Hello dear friends!
I've noticed that I haven't done a polish related post for ages *SCANDAL*, so I thought I would introduce you to my newest lacquer acquisitions!
Hope you enjoy
OPI - CASINO ROYALE
(2 coats)
Gorgeous/Amazing/Stunning berry-plum-burdundy!!
This polish looks really bright and quite scary in the bottle but once it's on the nails, it turns into a very wearable burgundy with a berry undertone!
STUNNING!
I've been wearing it non stop on my nails - In my opinion, this shade just screams Winter!
RIMMEL - PURPLE RAIN
(2 coats)
Please excuse the messy application, I was having trouble with my top coat! eek
Fran from BeenThereDoneThatGotTheLipstick sent me this polish a while ago and I absolutely love it. It's perfect for those of you who are afraid of black or simply don't like the look of it. The opaque formula in combination with the wide brush make the application super easy. In addition, it lasted a whole week on my nails!
Thumbs up
P.S. If you don't know Fran's blog already, you should definitely check her out!! She does the most amazing reviews ever!!! I've never seen such a dedicated blogger! Plus, she's super sweet :)
OPI - LIVE AND LET DIE
Deep forest green with gold and green specks
Beautiful shade, easy application, long-lasting...BUT (yes there is always a BUT!), it did look a bit dull on my nails (even with top coat).
Other than that, I think it's a very unique shade and definitely worth checking out.
ESSIE - MERINO COOL
(2 coats)
My new holy grail taupe-mink-mauve color!
Seriously, I cannot express how happy I felt when I discovered this nail polish!
If you're fair skinned like me, you'll probably know what I'm talking about. While some taupe polishes look kind of muddy on me, others are too warm and thus clash with my skin tone...
However, this cool-toned mink-taupe is absolutely PERFECT!!
Besides, it's very opaque, easy to apply and super long lasting!
LOVE LOVE LOVE
CHINA GLAZE - PURR-FECT PLUM
Unfortunately, this lacquer was a bit of a disappointment...Like the name suggests, I expected it to be a purple-ish burgundy color but instead it leans more towards a red based burgundy. Does that even make sense?
Well anyway, I thought it would be more on the purple/plum side...Other than that, it's perfectly fine: easy application, longevity, etc.
Thanks for reading <3
I liked the first 3 much :)
ReplyDeleteThese are all GORGEOUS colors! I especially loved CG Purr-fect Plum and Essie Merino Cool. I just bought Essie's Chinchilly, but I think the Merino Cool is more like what I really wanted. Love it!
ReplyDeleteTrust me, Merino Cool is the most gorgeous neutral color EVER! Let me know what you think of it :) xx
DeleteWow! Great colors :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous swatches! I love the two OPIs especially! x

What a beautiful selection of nail colours- i love them all! I'm currently wearing Chanel's new shade in 'Malice' which is a great one for the festive season :) xx
ReplyDeleteI completely agree :) I've been eying Malice since it came out but I'm still hesitating since Chanel polishes chip and stain my nails like a mofo :( plus, I promised myself I would never ever buy Chanel polishes again and I don't want to lose face haha xx
DeleteI loooove that top OPI one, and that Rimmel one looks amazing too. You have such lovely nails, you're putting mine to shame! Frans blog is one of my favourites too :) xx
ReplyDeleteAw that is so sweet of you to say :) but honestly, my nails are pretty ordinary: they break, they peel, I hate my gigantic cuticles...see, they are not that great ;) Fran is truly amazing, not only as a blogger but also as a person :) xx
DeleteOMG I love the first nail polish! And the Essie one, so perfect for college *O*
ReplyDeleteSo many nice nail polishes!! *O*

I love all of these shades, especially marino cool!
ReplyDeleteI love all the shades i will be looking for them!! Opi casino royale it's my favorite exactly what I need at the moment
ReplyDeletePurr-fect Plum is from China Glaze's On Safari collection, hense 'purr' like a big cat! I can see why it would be confusing though, I hadn't thought of it as purple before :)
