*Press Sample*: I, A.M. Custom Color February Duo

***PRESS SAMPLE***

Taking a quick break from my International Salon and Spa Expo posts to share with you the February Duo by I, A.M. Custom Color!


This duo features two beautiful polishes inspired by the famous ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov and the remix of the song "You'll Find a Way."  This month's duo will also include a shimmery red eyeshadow in a 1/3 gram jar.  So let's take a look at the polishes!

First up is Mischa B:


Direct Sunlight




Indoors




Mischa B. is a beautiful red jelly holographic polish.  It applied very smoothly, dried in under five minutes, and is pretty much opaque after 3 coats, though there is just a hint of VNL at certain angles.  Also, it doesn't stain!  No stains at all, on the nail or the skin around!  I DID use a basecoat, though, so I have no idea if it would stain on a bare nailbed.

The other polish is "You'll Find a Way Remix:"


Direct Sunlight




Indoors



 
You'll Find a Way Remix is such a fun grey grelly packed full of various sized blue, teal, and purple glitters.  This polish also dried in under five minutes and is opaque with 2-3 coats, depending on how thick you apply it - I used 3 thin coats in the photos above.

These polishes are so great together!  The intensity of the red of Mischa B. complements the smooth tone of You'll Find a Way Remix.  I also love that Mischa B. is the perfect V-day red!!

You can find the duo Here, and the January Duo that I recently wrote about is also live!

What do you think of this duo?  Do you prefer one polish to the other, or are you fond of them both?

NOTE: These polishes were purchased from I, A.M. Custom Color using a special discount.  This in no way affects my 100% honest opinion.

  1. I really like "You'll Find a Way Remix". I think the glitter really stands out against the grey.

  4. Man, this is a hard one. I really want the red holo but don't want the gray glitter. I wish she still offered minis :(
