Cirque Objet d'Art Collection: Part One

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?
