Rococo - Brown Button

Deep burgundy creme  





Another of my bargain Rococo's - this time the slightly oddly named Brown Button

Odd because Brown Button isn't actually very brown at all - it's more of a deep burgundy creme.

Brown Button also leans purple unlike the burgundy classics like Chanel's Rouge Noir or Nails Inc Victoria which tend to lean red and have more of a crelly finish.  Instead Brown Button has a slight creamy/opaque aspect to it rather than the sheer of a crelly.

Application was great, swatches shown are 2 coats, no top coat.  But look at that shine!

Leighton Denny - Rampant Rose

Deep dusky pink creme  




Rampant Rose is a deep creamy, pink shade with a hint of dusky brick tones...

Swatch shown is 2 coats with no top coat but look how super shiny it is.

Fantastic application, brush, formula on this one.

Nails Inc November - Bruton Mews

Glossy deep green creme  






Bruton Mews is a fantastic deep slightly forest leaning green creme.

Swatch shown is 2 coats, no top coat and it's beautifully glossy.

For me this is a fantastic dark green, deep enough but without ever looking black.

Application was great with barely any cleanup required.

Bruton Mews is from the Autumn/Winter 2012 collection and is still available from Nails inc

Nails Inc November - Paddington Street

Deep red creme/crelly  





Paddington Street is a dark red creme with, like a lot of these kinds of red, slight jelly tendencies.

Swatch shown is 2 coats with no top coat.  Amazing application, the kind of cremes that nails inc excel at.

It's not as dark as that Nails Inc stalwart, Victoria.

Blimey, Looks like I haven't shared Victoria with you all yet which is a mistake as it's definitely a classic.

Whilst not as dark or as brown toned as Victoria it does looks to be pretty similar to Winchester from the Mad Men collection.

So here's a comparison  between  Winchester and Paddington Street.  Paddington Street is on my index and ring fingers, Winchester on middle and pinky.




Winchester is a tiny smidge lighter but there's very little in it.  I'm calling it a near enough dupe.  Winchester is also more opaque, nearly a one-coat-wonder.
