BB Couture Men on Film is the second new collection from them for spring. It’s the “manly” side of the collection.

This set features matte nail colors. Four of them are matte and two have a shimmery/matte finish. Actually they’re more satin-like than truly matte.

I did have some issues with the formula with most of these. The matte (non-shimmer) ones are VERY thick. They’re kind of hard to get even with no streaks. I felt I needed two coats for maximum coverage around edges especially, but it was so thick it made it even streakier. The shimmer/mattes ones were less thick and easier to work with. No streaking.

Have you heard? BB Couture has a new spring collection out that features twelve new colors! The regular “women’s” collection is called Girls on Tape and that’s what I’m featuring today.

The shades in Girls on Tape are all named after movies. These six colors are flecked with either small glitter sparkles or have a shimmer finish.

Nearly all of them were just two coats, though they seemed sheer at first. Nice formula, no streaking or weird problems. The one thing I did notice was for the almost all of the glitter ones, the glitter seemed to sink into the color, so it was more in the background hiding rather than up front. I prefer the glitter to sit on top of my polish rather than sink in that much. They are a little rough (not bad though) so you’ll need a nice top coat. But you knew that already didn’t you?

I took these pictures way back in the beginning of summer and am just now getting to this post!

This was a reader request of a few colors for a vs. post. Today we are pitting Zoya Neeka, BB Couture Michael and Rescue Beauty Lounge Catherine H. against each other.

RBL Catherine H. is kind of the oddball here since it’s obviously pretty different from the other two but I included it anyway.

BB Couture’s For Her collection includes six pink colors. Four are from previous collections and two are new ones named after people both BB Couture and Overall Beauty know who have fought the disease.

Below is what Kim from Overall Beauty has to say about the collection:

“We have all lost loved ones, friends, lovers, family to cancer. October is the month that many donate to a cancer cause by buying something pink. We are offering this special pink collection by BB  Couture for two reasons. Both BB Couture and Overall Beauty have lost a friend to cancer in the past year.

This collection will offer 4 BB Couture colors we already offer, along with 2 brand new pinks named after lost friends:

Introducing:
Lana (friend of Overall Beauty for 10 years just passed away last month)
Flor (friend of BB Couture)
Pink Champagne
Raspberry Cosmo
Naughty Rose
Tutti Fruitti

BB Couture and I will be donating  $10.00 as our part of the sales of this collection to the American Cancer Society because there is more than just breast cancer. My mother in law died from a type of colon cancer.”

Hello!

Welcome to the second half of the new BB Couture Sinfully Polished collection for fall 2011.

Usually for me the “For Men” half is the one I gravitate towards, but this time it’s pretty much equal. There are some really amazing, cool colors in this half.

The formula was as great with these as the others. A couple were a little thinner and needed three coats instead of two, but other than that, they’re perfect!
