Above & Below: QRS Autumn Bronze...I'm oddly captivated by this shade. Outdoors, no flash.

Congratulations, Natalie! She won the 5 piece Orly Treatment set in the daily giveaway I posted about yesterday. If you haven't seen her blog, Nani's Nails, check it out here. Out of all the giveaways during this month of Natural & Organic Beauty thus far, I think this one generated the most entries. So take note of that Orly, and keep up the great work! They make an excellent polish and an extensive line of top coats, base coats and treatments. I assigned each entry a number as I received it and used random.org to generate the winning number, which in this case was 15.
I have one more QRS polish to share with you this evening (scroll down if you missed the earlier posts today on QRS) and 6 more left to swatch from my order last month. If you like these polish colors, don't forget to use the $3.00 Body & Soul discount coupon (see details in the right hand column above) should you decide to place an order. This shade is called Autumn Bronze, and in the bottle it looks like a tarnished brass color. To be honest, I thought it was going to be one of my least favorites. It's not gold and it's not olive, although I did see touches of both when I held the bottle up for inspection. It is a shimmer and if you click the pictures you can see more detail of the shimmer hues. Now, some people may not like this shade because it is different and a little hard to describe, but I owe Autumn Bronze a big apology. It's different alright, but different isn't a bad thing! It appears more gold in some lighting, more olive in other lighting. The first coat was streaky, the second made everything fine. I don't know what it is specifically that I love about this one, but if Autumn Bronze will accept my apology, I think we'll have a long and happy friendship.
For those of you in Canada, Q-Nail/QRS will be offering shipping to you in the near future. They had a glitch in their system a while back that allowed you to order, even though they aren't quite set up for that yet. They honored the orders at that time, but will soon be ready to accommodate you on a regular basis.
Your puppy is adorable!
ReplyDeleteWow. Mary, I am in love with this odd color! I like the olive in it, but I don't think I could categorize it either. It's GORGEOUS. As is your girl! I love looking at pics of her. She's pretty for sure! But you know I have a special weakness for German Shepherds anyway. ;) I just want to squish her.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Natalie! That's so cool. I'm positive she's gonna love that package!
Wow Greta looks so soft I wanna put my face in her fur lol. Grats to natalie! :)
ReplyDeleteThat color is so intriguing! I want to stare at it all day.
Excellent colour! and I'm so glad that QRS will be able to ship to Canada soon :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteso cute pup :) I wanted one last time but was told that some pups have problem with their backbone :(
ReplyDeleteOh I'm in love with this color. My first thought was,"Wow"! I love the name Autumn Bronze too. The Fall/Autumn season is my favorite time of year. In fact when we got married it was Thanksgiving week-end. And I had all the falls color in the wedding...lol! Good thing men just show up and say I do...lol! Your Greta is soooo adorable, she looks so sweet. I just love dogs!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Natalie! I love that pic of Greta!! So cute!
ReplyDeleteBtw your nails got a lot longer!! It looks fabulous!
Lucky Natalie! Use the products in good health. I love how Greta accompanies you to take your nail pictures. She the nail polish protector. She is beautiful. I love that color on you. It is gorgeous and I already had it on my list to buy.
ReplyDeleteGreta looks so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteThis color is AWE-SOME. It reminds me of Opi's At your quebec and call. I LOVE that color and this one too!
ReplyDeleteOooh this color is really interesting.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap is this a dupe to that old Sinful polish Greek Gods? I've wanted that one for a few years. It really looks alike...must...buy.
ReplyDeleteLOL - I'm oddly captivated by that color, myself!
ReplyDeleteAll~I'm so happy you all came back with positive comments on this shade! I really thought it was both beautiful and ugly at the same time, but there was something very captivating about it. Greta thanks you for all of the compliments on her beauty...she doesn't need beauty products, she's a natural beauty :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner!! That color almost looks like it is glowing!!
ReplyDeleteDinky always gives me looks while I am going inside and outside taking pictures like - what are you doing, loL!
