Darling Girl Spring Fling collection swatches

Susan from Darling Girl was kind enough to send me samples of the Spring Fling collection so I could swatch them for my readers :) Sadly, it seems I've lost the shade 'New Grass', so here is a link to one of my favorite blogs; she has some great swatches of this collection. Top 3: Sorbet, Mango Tango, Forsythia Middle 3: Garden of Weedin', Butterfly Flutterby, Lily of the Valley Bottom 3: Plum Blossoms, Shower of Flowers, Lala I wish my camera would show the complexity of Shower of Flowers, it has a great blue flash to it. Lala also has amazing pink shimmer, which is what I tried to capture with that last picture. Those two are my favorite colors from the collection. A lot of these colors are heavy are the shimmer, so I would recommend using Pixie Epoxy or a similar type product with these. I got on the roof to take these pictures and my kitty Gloria decided to come up too! Here's a look I did with Showers of Flowers and Lala... and a more fun one with Forsythia, Butterfly Flutterby, and some Collection 2000 glitter liner. A customer at work told me I looked like I was going to the carnival :P

    PS: HAHA I didn't even realize it was my link until I clicked it. Even though I do swatches, I LOVE looking at other people's swatches.

  12. DG is one of my favourite MMU brands. I just placed my second order. I should be on no-buy but she has a short sale, buy 2 get one free so I got a few lipglosses and eyeshadow samples. And I like the gwp eyeshadow for next week.

    I love the first look, I should have ordered Shower of Flowers (I already have Lala). I'm getting Gelato though, it looks gorgeous in Susan's swatches and a look she posted on her blog, I suppose it may look good with Lala too.
