Brooke Anderson by Gabriel Cosmetics: Southern Belle & I Do Declare


 Hi guys!  How have you all been doing?  I have been doing pretty good considering my mornings start at 5:30 am now.  I can honestly say I do not feel sleep deprived and have been able to be in bed by 9:00 pm every weeknight, sometimes earlier...  looks like someone has beat insomnia!  Go me!

So, today I have the two shades from the Brook Anderson nail polish collection by Gabriel cosmetics I was sent for review, I shared the press release a few weeks ago.  Let's have a look!
Brooke Anderson by Gabriel Cosmetics
The first shade is Southern Belle, a boysenberry purple creme.  I am wearing two coats plus topcoat for the pictures today.
Southern Belle
The formula for Southern Belle was very easy to work with, I had no issues with the application.
The second shade I got sent is I Do Declare, this gorgeous graphite with tons of silver shimmer.  You are looking at two coats, plus two of topcoat.
Gabriel Cosmetics I Do Declare
The formula for I Do Declare was a little on the thick side but not problematic.  Because of all the shimmer, the finish was a little rough and topcoat thirsty so it did take a second coat to even it out.  It's so darn pretty!
I am very pleased with Gabriel Cosmetics, and really enjoyed the shades.  They are a five-free, cruelty-free, and vegan.

These polishes are available online at GabrielCosmeticsInc.com along with the rest of the collection, they retail for $8.50 each or $38.50 for the whole collection.

I wish everyone a great Friday!!!

    I've never heard of this brand, but both of these are really pretty. I Do Declare is very unusual and gorgeous. And since I'm a Southern belle myself, I'm especially glad to see that Southern Belle is purple. :D

      Thank you Melissa, the only thing it is lacking is your name in the bottle, I think it was made for you! :)
