Today I've got Rosy Rosettes, a gorgeous pink-leaning red base chockers with pale pink hexes and heavy gold shimmer. Such a gorgeous combination!

At first I thought the "Brocades" name was kinda gimmicky and an effort to refresh ye olde glitter polish, but after trying it out, I can sort of see where they're coming from. Somehow the way the glitter pieces layer over and the slight 3D effect does give the look of brocade. Wow, well done, Maybelline!

Application-wise, it was easy and dried relatively quickly. These photos show it at two coats. The glitters spread easily and don't need fishing. Because of the textured finish , you do need a thick layer of topcoat (or two!) but the effect is certainly worth it! One of my favourite purchases of the past few months, definitely!
