L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Le Vernis Shades of Grey - Aux Chandelles Review

Firstly, i love the loreal Paris range of nail polishes. They come in cute, small bottles, which makes them so affordable. Since i have never ever finished a whole nail polish, smaller size nail polishes suit me perfectly.

Perhaps the thing i love most about this range of nail polishes is the brush. This brush is near perfection. It is thick, and wide and has a perfect rounded edge which lets you get up nice and close to your cuticle, providing perfect application.

However, This formula could be considered thin , so two coats is essential, although i find three coats provides the perfect coverage for this nail polish. I know what your thinking, three coats of nail polishes? This nail polish bottle will be empty before you know it.. and your not wrong. In fact, because i use this colour so much, there is only about 1/3 of the bottle left, and when the nailpolish gets this low, it is a bit more tricky to get a perfect application because i just can't get enough nail polish on the brush. Although with patience and time, a good looking nail can be achieved, i now only reach for this colour when i have the time to get the nail polish out of the bottle. I really wish this nail wand hit the very bottom of the bottle so it would make this easier, but lets face it, this seems to be a common issue with most nail polishes.

Overall a gorgeous colour, a great brush, decent price, and application is a breeze (unless your running low). This is worth a try for sure.

I brought this after seeing it in a Beauty Poll on here, and I am in love! I had been searching for a colour like this for such a long time and once I saw this I had to get it.

It is a light blue based grey and looks stunning, these polishes have a built in top coat to achieve the finish - this shade has the finish of 'wax effect' and gives a semi-matte finish once dried. I really love this finish as it is a bit different as it isn't a pure matte, you can also add an additional top coat if needed to create the traditional glossy finish as well.

I have worn it both ways and my gosh, the staying power is amazing minimum of 5 days wear before a slight chip even took place!

The colour is also not super sheer like some paler shades can be and you can create an opaque look with just two coats.

I love the colour, the finish, the packaging and the price of this product and definitely want to try more in this collection!

The bottle that this amazing colour comes in appears to be smaller than your average nail polish bottle but it's gorgeous with is small cylindrical bottle with the loreal brand name down the side and glamourous gold lid. Upon opening the bottle I was hit right in the nostrils by quite a strong smell. But I quickly got used to it. The brush is a great size and shape and your nail can be covered in 3 easy strokes. I applied one coat which looked like a thin layer of wax but it was not enough for me! So on goes the second coat. And wow the colour is amazing and gives a super cute wax like effect. Remember when you were younger you and you used to dip your finger tips into warm wax that's what this looks like!!!! It's not Matt and it's not shiny it's waxy! And if you haven't heard wax effect is the new black! I also put top coat on some to see the effect and it turned it into a smooth glossy wax like effect. The durability of this nail polish is on par with most it last 4-5 days before I noticed cracking and small chips appearing. My 12 year old daughter loves it as well I painted her nails and accented it with fine white lines and some sparkle. I have now had to hide it from her!
