Pink Frost

(3 coats)

Meh. It's a little bit too sugary for my tastes.

Pink w/ Green Flash

(2 coats)

A light pink shimmer w/ a green flash: I can't believe how much I liked this one! It was strangely flattering and a little fun.

Pink Metallic

(1 coat, 2 coats index)

So this is what they are talking about when they complain about "brush strokes". :)
Almost full coverage w/ 1 coat.

Grey Metallic

(1 coat)

I wore this one as a NOTD. A super light grey. I got a couple compliments on it. It's hard to see but there is an ever so slight pink cast to the color. The wear on this was not so good. No chipping, but the tip wear for 24 hours was insane to me considering I wasn't using my hands a lot.

I'm happier w/ this set than the cremes.

Anne & Florio - Cremes and Jellies

This was a brand I picked up in Bangkok at a store called Beauty Buffet.

They retailed for about 2 bucks for one. But if you bought 3, 1 buck each. I bought 9. What the hell. But these don't have an ingredient list! No idea whether or not these are B3F. I would assume not.

Blue (B28)

(3 coats)

Not. A. Fan. Applied like hell. Looks like hell.

Red

(2 coats)

Anne & Florio does jellies much better than the one creme. This red turned out quite nice after just 2 coats.

I think I have enough of these types of reds tho.

Pink (B49)

(2 coats)

Although the color is really pigmented and strong, but I don't think you can build opacity with this one.

What a poor start.
