Cirque x Met Collaboration: Manus X Machina

Wednesday, June 15, 2016 6/15/2016 12:30:00 AM

I'm showing off one of my all time favorite collections today. I am in love with the colors in this collection as well as the inspiration behind each polish. Recently Cirque Colors was asked to collaborate on a limited edition collection for the Metropolitan Museum's costume exhibit, Manus x Machina. This exhibition explores how fashion designers are reconciling the handmade and the machine-made in the creation of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear. Inspiration was pulled from several dresses in the collection and these stunning polishes were created.

Up first is Cirque Colors Ultrasonic, a sheer linen white polish. I used three thin coats here, no application issues. I did have some visible nail line, but that doesn't bother me.

Next we have Cirque Colors Laser Jet (shown over Ultrasonic), a black holographic glitter topper that is inspired by the beautiful hand beading in the collection.

Cirque Colors Raven is a stunning multichrome with a black base. It shows very green on me, but you can also see maroon and deep blue in certain lighting.

Cirque Colors Pret-a-Pearl is a soft white polish filled with pink iridescent shimmer. I adore this shade! I used two easy coats for full coverage, but there is visible nail line.

One of my favorites from the collection is Cirque Colors Moondust! Moon Dust is a chameleon silver foil made with a superfine sterling silver pigment. It's so perfect for this collection. I used two easy coats here.

Finally we have my absolute favorite polish, Cirque Colors Tulle. This is a beautiful dusty pink-beige creme polish, that was opaque in two coats. It's perfection in a bottle, but that's just my opinion.

These polishes are being sold exclusively at the Met Store, either at the museum or online and are only available for a limited time.

Which polish is your favorite?

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

#StampingSaturday: Moondust Scales

Saturday, June 4, 2016 6/04/2016 11:30:00 PM

I'm popping in with a quick late night post that is actually a sneak peek at a coming swatch post. I recently got my hands on the Cirque Colors Manus x Machina collection which is a collaboration with the Met. I feel in love with this dress that was posted as inspiration for Moondust. I had to do a look based of it and that's what I have to show you today.

My base is Cirque Colors Moondust, which I've stamped with a scaled design from Bundle Monster BM-XL24 and black polish. I adore the scales paired with this lovely silver. Be sure to check in this week to see Moondust and the rest of the collection in action.
