Les Vernis à L'Huile

Nail vanish is a must for me, I need to see my nails coloured, otherwise I'd feel naked. I know, a bit dramatic.

Essie's nail vanishes are by far my favourites, but since it's really hard to find them here, I had to find an alternative to them. L'Oréal recently launched these Color Riche Les Vernis à L'Huile  (= oil nail polish): there are 22 shades and the main feature about them is that they are infused with oils. What kinds? "Rose, Lotus bloom, camellia seed, argan".

The brush is pretty wide and covers the nail easily. I usually apply two thin coats and sometimes three. I had no problem with the application and the polish glides on like a dream.

Here are the shades that I got:

This one looks opaque after three thin coats and it reminds me of Essie Fiji!

Have you ever tried any of these?

January Favourites | 2017

And here we are, at the end of January (thank God) and a new favourites post.

#FOTD 004

I do apologize for these close-ups of my pale face (paler than it actually is). The main character of this make-up look, as you can probably tell, is the lipstick, which is the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania. Since I got it I probably wore it twice, because it's quite hard to apply: it goes really stripy on the lips and once it has dried out it accentuates the lines on your lips. But I decided to give it a go (again) because it's a gorgeous colour. 

Here's what I'm wearing:
