Today's post includes swatches of two beauties by Smitten Polish. They are both named after house words from Game of Thrones, a book series turned HBO series by George R. R. Martin. I've already seen the show and I just started reading the books, and I really love them both. I won't say anything else about it cause I don't want to spoil anything! On to the polish...
First we have Fire and Blood. It's a beautiful and rich red jelly with a few different glitters suspended in it. It's surprisingly opaque while still retaining it's jellylike nature -- I only needed 2 coats here for full opacity. I thought the formula was great, it applied beautifully, and the glitter behaved well. It really lights up in person as the glitters catch the light.
Winter is Coming is a semi-sheer white based polish with royal blue glitters. For this swatch I've used 3 coats. I love the look of this one. It's kind of like peppermint gum or something, though you shouldn't tell House Stark that I said so. The small blue flecks are interesting. They aren't regular micro glitter; rather, they look like little shavings or shards or something. Again, I had no problems with formula or with the glitter.
What do you guys think? I love these together as a pair because they are so different. I think they really accurately represent their namesakes, too.
