When I first saw the pastille green nail polish from Dior and Lancôme, I was unsure of it. I went home and all night the colour was in my mind! I woke up a woman obsessed with pastille mint green nail polish! In fact I am in love all pastille nail colours now!
Lancôme offer 3 choices of colours for the collection this season. All matte and in creamy pastille colours: green, pink and peach. All beautiful colours but the formula is quite thin. A thinner formula means easy chipping in my experience.
Dior has launched two nail colours for the collection, a vivid creamy purple which is just a tad brighter than lilac, and a gorgeous shimmery pastille mint green. Purple is normally my favourite colour but the green in this is amazing! Out of the 3 brands I think Dior is the most popular with their nail polishes, they are good quality and my favourite thing is the brush! Instead of the long flimsy brush where you usually need to do 2 or 3 strokes to cover the nail, Dior provide a wider and firmer brush with a slant at the end of the brush which is perfect for the edges near the cuticle.
Like Dior, Yves Saint Laurent equips their nail varnish with the wider and slanted brush. I think these types of brushes are a great idea, especially for those like myself who are not always good at ‘staying inside the lines’. =P I absolutely adore the green in this collection! The brown, orange and pink are matte, whilst the green has a metallic shimmer through. The down-side to these are they must be purchased as a duo. The orange and pink come together as do the green and brown. If these were purchasable singularly they would walk off the shelves but as duos they are going to be sitting there a bit longer!
Now that I am a little obsessed with nail colours I recently went out and bought some colours. Because I am not a huge nail devotee, I didn’t splurge of ‘high’ quality varnishes. One of the colours I bought was ‘minted’ by Revlon. The colour is exactly what I was looking for. I’ve been wearing it for 3 days now and it hasn’t chipped! I applied 2 coats, with no top coat or base coat, just the colour varnish. One thing I have found when I do wear nail polish is, if not within the first hour it chips within the first day.
Other colours I have recently bought but yet to try are Revlon ‘Blue Lagoon’, OPI ‘Mod About You’ and Inglot ‘150’. These are my current pastille nail varnish purchases.
What nail colours are you in love with this season or just at current? Or what cosmetics have caught your eye? Would really love to hear everyone's thoughts and current must have items!
