I will be breaking this review into two parts, so check back tomorrow!
 |
| BB Couture Eve |
BB Couture recently released two new sets of polish, called the infamous lovers. There are six "girl" polishes, and six "guy" polishes, which are part of the BB Couture for Men line. First up, Eve, from Adam and Eve.

| BB Couture Eve |
Eve is a green and gold micro-glitter suspended in a murky base. When first applied the base is a dirty moss green, but as you build up the coats it turns brown.

For Eve I used four coats plus my SV top coat, and I had no trouble with the formula whatsoever.
 |
| BB Couture Pocahontas |
Next up we have Pocahontas, whose partner in the men's collection is John Smith. Kim from Overall Beauty brought up a good point. Were John Smith and Pocahontas really lovers?

| BB Couture Pocahontas |
Pocahontas is described as a light tan, but to me this is more of a taupe, or even a "greige." What is interesting about this polish, and seperates it from all the other greiges out there, is the inclusion of black and silver micro glitter. And when I say micro, I mean micro!

| BB Couture Pocahontas |
For Pocahontas I used two coats plus my SV top coat, and the formula went on surprising well, considering I did not use a base coat.
 |
| BB Couture Juliet |
Last for today, we have one of the more widely known of the imfamous lovers, Juliet of Romeo and Juliet. When I first opened up this collection, I immediately thought I would not like this one. Now that I am looking at the pictures, this polish has definitely won me over.
 |
| BB Couture Juliet |
Juliet is described as "pink heart red" but to my eyes, it is much more a taupey-pink than pink-red. Actually, it is the color of my house, pink brick! I believe the pink comes from clay in the soil.
 |
| BB Couture Juliet |
The same micro-glitter that is found in Pocahontas is found in Juliet, only much more sparse. I honestly did not even notice it until I put it on!
 |
| BB Couture Juliet |
For Juliet I used three coats plus my SV top coat. Out of all the polishes, I thought this one would be the most difficult to work with based on how the first two coats applied. But after a third coat and a layer of SV, it looks marvelous!
BB Couture can be purchased from Overall Beauty (Kim is fab!) or directly from BB Couture.
