My collection of 11-free Korres polishes has just grown with this artificial-nail-level glossy, deep bejewelled colour that stuns with pretty extended wear.
Adventurers, you will find a very detailed review of the Korres formula (and four colours) in a much earlier BEAUTYCALYPSE post. Here I just want to share with your my latest find and demonstrate how it’s often true that the same make-up product will wear and last differently depending on its colour.
Korres polishes have the same formula that cuts out 11 different toxins but they all wear differently. Pale shades tend to chip earlier; and the wear gets better the more shimmer they have.
I’ve picked ’29 Violet Blue’ at the KaDeWe because I was looking for a new dark and shimmery, subtly berry-tinged shade. Something dramatic. ‘Violet Blue’ is dramatic at its best: the coverage is intense. The glossy finish is insane. The wear is killing me (seriously, I wish it had chipped, I want to wear something different but am too curious to see when it will start to disappear).
But behold 🙂
So cool, right?
The pictures don’t even really show how it sometimes looks like dark chocolate at dusk and nearly black at noon; or how the underlying colour is really purple- if not red-tinged. Absolutely amazing colour.
Spotted the next swatch? 😉
Have a happy day, Adventurer!
[…] the point of view of editorial planning, it’s a bit of a faux pas to talk nail polish this soon again, but first: who cares as long as it’s fun and, second, summer’s here, and the […]
Wow – that colour – has got me all coup de foudre-ing. Seriously impressive wear
It is TOTALLY impressive. I am now wearing the coral/hot pink shade and it’s nothing as long-lasting. Good, but not as good. / Review soon, and you’ll love the colour, too, I believe 😉
[…] I’ve reviewed one of two new 11-free Korres nail polishes lately, and the summery coral pink mani is coming […]
Really cool.
Thank you dear A.! 🙂
Gorgeous color!
I still have problems with the lasting power of the shades, but will try a few more things. It they work I will definitely check-out Violet Blue.
Thank you 🙂 I found that the brighter, pastel shades are not as lasting as the dark ones. It really depends on the exact formula of each colour. You can pick any of mine if you want to try! (I have the 5 colours reviewed + two metallic REDS I haven’t reviewed since they were limited; you can spot one of them in the post “Is Korres a green brand?”)
Gorgeous!
Merci 🙂 I appreciate long-wear products. Less fuss, n’est-ce pas?
Oooh this is such a sinfully rich and gorgeous colour! How long has it been chip-free? I’m also curious to know its lasting power!
Right? It lasted for 7.5 days, day 8 it has started to chip off on my index fingers that I usually poke at things 😀 So no wonders. I found it also easy to fix, but took ot off now to try the next one, a bright orange colour!
[…] Ultra Violet has the staying power and the ultimate vinyl lustre of ‘Midnight Blue’ which has earned it a review on its own. […]
