Hi lovelies!
Ms. Sparkle's newest collection is inspired by Carnival, a very fascinating tradition that originated a few thousand years ago and is celebrated all over the world, particularly in Catholic regions.
Let's start with "Masquerade in Venice", a black jelly filled with unicorn flakies that shift from blue to green and purple and a lot of scatter holo:
It is opaque in two easy coats and smoothed out easily with one good layer of top coat. No fishing for the flakies is required, they are everywhere and fantastic!
I had no sunlight, so I used flash to bring out that holo!
And of course such flakies need mattifying...
Gorgeous, right? So let's all drown in this universe of awesomeness for a moment...
Next up is the lovely "Karmelle", inspired by the candy that is thrown into the crowds by people participating in Carnival Parades in Germany.
It's a periwinkle purple jelly filled with holo micro flakes, ucc flakies shifting from orange/yellow/red/gold and unicorn flakes that shift from green/purple/blue/pink and orange shimmer. It's opaque in two coats. The abundance of flakies make it dry a bit gritty, so I recommend some NPB Glitter Food before applying glossy top coat.
...aaaaand matte!
Let's not forget about Rio de Janeiro! Here's "Queen in Rio":
This shifty little pretty is a multichrome that shifts from green/gold/
yellow/copper/brown, has a little bit of holo and orange/gold/greenish unicorn flakies. It's opaque in two easy coats and only needs a thin layer of top coat to bring out the sparkle!

And last, but certainly not least "Shipment of Fools", a hydro green crelly with a pink shift, holo micro flakies, and ucc flakies that shift from green to pink.
Two easy coats and a little top coat is all you need to bring out this beauty!
The name reminded me of the famous painting...

And then, of course, matte :)
The collection is currently available for pre-order! It is all hand-blended, 5-free and cruelty free, so take a stroll in her shop!
I'm going to get the full collection, I think :)
