Stella Chroma: Limited Edition 2018 Holiday Set; Rose till Champagne & Merlot Ho Ho!

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving!  Starting my morning off with a family outing to the Turkey Trot.  We've done this a few times together and it's a really fun to get the day going.  We'll all be walking it together but it will be a much needed 3 mile walk after being cooped up for the last 2 weeks with the poor air quality.  So today I am thankful for better air quality, a roof over my head, food on my table, supportive friends and family, our health AND my new little boy!  What are you thankful for? 

I'm squeezing in a quick post to help you be better prepared for Black Friday sales.  Stella Chroma will have 3 brand new collections for sale on Friday and new Hand & Body care products (check out my post HERE).  My post is only of the 2018 Limited Edition Holiday set.  It will be available through the end of the 2018.  Rose til Champagne and Merlot Ho Ho! will both be available 11/23 at noon EST and all retail for $13 each or $24 for the set.  Don't forget to use my code MNPO for  15% discount!

Rose til Champagne is a gorgeous metallic rose gold with silver flakes. Stunning and shiny and sparkly and a great color pairing.  Talk about the perfect polish to wear while toasting with some bubbly pink champagne on Christmas or NYE!  You guys, my pictures do this NO justice!  It is so metallicy and shiny IRL, and the flakes are the perfect addition.  I was very impressed with the formula, super opaque and full coverage in 2 coats.  No problems with the application with.  Finished with topcoat.

And then there's Merlot Ho Ho!.  It's my favorite of the duo (it was a difficult choice).  It's a totally stunning and vampy burgundy with holo shimmer.  The formula was thinner, almost like a jelly, but builds up perfectly in a couple coats.  This shade really has me in love!  I used 3 thin coats (you can easily just use 2 but I'm almost OC weird about doing 3 coats all the time).  I finished with topcoat.
