Yay new BB Couture polishes! I am so into this brand, they are so innovative and unique! This collection is kin to the
Girls on Tape collection I showed you earlier this year. I tend to prefer the men's side of the collections, but I concede both of these groups are excellent, and very different. This one contains one metallic shimmer and six matte shades.
Key Largo is a shimmery pale steel blue metallic. I think this is perfect for the name, reminiscent of the beach on a stormy day. I've never seen the film it's named for, but anything starring Bogart has to be good :) This is two coats.
Commando is a matte dark hunter green. The movie it's named for starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as a Black Ops Commando, another I've not had the privilege of seeing ;) I could definitely see this green on a military man fighting in the jungle! I love this color and adore it matte. It's almost satin-y rather than straight chalky matte. This is two coats.

This is
Full Metal Jacket, a satin matte black with speckled silver shimmer. I would almost classify this as a grey. I really love this, it reminds me of China Glaze
Stone Cold, but this has more glow. Another military movie, a classic really. I highly recommend it. This is two coats.

Blade Runner is a black with subtle microshimmer, which is more pronounced when it has a shiny topcoat. Full Metal Jacket's darker brother. I've never seen its namesake's movie, but I've heard good things. This is one coat, a very well behaved matte, again with more of a satin finish.

Another polish named for a Humphrey Bogart film,
Dark Passage is a satin matte dark chocolate brown with microshimmer. I was surprised when I realized how many brown polishes I have, it's not the first color I think of to covet in polish form, but I obviously seem to like it! This is two coats.

This is the darkest and most matte of the bunch,
Road Warrior is a jet black. This is named for Mad Max 2, starring Mel Gibson. Geez, now I have plenty of movies to add to my Netflix queue! This is two coats. I had a little trouble with this one, probably because it is SO matte, it's very thick. This is two coats.

And now for my favorite of the collection,
Top Gun is a dark cobalt blue with subtle blue microshimmer. I LOVE THIS!! It reminds me of a fashion forward bold tuxedo color. And if you haven't seen Top Gun the movie, you fail ;) J/K but for real, it's a total 80's classic. Probably my favorite Tom Cruise film.

I like this collection a lot, more because it's been a while since we've seen a good grouping of mattes. I think they are equally beautiful with a shiny finish as they are matte. You can get BB Couture polishes at
