What did you think of the warmer colours on the first part? Now it's time for the blues, the greens and the purples!
72 – Spring Lilac: A beautiful greyed
lilac colour, lighter that O.P.I.’s Done out in Deco which looks lavender in
comparison, darker and more robust than Orly’s Bon Bon. Perfect in two layers.
82 – Ciel: a sky blue with a little bit of grey in, to mute it a bit so that it’s not too vibrant whilst remaining a beautiful azure shade. It has a bit of silver blue sheen, but you can only detect it if you know it’s there. With 2 layers there’s a bit of VNL, 3 layers and it’s opaque.
89 – Blueberry: this is another stand out
colour. A muted blurple (do bloggers still use this term?). I like these
colours in general, but I didn't expect how much I was going to like wearing
it. Perfect in two coats.
Korres’greens are some of the best I’ve got
in my collection. The ony I had before was also a green and there’s a reason
why I picked another 3 greens from this brand. Such wearable colours!
35 – Pastel Mint: a greyed yellow-leaning
mint, not a chalky pastel, and I was quite surprised that it did not give me
lobster-hands. Unfortunately my camera decided I should have them anyway, so
don’t be disheartened by the way it looks in the pictures. It needs three thin
layers for full opacity. It doesn't apply as nicely as the rest of the colours, but that's a universal pastel problem I think.
38 – Bright Mint: a goddess amongst my many mint
polishes which is why I have included it in my giveaway. It has the Korres
golden sheen, but it does register as gold at certain angles. A cool mint that
is opaque in 2 layers.
90 – Pale Green: I have so much love for
this one! It’s a smooth grey-green cream that applies like a dream. I would
call it Misa’s Dirty, Sexy, Money’s lighter cousin. Perfect in two layers.
83 – Denim Blue is one of those polishes
where the first layer applies too light and you think it’s going to need
another two at least, but with the second layer it’s fully opaque and you’re
left wondering how this magic happened. It’s somewhere between a navy and a
midnight blue. In the bottle you can see a silver sheen, but not on the nail.
It also didn't stain at all and since I wore it recently I can tell you it
lasted a full five days without a top coat and had no chips or anything.
79 – Metallic Purple is not metallic at
all, not in the traditional sense. It is a very red-leaning purple with a complex
blue with pink particles flash. It’s like you’re wearing Venetian glass to be honest,
it has that luminescent quality without an obvious metallic sheen. This is also
going to be in the giveaway.
96 – Paradise Green: when I wore this
colour I felt like a mermaid in the winter. It’s a teal base with green shimmer
that depending on the angle can look almost teal. It was very difficult to
photograph it and I wasn’t 100% successful. There is a very slight VNL with 2
layers, but not enough to necessitate a third layer.
I have to say that since I took this pictures I bought another 3 on a sale! They will certainly appear here in the future. So, what did you think of them? Any of them got your attention?
