Press Sample/Review
Hi everyone! I'm pleased to be back with you sharing some beautiful exclusives from Alter Ego for October's Indie Shop in San Antonio.
There are two exclusives from Cynthia for the event called It'll Only Hurt For a Moment or Two and History Prefers Legends to Men.
These shades were inspired by the film Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter and are very fitting with a vampire theme,
It'll Hurt For Only a Moment or Two is a deep red creme inspired by the blood red drips on the credit scene. I used 3 thin coats (because of my stubborn ridges on one nail) but I think you could definitely use 2 coats for full coverage as well. This will be a great go-to for me. I love a good vampy red!

Photos are without topcoat and look how shiny it is! No issues whatsoever with formula or application. This is the bag exclusive and only available at The Indie Shop event on October 13th.
History Prefers Legends to Men is a clear base full of silver micro shreds based on Lincoln's silver axe in the movie. Another great fit with the vampire/silver bullets/silver axe theme.
I used one coat over It'll Hurt For Only a Moment or Two plus topcoat to finish. The shreds are quite dense as you can see over the dark base. I love it, lots of sparkle and I think I will enjoy using this as a topper over various colours and gradients too.
