American Nails - Make Up Collection

Dear Reader - American Nails is still hip with their new launched collection called *Make Up* - like 2008 this collection includes 3 stylish, also for business wearable nail polishes! All three have finest sparkling dust inside, which makes them really interesting!
American Nails - Naked Starlet

Naked Starlet is the taupest shade of the collection, with a little touch to Mauve. It is brighter and more sheer as Prince Charming/Orly. This are 3 layers...

American Nails - Blush Powder

Blush Powder is the most opaque polish and a creamy, bright pastel peach. For perfect results you must apply 3 coats. Important: polish with light hand and make sure you have enough polish on the brush or otherwise with too much pressure or too less colour on you will damage the layers underneath!

American Nails - Sparkling Champagne

My favourite in this collection is this - Sparkling Champagne, a bright sand, not too boring beige, not too rose! A shade which matches the most skin shades! With this colour also two layers are great!

Resumee - for all, who needs an alternate to boring nude polishes this three shade with the fine sparkling effect are great and everything else then boring! How do you like them?

Comparison: CHANEL Particuliere vs. Alternativen

Dear Reader - now I have had the time to swatch the trend colour from CHANEL with these beautiful alternate colours!

ORLY Prince Charming, CHANEL Particuliere, OPI Over The Taupe und OPI You Don't Know Jacques!




I swatched the nail polishes in two variations: artificial light and natural day light...








The details:

ORLY Prince Charming
is very close to Particuliere, just a hint brighter and cooler. Like always this ORLY polish is easy to apply, offers a good opacity and a normal drying time!

OPI Over the Taupe
is the shade which is closest to the Original - what is your opinion: Do you see any difference?

OPI You Don't Know Jacques!
is a bit darker and more greyish, but besides this a beautiful colour to wear the Taupe trend!




What do you think? Is CHANEL the very expensive price of almost 60 Euro on ebay worth or are the alternates as beautiful as the Original?
