NCLA From Dusk Till Dawn Collection for Fall 2012 Swatches, Photos & Review

NCLA Fall 2012 NCLA From Dusk Till Dawn Collection for Fall 2012 Swatches, Photos & Review

NCLA has a new fall collection out called From Dusk Till Dawn that consists of four new shades.

I found the formula to be a bit strange with these. For some reason with the first coat of all of them they seemed really sparse and streaky. As though I wasn’t getting enough polish on the brush, but I thought I was. But after the second coat they all evened out and became opaque. They all wound up being just two coats in the end!

As a reminder, NCLA are big three-free, Camphor free and cruelty free.

I’m With The Band

I’m With The Band is a super bright coral shimmer. This is a really beautiful saturated color. The shimmer is somewhat subtle but makes it a little more interesting than a plain creme, I think. The formula was on the thick side, but not unmanageable. Two coats is all you need.
