

BB Couture Beach Collection Part 2!

The rest of the Beach Collection are just as stunning as the first part I posted about. All the colors are rich and lovely, the jellies glow and are deep. I am deeply in love with this collection.

The rest of'em!

BB Couture Moon Over Manhattan:


BB Couture Balboa Beach Bunny:


BB Couture Midnight Malibu:


BB Couture Sunset Surfer Girl is not only much pinker, almost a neon, sorry for the bad picture, but is already discontinued and replaced by Hermosa Surfer Girl, previously blogged about.


BB Couture Zuma Wave Rider:


One I do not own, Santa Monica Sands, is a beige creme with glitter.

BB Couture Beach Collection!

I cannot tell you enough how much I love the new BB Couture Beach Collection. They all have glitter for one thing, which is a huge plus right there, and the colors are vibrant, unusual and simply gorgeous. I am crazy about each and every one of them. Kudos BB Couture!!

The formula is nice, not runny, the only one that even approaches thick is Laguna Lagoon, which is a creme, so not too surprising and easy to fix. Two coats for cremes, three for jellies gives good coverage.

THANK YOU to Carla for these!!!

Here are some, rest tomorrow:
