Golden Rose - Paris 140

Deep grey/navy crelly 

Another from my Istanbul haul...

140 is a greyed navy crelly, which applies both darker but slightly less grey than it looks in the bottle.

Application was great and these swatches are 3 coats, no top coat.

But look at that shine!  I can see the sky and the green bush outside my window reflected in the shine.

Models Own - Utopia

Greyed pale pink/lilac creme  

I really thought I'd blogged this one years ago, but couldn't find it anywhere so here it is (maybe again!)

Utopia is a pretty unusual colour that totally works.  I'd say it was a pale pink leaning lilac that definitely has a hint of grey in there that stops it looking too 'standard' if you know what I mean.

Application was ok, although it did take 3 coats and I needed to add topcoat to smooth it all out, but it looks fab after all that!

And could this be the closest polish name to my blog name?!

Alessandro - Dancing Queen

Greyed purple shimmer  

Dancing Queen from Alessandro is a dusky greyed purple shimmer.

This one is a mini bottle, 5ml.

The swatch pictures are 2 coats but looking at them here I should've done 3!

Sally Hansen - Delphinium

Smokey lilac creme   

Most people would probably think of Delphiniums as blue and I think that is the more common colour but the colour range of the flowers can go all the way to this subtle lilac.

Swatch shown is 2 coats, no top coat.  The formula was ok but unfortunately for me and my tiny nails the Sally Hansen polish has a big fat/flat brush - I just about made it work but grrrgghhh....

P2 - Good Luck

Greyed green creme

P2 Color Victim in Good Luck

Good Luck is a greyed green creme - in the same colour family as RBL Diddy Mow and  Essie Sew Psyched but darker and with no shimmer.  It is madly shiny though, I've found a number of P2's have this amazing shine.

Swatch shown is 2 coats, no top coat, despite the shininess

Application and brush were good

P2 is a brand available in Europe, but not the UK sadly.  I picked this one up in Germany last year.
