Drake & Miss Deep: A Half Moon Gradient

promotional samples ahead

Remember last month when I posted the R.O.D Collection from Carpe Noctem Cosmetics? I couldn't contain myself, even though my swatches were nearly a month ahead of the release. I get excited, especially about nerdy things. I figured I should probably do something for the actual release date.


Colors Used: 
Carpe Noctem Cosmetics Drake
Carpe Noctem Cosmetics Miss Deep
China Glaze Liquid Leather





I really love how using Drake in a gradient brought out the crazy opal flakies. It is so crushingly beautiful that I wish I had thought of it sooner because I'd have worn the hell out of this color. You should definitely go pick this one up.
