L'Oreal Color Riche A L'Huile Nail Varnish, Rose Ballet, Moka Chic & Cafe De Nuit : Review & Swatches!
Written by: Swati on:
Update : These polishes stain the nails yellow. Badly. Even the lighter shades. And the stain happens within minutes. I don't know why it does this, everything else about these polishes was good, but they stain :( Wouldn't recommend you to get these.
Recently we got our hands on the new L'Oreal Color Riche Le Vernis A L'Huile polishes and have been excited to share it on the blog ever since! L'Oreal nail polishes have always won our hearts with their chic shades and smooth formulations, and although they aren't the most budget friendly, owning a few is a must!
The USP of these nail polishes is that they are formulated with a micro-oils technology, for a vibrant colour, luxuriant shine and colour depth. Made with 4 precious oils (rose, camellia seed, lotus flower, and argan) this unique formula delivers rich, powerful colour and incomparable mirror shine.
First of all, let's take a moment to admire the pretty cut-glass bottles! The pattern is replicated on the brush handle as well, with the ridges nicely preventing blobs of nail polish from dropping onto your nails (surprise!). The brush is one of the best we have tried till date, slightly better than Sally Hansen triple shine ones. It fans out beautifully over the nail and the rounded edges help manouvre around the cuticles easily.
The A L'Huile polishes dry extremely quick, almost in a jiffy. They are extremely pigmented, and you can get away with a single thick coat. All the polishes have a feminine floral fragrance which lingers for 2 days post application and they dry to a highly glossy creme finish.
We got ourselves 3 shades out of the extensive collection; Rose Ballet, Cafe de Nuit, and Moka Chic. All of them are neutral shades which will work with any outfit or mood
Rose Ballet is a beautiful terracota pink, suitable for all ages.The perfect mix of red, dusty pink, and brown, we cannot take our eyes off of it! We like to think of it as a coloured neutral :)
Moka Chic is a personal favorite! It's such an interesting mushroom-y taupe shade. The brown and the grey tones of it make it a polish with very New York vibes.
Cafe De Nuit is a creamy flesh toned polish, excellent for work, or swings of 'I-don't-want-a-polish-but-I-want-a-polish' moods. The slight peach undertone keeps it from looking flat and gives a clean, sophisticated manicure look.
Price : 399 INR for 13.5ml available here
Overall, we're adoring this new addition to our nail polish stash. The formulas are exceptionally smooth and glossy.
