AVON ELECTRIC SHADES OF NAIL FOR 2015
Avon Limited Edition Electric Shades Collection
Avon Electric Shades are wicked fun. They’re the kind of rich bright jewelly tones that I adore – a lot. Super shiny with flecks of shimmer and sparkle to give them depth, they’re just my cup of tea.

Avon Reckless - electric shades 2015
Above: Avon Nailwear Pro Reckless. That’s two stupendously easy coats, friends. No top coat either – it’s nice ‘n shiny!
Avon Reckless Mattified - electric shades 2015
Above: Reckless – Mattified. Aw yeah! It's like a summer sister to Formula X Valor and we all know how infatuated I was with that, right?
Avon Hottie - electric shades 2015
Above: Avon Hottie. Again, that’s just two coats and while it looks almost textured in the photo, rest assured it’s 100% smooth. What looks like texture is actually micro flakies with their light-reflective properties. It’s bold and bright. For me, it’s also #GimmieThat.
Avon Hottie Mattified - electric shades 2015
Above: Hottie – Mattified. With a coat of matte, you can really see the tiny bright flakies in there. This shade of electric pink is prolly my favourite kind of pink in the history of pink.
Avon Vibe - electric shades 2015
Above: Avon Vibe. S’like a shimmer-tastic ocean view from your beach lounge chair. While I like the colour some on my pale winter skin, it took three coats to get here and while it’s still winter, I think maybe…
Avon Vibe over Revlon Black Magic - electric shades 2015
Above: Vibe over Revlon Black Magic. Lookit that! Just lookit! That’s one coat of Vibe over one coat of my trusty Black Magic. It is good.
Avon Vibe over Revlon Black Magic Mattified
Above: Vibe over Revlon Black Magic + Matte. That is all.
So my verdict? The stuff is good. It’s solid polish. Avon spends lots of dough on research and development and, globally, they’re huge. We tend to forget about this brand because it’s not readily available at the drugstore or at other mass market retailers but I tell ya what; if you can get your hands on it, I think you’re really gonna like it.
Avon Electric Shades collection, April 2015
The Avon Electric Shades limited edition collection lands April 2015. There’s a shade I didn’t manage to get my digits in and it’s a Saucy yellow. From promo shots, the shade reminds me of OPI You’re So Flippy Floppy from the OPI Brazil Beach Sandies collection. I liked that yellow. I still have that yellow.
Where can you get the stuff? Online at www.avon.ca or through an Avon independent sales rep.
