Gucci Bold High-Gloss Lacquer - Sunburst

Hi everyone.. In todays post I am going to be reviewing the latest of luxury beauty product launches by the one and only Gucci. I have not seen any reviews of this exact product online so I thought I would be the first to tell you all about it. 

Gucci launched their cosmetics line in September this year featuring an amazing range of products including eyeshadows, lipsticks, blushers and more. As soon as I was told they were launching this line I could not wait to see what it looked like as I knew the packaging was to die for! And I was lucky enough to be given this polish for my 22nd birthday in October.  

As soon as I saw this packaging i was blown away by the detail Gucci had put into each and every product. All items in the range feature their signature logo in and for me this is by far the best luxury beauty brand packaging I have ever come across. 

The polish I will be talking about is 'Sunburst' - a beautiful coral shade as seen in the image below. The bottle is beautiful with the lid embossed with Gucci's Logo on the top. 

I swatched this polish and the image below was taken in natural sunlight. 

Application: I used two thin coats of the polish and as you can see the pigmentation is perfect. The brush shape is spot on and is designed to make sure application is mess free. For me it was exactly what I need and I did not have to clean the edges of my nails after application. The formula gives enough coverage, the colour payoff is amazing and it drys with the perfect glossy shine. The polish applies smoothly and did not leave any bumps or bubbles when drying which is exactly what I would expect from this kind of brand.

Wear time: I had this colour on my nails for at least 5-6 days before it showed any signs of wear or chipping which I think is great considering I did not use a top coat to seal in the colour. 

This gorgeous polish will be perfect as a gift or even as a treat to yourself. 

Gucci's Description: the bold high-gloss lacquer combines a state of the art formula and an innovative brush for a luxurious manicure experience. The specialised triangular-bristle brush provides impeccable, even coverage with each stroke, while the pigment-saturated nail polish results in a glossy, high-shine look.

Overall I think this nail polish is among the top 5 polish ranges I have tried, if not the BEST!... the product looks absolutely beautiful and on top of that the product inside the bottle is just as amazing. Application, colour payoff and wear is exactly what you would expect from Gucci.. It is well worth the £20 price point in my opinion and I would recommended it as a great gift for someone special.. or to yourself :)

I will be reviewing another polish from this range soon so keep an eye out! 

I am in love with this range and I can't wait to try out more.. Have you tried this? let me know what you thought...

Marc Jacobs Nail Lacquer Review

Hi Everyone! 

For todays post I will be taking about one of my favourite beauty products → NAIL POLISH :D.. Specifically 'Marc Jacobs Hi-Shine Nail Lacquer'. I picked up three of the shades from his collection on my recent trip to France. I went into Sephora and did not step out until I had these in my basket as I have been looking for these for the longest time ever! and they do not sell or ship to the UK :( 

These polishes retail for 18 Euros each so the price point is in line with most high end luxury polish brands...

Lets start by taking a moment for the BEAUTIFUL packaging he has designed for this product. It is simple, unique and classy... and the shape of the bottle is like no other, i love it!... I picked up three shades. 

1. Delphine - a gorgeous everyday creamy browny nude. perfect for everyday wear 

2. Lux - something different! a bright neon yellow shade perfect for making a statement

3. Secret Love - the most beautiful aubergine purple shade I have seen. one of my favourite colours 

Firstly these polishes come with the perfect sized brush, easy to use and not too large so polish application is easy.. Which is important when buying a luxury nail polish. The formula of the polish is an ideal consistency and not thick or clumpy at all... I found that for all three polishes two coats gives enough coverage and when dry, the gel like shine is exactly what I love! So a top coat is not really needed. 

The lasting power of all three I would say is perfect! They last about a week before showing any wear and thats about right as I wouldn't keep a polish on for longer than a week anyway as I like to keep changing up colours :) 

My favourite of all three shades is the neon yellow 'Lux' as i do not own a colour like it and it is such a striking colour which I wouldn't usually go for but have now fallen in love with. 

Below I have swatched all three gorgeous shades.. 

LUX 

DELPHINE

SECRET LOVE

Overall I am really impressed with the look, formula and lasting power of all three of these polishes. Marc Jacobs has done an excellent job with his design and I can't wait to try more shades from this line! I would really recommend these to anyone looking to try something different and willing to spend a little more as you definitely get the quality you pay for. These are now some of my favourites.. Let me know what you think if you have tried them too..

Chanel Accessoire Nail Polish Review

Chanel: Accessoire - 573

Hi everyone so my first ever blog post is a review of one of my favourite nail polishes 'Accessoire' by Chanel which was part of their spring 2013 Printemps Precieux Collection.

Lets get started... So the first thing you will notice about this product is its beautiful and luxurious looking bottle which has Chanel's signature logo on the lid and bottle. This polish is a beautiful dark burgundy red shade which would compliment any skin tone in my opinion. 

When I first used it i was really impressed with the brush it comes with. It is the perfect size to cover the nail without having the polish go all over the skin, it also makes application easier. The formulation of this polish is almost perfect and it applies like a dream. 2 coats is enough to give a smooth opaque finish without the need for a topcoat. The lasting power of this polish is also worth the money. When i first used it, I had it on for at least 6-7 days without it wearing, chipping or looking messy. 

Below is a swatch of this shade taken in natural daylight

Final Thoughts: As with every high end polish you do expect to get what you pay for and i can safely say that with this Chanel polish you get exactly that. It is luxurious, classy and the formula is one of the best i have tried to date. It is definitely one to try if you are looking for a rich deep burgundy shade with a highly glossy finish, you will not be disappointed.
