L'oreal Vernis A L'huile: Dimanche Apres Midi (Sunday Afternoon) Nail Polish Swatch and Review

-
Good day everybody! Today I bring you another swatch and review of a polish I picked up quite recently from L'oreal! This particular nail polish is from a range called 'vernis a l'huile' (l'huile means oil), which I have never tried before. Apparently, this polish is infused with different kinds of oils, similar to the Color Thearapy Range from Sally Hansen, except the oils in this polish are supposed to create richness of colour and add a shinier finish. The name of this polish is 'Dimanche Apres Midi' which apparently translated to Sunday afternoon.


This polish is a nude colour with some nail line showing. As I put it on my nails, I was very surprised as to how many coats it took to keep the finish from showing streaks. I originally thought that two coats would do the trick, but in the end I needed three, which made the polish quite opaque. In fact, from a distance you can't even tell that there is nail line showing, it's very subtle and elegant. The formula is also really great!One thing I did notice is that I started getting bubbles on one of my nails, like, real bad. The same thing has happened in the past on my nails with L'oreal nail polish, but I don't know if it's only me that has experienced these problems.



The polish also has a beautiful scent, I don't know how to describe that scent, but it's beautiful!

One of my favourite things about this polish has got to be the bottle. This bottle has got class for DAYS! The bottle is made of glass with a criss-cross pattern cut into the bottle. The golden cap is beautifully crafted with the l'oreal logo embossed into it. The label on the top of the cap matches the colour of the polish, and the lettering is done in gold to match the colour of the cap. 

And, oh my god, the brush! It has an amazing wide paddle and makes an absolute breeze. Application was even easy on my pinky finger, which I usually struggle with when using a wide paddle brush. It is everything, and then some.


This polish is elegant and subtle, perfect for just about every occasion, it's just very, very wearable. If your not into nail line, I reckon this would be great for a french tip manicure. I like a little nail line, and I love this polish, especially the way that it applies. But, if this polish was terrible, I think I'd still buy it, for the brush and the bottle. What do you guys think? Have you tried this range of polish? Do you like a little bit of nail line? What do you think of that bottle? Let me know down below in the comments or on Instagram and Pinterest (my username in thegoodnailsblog)!

Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 Full Collection Swatch and Review

Helloooo! Helloooo! Heloooo! Oh my! I am really very, very excited to present to you all a new collection swatch and review from Sinful Colours! This is the new core collection from Sinful Colours for 2019, which consists of 8 nail polishes. The slightly oddity here is that there are two nail polishes that I haven't seen in the other collection reviews; these being Holo Back and All Jokes Acia'd. It's possible that they are exclusive to Australia or maybe were released a little later than the rest of the collection? Those are my running theories, but if anyone knows please share your awesome information down below in the comments section! Y'know, when I do a collection review I never know which polish to start with! Do I choose something that works well as a representation of the overall collection? Do I pick my favourite or least favourite? Do I just pick whichever swatch photo I see first? Yep, the last one, it's always the last one, otherwise I'll never choos...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Jungle Beat Collection Swatch and Review

Hello everybody! Today is a very, very, very exciting day for this blog because this is my first ever swatch and review of a collection! I was super pumped when I started seeing polishes from the Vanessa Hudgens collection around October, and picked up the four polishes that were available. When I brought my polishes home and looked them up, I was only able to find two of them on the Sinful Colors website, which were apart of the festival collection. I only found a swatch or two of the other polishes that I picked up and no mention of them from SC on their website. As time went by and more Vanessa Hudgens polishes started popping up, I noticed the same thing happening; these polishes didn't seem to exist! It was not until I saw a display at a Priceline store that I rarely visited that it finally made sense; these polishes must have been from a separate collection which had yet to be announced. And so, this is how I came to realise these were apart of the 'jungle bea...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Winter Collection, Full Collection Review

Hello everybody! I'm so very excited today because we will be looking at the Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens collaboration collection for winter! I just adore the Sinful Colors/Vanessa Hudgens collaboration polishes, they are some of my favourite polishes in my collection, so my expectations for this collection were very high (almost as high as my excitement levels!). This is a 12 piece collection (the last collection aka the Jungle Beat collection only had 8 polishes but the Festival collection also had 12, just a fun little fact) and every single one of them is shimmer polish; not a single creme in sight! This differs from the the other collaborations, which all had at least a few cremes thrown in there. But, I'm not too upset about that; I LOVE shimmer polishes, and after swatching a collection that was pretty much completely made up of creme polishes (none other than the Sinful Colors New Shades collection), I am happy to be swatching these shimmery beauties! Oh! And, before ...
