My Ideal Black – YSL La Laque Couture #27 Noir Primitif Nail Polish: Review & Swatches

YSL La Laque Couture #27 Noir Primitif Nail Polish Review Swatches

If you haven’t found that ideal black or are worried about pulling it off, please read on.

It took me a while to be comfortable with the idea of wearing black nail polish. Before, I always felt like it was only something that a self-proclaimed punk and goth would wear, but in the recent years I’ve started to fall in love with this color on my nails.

This particular nail polish is everything you could dream of – thin, but supple texture that goes on evenly and doesn’t emphasize any nail irregularities. For an ideal coverage, you need two layers. Thanks to the very useful flexible brush, the polish goes on perfectly and I barely needed to do any touchups.

It dries fairly quickly, in about 15 mins. It has a really great shine to it, but I personally still put a top coat on. It stays on the nails for about three days.

The removal is easy and seamless. At first, I was worried that a color like this would leave some “aftercolor” behind on the nail or would take forever to get off, but thankfully that’s not the case.

All in all, it’s an incredible classy, statement color, and even the bottle has a strong and elegant design – a must have for any nail polish addict!

Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour #559 Frenzy VS #661 Precious Beige Review Swatches

 

One of my of my favourite nail polish colours is Frenzy! Probably its strongest selling point is in its complex shade. It’s a light “greige” colour that works with so many outfits and occasions. It fits me perfectly, gives my hands a certain lightness and sophistication. The polish is quite watery, and I always put on two coats, because you get stripey with just one. With three, though, you do lose that airiness. It dries in about 15 minutes and I always feel like I want to put on a glossy top coat, because unfortunately it loses its sheen on the second day for me. This nail polish wears really nicely for 4 days and is practically intact by the end – I almost feel bad for removing it! This nail polish is definitely in my top 10!

Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour # 661 Precious Beige

This is my absolute go-to colour! It’s a beautiful pink-beige with a bit of pizzaz. It contains sparkling microshimmer, which gives the polish a chameleon-like ability that makes it work with every colouring. If you don’t have time for a full  manicure, you only need one layer of Precious Beige and you get perfectly presentable hands for either everyday or special occasions. The texture of the nail polish is watery, goes on flawlessly and distributed well on the nail. A second coat gives it shine and volume and you don’t even need a top coat. It dries in minutes and wears for up to 4 days. In my opinion, it’s a universally-flattering shade. Here are some photos under different lighting.
