So i though doing both the gold (Versailles) and the silver (La Fontaine) would go together well in a Color Feature. You know, all metallic and stuff. I was also, already getting a little sick of doing each color one by one. I'll start making groups.

I'll start with Versailles

ARC's Description:Versailles is a sprawling bronze based gold, perfect for any eye color. Sprinkled with two different gold glitters, it's perfect by it's lonesome, or with other colors as well!
My Description: I love gold shadows and this gold is one like no other. Not quite bronze, but not quite omfg i'm gold! This gold has an old timey feel. Aged if you will. Aged beautifully. Think of anything gold you see in a antique store. It's like that.
On the topwith flash, bottomt with out. You can see more of the gold/metallic quality of this color in the flash. It looks rather unimpressive in the jar alone, just wait till you swatch it.
This color is lip safe...i'm reallly tempted to try a gold lip
I swatched this color over three different NYX Jumbo eye pencils
"Milk","Pots ans Pans", and "Black Bean"

This is both over the same white base. I don't know why these pictures turned out so differently. But between the two you get the idea of what the true color is. It's in between a brown gold and a gold gold. I feel like to goes on way different then from what it looks like in the jar.
Over a silver base. I wanted to try this because i thought the combo of the two metallic would turn out super neat. It only turned out semi-neat. If you want a bit more shine out of this shadow a silver base is the way to go
Over a black base. I was really impressed by how this came out. It really give it a...unique feel. Not to gold, not to black. Almost like a coin that's been rolling around in the ocean for a few years.
Now La Fontaine
ARC's Description:la Fontaine is our hard-to-photograph light silver color, packed with a delicate amount of holographic glitter. When applied, it's closest description is that it looks like liquid metal.
My Description: When i originally picked out this color...i didn't know it was silver. Even after i got it and opened the jar..i didn't know it was silver. But when i went to go put it on i was all like 0.0, this is amazing. I'm not sure that my watches do this sugary silver justice. It's kinda almost reminds me of like...Those little silver edible balls they use on wedding cakes (illegal in California by the way)
What makes this silver especially spectacular is those little light flecks you see. Those work with the cloudy gray to create some kind of liquid metal amazing
Unfortunately, not a lip safe color. And the on the right is the what collects on the cap. You can see more of the super shimmery goodness. I highly recommend clicking it to make it bigger
I used three NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils to swatch this color
"Milk", "Electric Blue", and "Black Bean"

Over a white base. Pretty much the true color. It's...difficult to really capture what this really looks like. It appears far more lusterless in photographs. Its a lot more metallic in person
Over a blue base. I was excited about this one! Think of the perfect water reflection. Like a thin puddle of crystal clear water spread across a mirror. I loooveee this shadow over blue
Over a black base...its kinda odd. Its like the two are fighting to bee seen. Its a really conflicting combo but could be used in very interesting ways
I hope you've enjoyed this double Color Feature. :D

I really love La Fontaine :D I had fun pairing it with some pinks! I like the result you got from using it over a blue base. So pretty.
