ManGlaze Santorum and Spoiled Cougar Attack

Santorum is another polish the the Matte Masters, also known as ManGlaze.  Of course, we know Santorum is running for president here in the US.  The other meaning can be googled, because I won't go into detail.  Anyway...the polish itself is a beautiful, shimmering brown.  Now I'm not a huge fan of brown polish, but this is one that makes me rethink it!

Otherside of the label...

This polish is great with two coats.  I could possibly even get away with one coat.  The shimmer in this polish is gorgeous, almost looks reddish.  It reminds me a lot of wood grain, especially with the way the back label looks.  I threw a coat of Seche Vite over it and it really brings that shimmer alive!!

And like I usually do, I did a Matte vs. Glossy!  I personally love this look because it's shows the beauty of the polish both ways.  Plus it's subtle and interesting.

So I wore my Matte vs. Glossy for a day and while shopping, found a gorgeous new glitter called Cougar Attack by Spoiled.  Spoiled is a brand by Wet n Wild and I believe it's exclusive to CVS.  So I got home and decided to try one coat over my current mani.  It turned out completely awesome and I loved it!  The glitter in Cougar Attack glows!  It's a copper glitter in a brownish jelly base.  My only complaint is that their brush is huge!  I took a picture below.  I guess I'm just not used to working with those types  of brushes, but at least the polish went on pretty well.  I do have another Spoiled to try soon too.  I believe it's a dupe for Deborah Lippmann Ruby Red Slippers.  Cougar Attack seems to also be a dupe to Deborah Lippmann Superstar.  I don't have either of those Deborah Lippmann polishes, but just from looking at swatches, I think they're fairly close.

I love this lighting in the picture below.  It shows how amazing this glitter is!  The way it shines in the light.  It was fun and I can't wait to try it out with other base colors to see how it looks!

 

I hope you enjoyed my pictures!  Hope you all have a great Monday!  I'm jealous if you're off today ;-)

Much Love,
