NYX Enchanted Forest

This morning I have a simple layering combination for you! This post is pretty picture heavy because I did my normal hand poses and then mattified, and did the same poses over again. I don't think you will mind though, right? People love stuff to look at! :)

I started with a black creme base (this one is from Urban Outfitters). Then I applied NYX Enchanted Forest over it. I was actually really impressed with Enchanted Forest, as I didn't have to dig around for big glitter pieces and it applied really beautifully. Then I topcoated with Seche Vite.




Then I mattified it all, using Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love.




One thing worth noting about Enchanted Forest is that I think there are two versions of it. If you Google NYX Enchanted Forest, there is a more full coverage, finer glitter in addition to this one. I'm not totally sure what happened. It's been suggested to me that there is a NYX Girls version and a NYX Salon Formula version. If that's true, this is the NYX Girls version.

I wanted to mention it because, if you are interested in buying this, you need to be careful and make sure you are getting the right version! I'd check the picture or something -- make sure it's the version with big chunky green holographic glitter. You can buy this at Cherry Culture for $1.99!

    1. Hard Candy Matte-ly in Love is available at Wal Mart! You can also try Essie Matte About You which is sold at Walgreens, I think.
