Good Morning loves!
Today I have the first part of the
Cirque Objet d'Art Collection. You may remember seeing a few Cirque polishes in my top picks for 2012. I was in love with Cirque from the get-go. I love their unique shades and their classy packaging. I just love everything about this brand and their campaigns. They are handmade polishes: All grown up.
To see close-up shots of these beauties just keep on reading!
Cirque Lapis
Lapis is a very dense blend of fine Sapphire blue glitter suspended in a clear base. This polish very very packed with glitter and it does not need "underwear" (a base color).
Lapis gave me no application issues and the glitter spread is fantastic. I used Three thin coats for full opacity.
Cirque Curiosity
Curiosity is an insanely gorgeous shade of tomato Red glassfleck. To add to the perfection there is the most beautiful Gold duochrome that peeks through the Red base. The formula on
Curiosity is nothing short of perfect and does great in Three thin coats.
Cirque Galinda over Cirque Curiosity
Galinda is a snowy blend of opalescent and White micro particles interrupted by White hexes.
Galinda is definitely magical, ethereal and just plain pretty! For this look I used one thin coat of
Galinda over my glowing Red base. I wore this during the Holidays and I did not want to take it off!
Cirque Hellebore over Cirque Lonesome George
Hellebore is the most amazing mix of fine Sage glitter. This is another super dense blend and does not require undies, for my swatch I did layer it. The base color is Cirque's
Lonesome George. So, when I took a closer look at
Hellebore my eye kept picking up this beautiful, light Violet sparkle coming through the Green base (see Ring fingernail). I only needed One coat of
Hellebore over my base to achieve this look.
Cirque XX over A England Dorian Gray
XX is an amazing blend of Hexes, Diamonds and Squares in varying sizes. All of the particles are prismatic. Some of the particles lean on the Coppery- Pink side and some lean on the Teal- Aqua side.
XX is just amazing, like nothing I've never seen before. It could be this combination, it could be
XX, I never wanted to take this off either.. I'm starting to see a trend here.
XX is easy to work with and no fishing is required.
Cirque Au over Cirque Lapis
Au is a 23k Gold flake. I only have one other Gold flake I can compare this to and that is Zoya's
Gilty. They are different tones of Gold.
Au is just a little brighter than
Gilty.
Au is also very packed with flakes. For this look I did use Two "dabs" of
Au because I was actually wearing it for a few days :D.
That will do it for Part One of my
Objet D'Art Collection swatches. You can head over to
Cirque's Shop to get your hands on these beauties! I can't really pick favorites because these are all so beautiful and different. I'd have to say I was particularly blown away by
XX, Hellebore and
Curiosity.
Thanks for stopping by today my loves!! Which are your picks?

I recently began a No-Buy period, after coming face-to-face with the unbelievable hundreds of polishes in my collection.
ReplyDeleteNOW...I'm re-thinking that rash decision.
THIS is the prettiest collection I've seen in a long time.
Beautiful swatches, Cristina!
Definitely the XX, I think I'm in love...:)

ReplyDeleteI love Cirque polishes but they are so darn expensive! I only own two. I loved this whole collection, but couldn't justify spending so much. If I had to choose one, it would probably be XX. So awesome! I like your layering of Au over the blue. Such a good color combo!
ReplyDeleteAu looks amazing, especially when you've matched it to the contrast blue glitter. Such a great work review. Hope I'm able to get Au at least. :)
ReplyDeleteWow. I am SO impressed with Cirque! They are SO gorgeous and so sophisticated!
ReplyDelete...
ReplyDeleteSpeechless. I think I could die for Lapis. :D
Cirque Au is my no.1 <3
