Wet N Wild Flora Collection Set - Swatches and First Impression

This is one of the new limited edition set by Wet N Wild. If you haven't seen my other post about the Fauna set, feel free to click HERE to view swatches and my first impression.
The set retails for $4.99, which is a pretty sweet deal for 4 products that include: a blush, an eyeshadow trio, a gloss, and a nail polish.

The Flora eyeshadow trio contains an orange, green, and chartreuse shade. The orange shade is somewhat matte. I do detect very small specks of shimmers but they are barely noticeable. The green shade is slightly shimmery. The chartreuse shade is more of a frost finish. The texture of these shadows were soft and the pigmentation was average.

Mellow Wine blush looks more like a matte finish. The texture of this blush is amazing. I feels buttery soft and the powder is finely milled. The color is also very pigmented. The shade is similar to Pearlescent Pink but deeper and a bit more mauve.

Mow the Glass is a sheer strawberry tinted lipgloss. Once you apply it, the color disappears. It has a delicious fruity candy scent to it. The gloss feels nice, smooth, and non-sticky.

Twinning Vines is a very shimmery sparkly chartreuse polish. It's rather sheer so you will need 3 coats for a decent coverage. The drying time is ridiculously longer than the average nail polish and I do not have patience for slow drying polishes. I'm not sure how I feel about the color. It's pretty unique I think. It's a color you either going to love or hate.

Borghese Nail Polish Swatches - Limoncello and Stellare Notte

I purchased these polishes from Ulta a couple weeks ago while they were on BOGO sale. They are actually quite pricey and cost just as much as OPI polishes so I took advantage of the sale to snag these beautiful shades that I've been eyeing for a little while.

Limoncello is a bright yellowish green with shimmers. Such a pretty color and looks absolutely stunning on the nails! You get a good pigmentation and even coverage with 2 coats. This is one of those less common polish shade out there and you probably won't find too many dupes for it. This is apparently a fast dry polish formula but stupid me didn't even take notice of how long it took to dry cause I was only swatching.

Stellar Notte is not your typical dark polish. It's not a deep black but more like a greyish black with green and magenta shimmers. The combination of colors makes this polish a bit more multi-dimensional. At first it reminded me of Chanel Black Pearl but with more of a magenta sheen to it. Depending on the angle, you will see more green or more purple shimmers. It's quite beautiful and looks a lot prettier in person.

One last thing I would also like to note is that the brush is similar to that of OPI, making application a breeze. I'm quite impressed with these two shades and I would love to try more of this brand if I can find a shade that tickle my fancy and if I can get them on sale. I would definitely recommend you check these out.
