Nude/Peach creme
Another Sparkle & Fade...
This one is a nude/peach creme. It reminds me of a really rich thick cream or vintage lingerie. But more peach!
Application was ok, this swatch is 3 coats, no top coat. Not sure how well this works with my skintone but I do like it.
I also found this article from Elle UK back in 2008 which seems to indicate that Models Own was first launched into Urban Outfitters - so is it a coincidence that the bottles for Sparkle & Fade are the same as Models Own?!

Vintage Varnish - Sparkle & Fade - Taupe
Taupe creme
I'm always wary of sharing polishes that are no longer available, it seems kinda mean, but these have been sitting in my swatches folder forever so I thought it was time to post them.
Sparkle & Fade were (briefly) stocked in Urban Outfitters stores. I don't know if they were an Urban Outfitters brand or just stocked by them. There aren't a whole heap of Urban Outfitters stores in the UK and I stumbled across these in the Birmingham store several years back. I picked up a few, mostly because they were half price - I do love a bargain!
Unfortunately they don't have names but here goes...
This was one of the first taupe polishes I ever bought, I was aware of Sephora by OPI - Metro Chic and I think OPI - You don't know Jacques was around but you couldn't pick up a taupe from any old brand back then.
I really like this taupe, it's a mid toned, grey leaning taupe.
The polish is nicely opaque and dries super shiny. Swatches shown are 2 coats, no top coat.
I've worn this polish so many times, taupes are definitely my go-to neutral, but I should probably cut back as this is one polish I can't easily replace...
