Icing Queen Bee

Before the Salon Perfect neon matte glitters were out, I found out that Icing had a few of their own thanks to oncebittenblog. In hindsight, there are only 2 Icing neon matte glitters and they're not as complex as the Salon Perfect ones, but I like them just the same. I actually think I'm most excited about the neon matte glitter trend than any other trend (don't think it's a full on trend yet, but I hope it will be) in 2013. I'm a glitter gal through and through and matte glitters are darn awesome to me! Here is one of the Icing polishes I picked up.

Icing Queen Bee over Cult Nails Nevermore
Queen Bee is a mix of neon yellow and green matte glitters in a clear base.

Color: At first glance in the bottle I thought this was just all neon yellow glitter, but there is some green mixed in there too. This is a cool combination of colors and I like the way it looks. I don't have a polish like this either.

Formula: Meh. Not so great. This is thick, goopy,and brush is thick and overly saturated with polish. It's not terrible, but it's not easy to work with.

Price: I paid $4.50 for this at Icing, but as we know Icing has this ongoing Buy 1 Get 1 50% off cosmetics deal, so you can stock up without the guilt.

Overall: I really like this glitter. It looks cool, and would make an awesome topper. The formula leaves a lot to be desired, but it isn't bad enough where I wouldn't recommend it either.

My Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Paint Splatters
Happy Friday!
