Read Now, Buy Later

After the bright orange nails, which didn't even last a day and weren't really ME anyway, I decided to apply a nudish pink. As I said, I was thrilled to see that my favourite "shopping blogger" is back on the scene and when I read her post on Bourjois's Rose Lounge, I was intrigued. I had never tried this brand before, but knew it was readily available at BIPAs everywhere. Last night, I bought it, took off (most of, ooops) the bright orange and applied it:


Wow. The photos and my less than perfect nails don't do it justice, but this really is like a genre of its own. Super smooth and easy to apply and above all, incredibly shiny and somehow plastic looking (in a good way).  The colour is opaque and translucent at the same time. It reminds me of nail polish I saw in Tokyo and regretted not buying that was pitched as "looking like acrylic", which sounds rather off-putting, but basically meant that it gave a shinier and more long-lasting finish.

Picture without flash: 

The text on the bottle promises that it lasts 7 days, but if it even lasts 3 without chipping, I would be more than impressed. I think I'm going to clear out all my other nude and pink nail polishes as this is just so much better. Good choice, Mrs. Windsor!
