Not Your Average Holiday Duo

Formula: Nice consistency

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: A greige filled with holo microflake and glowing shimmer that shifts from copper to brnoze to green

Finish: A fuchsia purple filled with holo microflake, blue to purple shifting iridescent flake, glowing with shifting blue to purple to orange shimmer

Coverage: 3 coats

Price: $12
