A completely new brand for me! TK Maxx re-opened last week and I had a couple of days off during the week so I went to my local store and almost cried from happiness. They didn't have much nail polish in but, what they did have were these 3 beautiful shades and 3 beautiful China Glaze shades.
So, I thought this was a random in-house brand however it's actually a French brand and each of these shades are 7.50euro each but I got them for £1.99 each.
Fleur De Cerisier // Light Peony Pink Satin Creme
Collection: Vernis Green
Release Date: ?
Coats: 3
According to google translate this means "Cherry Flower" and I'd say this shade is very reminiscent of the delicate leaves on cherry blossom trees (my favourite trees!) This dries with a satin finish and due to that it does have some brush strokes but a top coat will level that out. It is a little streaky and 3 coats are needed but it dries pretty quickly.
Pivoine // Light Peony Nude Creme
Collection: Vernis Green
Release Date: ?
Coats: 3
This appears to be a light nude shade but by 3 coats it has a pink/peach undertone and I actually really like it. Or maybe it's just because I'm a bit more tan now (thank you sun), lighter shades are now looking a helluva of lighter on me. This one also applies easier than the last and has a creme finish. Not Gelly levels of shine but still pretty nice. Once again though it does have some slight streaks that can be evened out by a top coat.
Magnolia // Clay Nude Creme
Collection: Vernis Green
Release Date: ?
Coats: 2
I'd say this one is a bit too dark for my liking. Brown/reddish shades have never looked that great on me, I was hoping this one wouldn't have a red undertone. I think this would do well with a light beige in a watermarble to achieve a coffee design. This shade is the only one though that kind of self-levels.
// Verdict
Not to shabby for only £1.99 each, especially Fleur De Cerisier, that one is definitely my favourite. I think I might do an ombre with all three though and use some of the detailed flowers on one my MoYou Botanical plates with them.
I like the pink - others too browny for me. Lucky you our shops aren't opening until end of the month and that is only if the entrance/exit is outdoors - so shopping centres ain't opening apart from 'essential' shops!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Our local shopping center had opened but I stayed well away. I literally just wanted Primark and TK Maxx. Shopping online for random nail polish just isn't the same lol.
