It is nice to be back 🙂 Work was very hectic and a pain-in-the-a$$! Lot of tension flying back and forth that by the end of the day I was in no mood to pen down basic words. Spent my time watching some very interesting TV series and reading some good books to relax. Now after a nice “detox” session I’m back to the blogging grind. I dug through my to-be-reviewed stash and found one of the nail paints that I had bought from the L’Oreal Cannes Collection. A shade called Bronze Parure. 

 

     Since the packing is exactly the same as the other two shades that I have reviewed so far – Flaming Sunset & L’Or Amethyst, I will not go down that road (if you want to read about that detail then click of any of the shade names). But what I do want to point out is that though the brush is same as before, big and clumsy, it was not much of a problem here. Now let me just jump right into the color and texture of the thing.

 

I will admit that I’m in love with this one. I liked it much more than the other two that I have talked about earlier. This is just a class apart for me and what is actually an uber glamorous shade something that I can imagine wearing while walking down the red carpet. The shade is quite unusual and looks different under various lights. Unlike the others this has a transparent nail paint base. There are dual sized glitter in it – fine and chunky round ones.

 

Fine glitter is made up of lavender, silver and black particles from what I can make out. The chunky glitter is pale gold in color. In certain light the purple shade can be made out and in another light the silver and black tones becomes more prominent. Being a majorly glitter based paint this goes on streaky on the nails. What I had to do was put on one coat and let it be. Trying to cover/pat on the patches caused more of the paint to lift off.

However when I let it be and then put on a second coat I got an even coverage and then when I had to pat it on to cover up the paint did not lift from the exiting areas. I got proper coverage in two coats. The top feels gritty and to smooth it a bit I applied a transparent top coat. It helped some what but what it actually did (and I liked)  was to add an extra shine to the look. Honestly I could not help but stare at it. Totally up my alley.

But like all great romances this too comes to a screeching halt! Chips out in chunks by the second day 🙁 (Waah!). Sigh then comes the painful part of removing it 😛 But it was fun while it lasted and given how this looks I don’t mind anything. Definitely worth picking if you like glitter paints. The color of it is so versatile that it will go with all your outfits.

I still have one more to go from this collection. Let’s see how that one works out for me. Did you like this shade? Would you get his for yourself or is it too bling for you? As always I’m eager to hear from you. See you soon!
