I don’t generally bother with “nude” nails (if I’m going to paint ’em, I’d better be able to see it). Looks terrible on me (most blues that aren’t dark navy do) but for those who can carry it off, it has a nice depth.ġ21 Lili: This one was a surprise. I’m picky with my black polishes – they’d better be darker than the inside of a piece of charcoal at midnight, or I ain’t interested.ħ96 Carré bleu: A very interesting dark denim blue. There’s a barely noticeable shine in there, but I found this one a little dull. Somewhere between feeling that badass that you could face down a whole battalion of Mindflayers with one perfectly arched eyebrow, and effortless ’40s style.ĩ02 Bar: is a smoky black, like the bitten-off end of a piece of licorice. Looks fantastic on pasty skin tones (like mine) incredibly classy shade that’s just a weeee bit dangerous. Personally not a fan of the corpse-nails greige trend, so this one was never going to be my favourite, but points to Dior for being right on the money with the name.Ĩ53 Massaï: Gorgeous, deep, bloody red that I could not resist (and, accordingly, bought –see more below). On my to-buy list for summer.Ģ06 Pied-de-poule: is French for “houndstooth”, and this muddy (beige? dark beige? dishwater?) colour definitely has that country, horsey, jodhpurs-and-driving-gloves feel about it. Ninja mini-reviews (from left in the pic):Ģ54 Rose tutu: Super pretty coral pink shade that has sunshine written all over it. Fall 2014 on the right of the line Rouge Baume on the left. Sunlight swatches, complete with handy labels. For most, you can get away with one coat only. They go on very smoothly and stay put unless, you know, you go mountaineering in them. And opinions, because those are the fun part! I can’t comment specifically on wear-time, but these are all (by the look of it) in the “Effet Gel” formula, and from experience with another shade, they generally are as shiny and long-wearing as it says on the box. Like a moth to a flame (or tasty game to one of my snares), I headed straight for the display and began swatching with abandon.įirst up, the whole lot (because don’t we all like to be overwhelmed by The Pretty?). Now, this other stuff is all very well, and some of the 5 Couleurs palettes were highly tempting, but this ranger is all about the polish. Not one, but two sets of gleaming bottles awaited me: The Fall 2014 set (to accompany new 5 Couleurs eyeshadow palettes and some lip shades) and four polishes to go with the Rouge Baume release (lippy & blushes). What ho, fellow adventurers! Ooly returns from a long, long walk in the woods, lured back by the need to get out of the inclement weather and the enticing smell of fresh Dior Vernis. Today, however, Ooly is keeping us both stylishly lacquered and in the loop with swatches of the Dior Fall 2014 and Rouge Baume polishes, and a review of the delightfully bloody 853 Massaï ! Today I have an extra special treat for you – Ooly’s back! □ For those of you not yet familar with the fast talking, faster (crossbow) shooting ranger, do go and check out her previous gems: a toxically adorable toadstool mani, and a review of Dior’s much-lauded lip glow! You won’t be disappointed. Greetings from a long time no see, fellow rogues!
