Makeup Wars! Holiday Metallics: Favorite Metallic Polishes

It is time for another Makeup War! This time we are battling it out over the best Holiday Metallics. What better time than the Holidays to wear metallics! :) 

What the heck is a Makeup War?

The Makeup Wars group blog blasts about the same topic about every other week. We link to each others' posts through the themed graphic at the top of the post (see the last mascara, next mascara links) and the blog logo/photo links at the bottom of this post. We encourage you readers to click the links and scroll through all of our blogs to see our favorite mascaras! Our posts all go live at the same time. So, finding out what other Makeup Wars bloggers picked is a surprise to me too! I am always so eager to click through to find out what everyone picked!

Be sure to check out those posts here: Battle of the Taupes, The $20.00 Face Challenge, Battle of the Favorite Summer Lippie, the Most Expensive Face Challenge, the Best Brush, Favorite Fall Polish, Favorite Red Lipstick, Best Fall Look, Halloween Manicure,  Favorite BB Creams, and Favorite Mascara. 

While I do love metallic eye shadows, I decided to focus on metallic polishes for this post. As I browsed through my makeup collection selecting my favorites, I realized that I might just have a metallic polish addiction! Seriously! I didn't really even realize how many I had until I started picking through them and swatching them for this challenge.

To see what my favorite metallic polishes are, please keep reading!

My First Klout Perk: essie's luxeffects "stroke of brilliance"

Whoo-hoo! I got my first ever Klout perk: essie's luxeffects topcoat in "stroke of brilliance"!

I am pretty new to Klout...and I must admit, I am still figuring it out! While I have heard people talking about Klout and Klout perks for awhile, I am just getting started with it. Klout gives you a score and awards you for "influence". Basically, Klout is a site that allows you to earn and award points (or +K) to influential blogs, sites, brands, etc. You are only allowed to award a certain amount of +K a day. Whenever I log on, I try to spread as much +K love as possible! Here is my Pammy Blogs Beauty Klout profile.

Once you reach a certain number of +K, you are eligible for perks! The first one that I opted for was this adorable essie polish!

I am just in love with this polish!!! It is a blue glitter topcoat. The glitter is a beautiful shade of medium periwinkle purpley-blue. It is really lovely! Honestly, I have never had a glitter in quite this shade. You may remember that I got a luxeffects silver glitter from one of my Birchboxes? I still love that one too!

I layered it here with Ulta's Wild Orchid for a whimsical pink and blue look. I used 2 coats of the essie. I can't wait to layer "stroke of brilliance" with some darker shades for Fall and Winter!

I wish the pictures did this manicure justice. It really is pretty! :)

Are you on Klout? Have you gotten any fun perks yet? 

XOXO!!!
