Again, I am sorry if it displeases anyone, but I don't give anything their names.. I just do what I do and pass it back to the big House

Maybe you could write to MAC cause their names/descriptions are sometimes a bit off and I don't work on that

no, it is a definite Bronze tone shimmer on the Dark Soul base.. I know the blacked gold pigment and it is way different.

HerGreyness is the fuchsia one similar to bold n brash or bright fuchsia in the permanent line?

nobody's blaming you HerGreyness! all i [and i think Katred too] meant was fuchsia isn't a colour i'd associate with tartan.

personally i'm thrilled to bits when you post new swatches/info, i look forward to reading what you have to say and i really value your efforts here on specktra

The fuchsia is pretty, but I have a bright fuchsia p/m already. Plus, and this is just me being anal, fuchsia is not a colour I'd associate with a "tartan" themed collection.

don't worry darlin.. lol... it is not GBA in pigment form, but when I was testing it, in a different light, the bronzed one does indeed look greenish.. but that changes according to light angles. Again, no colours seem as simple as the names imply. Sorry.

what I do for my work does not require me to give enlightened descriptions.. but rather market comps... so this whole swatching for Spectra thing may just be wayyyyy out of my league:

Yayyy!!! I'm soo happy reading this! So glad i didn't get Later pigment because this looks SO much better! Thank you Heygreness, you're the best!
And I can't believe those pigments were swatched dry. They look so intense!

yea.. lol... I finished this collection in March and I had even forgotten about it.. to be honest, this had like four name changes since 2009 until March when I finished working on it

Also, please know that not only the names change, but the actual finishes and colours may be changed.. I do not have information as to the packaging either

You RULE!! I figured the purple one was Later so I didn't pay close enough attention. These sound fantastic, though. I'll even take a closer look at "Irish red".

 

[kaylabella]

Those pigments are gorgeoussss!

the name may be changed to Scots Red..

for all I know... the purple/blackened one is really purplely/golden -- but fiercely dark... I just hope what I tested is the actual market product (something which I won't know until October or thereabouts.

These are not tame piggies

but neither are Scotsmen

 

[GlamQueen21]

The pigments are gorgeous!!! Too bad that I cannot get myself to purchase them. Maybe I'll get samples of them.

 

[peachsuns]

Thank you, HerGreyness for the swatches! The pigments are very pretty.

I'm loving the products we've seen so far.
