I remember being so excited to be able to pick up one of these when I was in New York last Feb, before they had launched in the UK! Then being even more excited when I heard they were going to make it across the Atlantic and be available over here! Since then, the Color Tattoo 24 Hour have been pretty popular – with a lovely range of shades, easy to use and long lasting. So I thought it might be good to have a look at the shades in my collection:
Left to right in the swatches above we have: Light in Purple, Eternal Gold, Timeless Black and Immortal Charcoal.
Light in Purple is a gorgeous duo-chrome type shade with a blend of blue and purple that shines depending on the lighting. It has quite a frosty finish overall but is a real statement colour. I would love to find the nail varnish equivalent of this one!
Eternal Gold is a classic golden shimmer. It’s cream and well pigmented with a yellowy/orange tone to it that’s really lovely for blue eyes. This will be a summer fave for me! Also, used lightly can make a pretty highlight!
Timeless black is the perfect name for this creamy, pure black shade. Amazingly pigmented – this is the ideal for a really dramatic smokey eye. This would also work well applied with a liner brush as a liner, or smudged on with fingers for the proper rock-chick, ‘I slept in my make-up and woke up ready to party’ type look.
Immortal Charcoal is another smokey eye wonder – but perhaps a slightly softer version than Timeless Black. It has a soft shimmer to it and the grey shade just takes the edge off the darker black version. This and Timeless Black could be combined to add a bit of dimension to a dramatic smokey eye.
There’s also a fairly recent addition to the range in a Rose Gold shade that I am very keen to get my hands on, I’m such a sucker for a rose gold anything!
What do you think of these four shades – which would be your pick??
Available from Boots.com (£4.99)

A nail polish equivalent of Light in Purpple would be AMAZING!

The purple shade is amazing! I didn’t realise there were more shades coming out in the UK so I hope they bring out the champagne colour. I really want to try the bronze shade too

It is an amazing product.
Jealous, they need to hurry up and release more colours in the UK!

Never had but really would like one, I have my eye on light in purple. I think it’ll make a great base for a beautiful smokey eye x
I have permanent taupe and on and on bronze, both are fantastic shades. I’m keeping my eyes peeled for the rose gold shade myself!
I really need to try the colour tattoos, they sound really good and come in lots of wearable colours!
