Borghese AWESOME new GLITTER collection for fall...swatches.

Hey guys! How has your week been? I sure hope it's been better than mine! This has def. been one of "those" weeks. I've spent half of the week being sick, and the rest of it, anything you can think of went wrong. Yesterday, I had had it. lol...We are finally having some nice weather here in KS. It's been down in the 70's compared to a couple of weeks ago, when it was 112 degrees! I kid you not. Anyway, I decided I was going to take a nice long drive in the country. Just me and the radio. That always makes me feel better. After I did that, I decided to stop at Ulta. I had heard that the new SH Xtreme Wears were starting to show up there. I walked in, and there they were! Those are for another day though. I also spotted a new collection of Borghese. For some reason, I've never bought any polish from this company. I always look at them, but end up putting them back. Well this new collection is all glitter, and they had a few pretty unique ones. There are six of them, and I got one of each. You, guys....this is my new fac. collection. I absolutely LOVE it. Even over the Orly Cosmix! They even applied like a dream, and I had absolutely no problems removing them, which is def. not like most glitters. I only had troubles with application on one of them, and even then it wasn't too bad. All of the first pics. are without top coat and the second pics. are with.

Don't forget to click the pics. for a better view. :-)


First up, is Purple Confetti. It's a grape colored base with multi colored glitter. I'd say this one is the most unique of them all. This was two coats.





Mediterraneo Sea is a sea blue base with purple,blue and silver glitter.






Vigneto Berry is a violet base with violet glitter. This is the only one I had a difficult time applying. It was messy and a bit streaky, but it wasn't terrible. I still like it. :-)





Ipnotico Gold is a pretty fall colored gold with copper flakes. I don't normally like gold polish on myself, but I actually like this one.





Scintilla Magic is a bright red base with red glitter. This color is hot! LOVE it! It def. gives Ruby Slippers and Ruby Pumps some competition. :-)





Nero Magico is a black base with tons of silver glitter. This is an awesome black! Even my husband, who doesn't much care for black polish, likes this one, and for him to notice says something! LOL!





What do you think of this collection? I pretty much think everyone needs it! LOL! I am soo in love with all of them! I def. won't be passing by Borghese again. :-)

I hope you all have an absolute wonderful weekend. :-)

  6. It's nice that Borghese is coming out with glitters. I have a hard time shelling out the $$ for their polish though, so usually wait till I can find them on clearance.

  9. I remember the PC was a mini, I'm so happy they added it to the collection. They also had a glitter chocolate color I was hoping they would've added but I'm happy with the above.

  11. Thanks! A couple of them dry matte, but they aren't advertised as matte. I like them both ways...matte and with a tc. :-)

  12. OMG, I just saw this display at Rite Aid and I'm about to post pics on my blog. I looked to see if anyone had swatched these shades and your blog was the first to come up. Yay! I'll be linking your post to my post--my readers NEEEEEED to see these beautiful swatches (I love that you put top coat over the mattes so we can see them both ways). xo

  16. After I posted my message, I realized they didn't do a green in this group. So sad,as I have a new found love for green polish. Wonder what would happen if I mixed the blue one with the gold one? Do you think it would make a pretty green "frankened" matte? I wouldn't want to mix colors or finishes of different brands, maybe they're not compatible. We will see. So far your blog is the only blog that has swatches of all of the collection,and I thank you for that. LOL! I keep coming back to drool over your swatches! :-D
