I recently reviewed the new collection from BB Couture, "A Touch of Greece". I got them at a time when there wasn't enough sun to photograph them in, but I wanted to show them to you all as soon as possible. So I decided that flash photos had to do. Well, never being one to just accept mediocrity, I decided to re-swatch them all the first chance I got on a sunny day. So here is the second round! Hope you like them, I sure like them better than the first set :)

I also wanted to do a few of the comparisons that were requested by readers. The first is
Uranus (pointer and middle) and
Hades (pinky) versus OPI
San-tan Tonio (ring). As you will see,
ST is very much the most nude while
Uranus is more butterscotch and
Hades is yellow toned with slight shimmer.
The other comparison I was requested to do is with
Plutus, the bright grass green crème. Pointer finger shows OPI
Don't Mess with OPI, on my middle finger is China Glaze
Starboard, and on my ring and pinky is
Plutus.
Be sure to check these out on BB Couture's
website or on

Plutus reminds me of OPI Green-Wich Village and Ares of the grey maybelline from the winter LEs (gray-t glamour?? Something like that). I don't love any of the mens this time, but I LOVE all but Aphrodite and Gaia from the ladies. :) I think I want Cybele just to stare into the bottle, LOL!

ReplyDeleteoh man, i am so lemming Aphrodite and Ares now, thanks so much for the swatches!!
ReplyDeletewould you say Ares is a warm, neutral, or cool grey?
@Lindsay i would give ares the "neutral" with leanings toward "warm" rating.
