Rococo - Spellbound

Blue-green with foil shimmer







After my generally good results with Rococo polishes from the SpaceNK bargains last year, I picked up a couple more in the treasure trove that is TK Maxx!

Spellbound is a gorgeous slightly green blue packed with fine blue shimmery foil.  Although it does look a bit glitter like it's not gritty at all, the foil gives a much smoother finish.

The shimmeryness isn't quite as visible on the nail as in the bottle, but she's still very pretty!

Application was good and swatches are 2 coats, no top coat.

RRP for Rococo is around the £12, I paid £3 in TK.

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!

Rococo - Purple Haze

Light purple pearl  





Purple Haze is a light purple pearl.  As such it's a bit brush-strokey and rather dated looking.

Application was tricky, unlike a previous Rococo the brush was ok on this one but it was very runny and of course the brush-stroke issue with a pearl makes things more difficult.

Rococo call this finish 'Luxe'

Swatches are 2 coats, no top coat.

Can't say this one really floats my boat - good job it was only £1.50 in the SpaceNK sale!  A total bargain as Rococo normally retail at £12...

Rococo - Peace Out

Bright warm green creme  





Recently I picked up a handful of Rococo polishes from the SpaceNK sale.  Mostly because they were only £1.50, which for a brand that retails at £12 seemed like quite the bargain.  And because I didn't have any Rococo in my stash.

Peace Out is a cross between a lime and khaki green, it's bright but also a bit murky, I don't think I have anything similar to this - it's definitely more yellow toned than the OPI Shrek greens

Application was good, swatches are 2 coats, no top coat.
