Allo polish Pals,
I hope you had a great week, Did you
have a busy fantastical one? I'm having a very quiet weekend which
means more tidying and more nail painting! I'm also looking forward
to getting stuck into a good book. I had a lovely evening seeing
friends on Thursday with my partner which meant unlimited dog
cuddles! Also their parrot can whistle the tune of Lykee Li's
'Follow' which is just beyond awesome!
Today's swatch and review is for Paris
Memories in #255
Colour ~ Its a wonderful black base with tiny flecks of silver, it may not sound extremely exciting but its pretty stunning in its own right. It reminds me of the sunlight hitting a wet road after a rain storm ~ Random huh?
Application
Perfectly easy to apply, there are no real streaking issues. I
applied two coats which was enough to give good strong coverage. All
I can really say application wise is that you will need two coats as
it can be a little on the opaque side but that's easily fixable.
Texture Wonderfully
smooth if a little on the watery side. The glitter flecks don't
really have any texture or grit to them and with a coat of seche vite
it had a lovely glossy smooth appearance.
Overall ★★★★/5
I'd love a black silver glitter
ideal for stamping but alas, this one just isn't it. Its far too thin
in consistency for stamping but as a base and for general painting it
works wonderful. I have used this polish a few times since purchasing
it and I do really like it. I particularly like layering glitters and
flakes on top. I recently added NYX's Frizzy spots on top and it was
pretty impressive because 255's glitter adds some real depth! Ill be
showing the review on Frizzy Spots in the near future.. Overall its a
good polish and gets the job done.
Side
Note: I'm a little sad Paris Memories keeps track of their
polishes by number... One thing I love about nail polish is seeing
the unique names they get.
Have
you tried any of Paris Memories polishes? Where you impressed?
Do
you have a go-to black with silver glitter polish ~ I would
love to know!
Love

ReplyDeleteThanks Little Monster. Its pretty basic but I think a collection needs a sparkly black of some sort!
