More L'Oreal Color Riche Nail Varnish - Blue Reef, Rebel Blue & Beige Countess

I am obsessed!! sent Emily back to Boots in her lunch break on Wednesday to pick up Rebel Blue and Blue Reef for me.  Have taken pics of both and added the  Beige Countess that Em bought on Tuesday and has worn since, its a lovely "work appropriate" nude!  So enough waffle, on with the pics!
Rebel Blue, Blue Reef, Beige Countess - again all very colour accurate


Numbers and names in same order as above


Rebel Blue has some shimmer to it, which was a disappointment - when I saw it on Tuesday I was convinced it was a cobalt cream but when Em brought it home on Weds it was less cobalt and had this annoying shimmer into the bargain - L'Oreal please please please a bright, gorgeous Cobalt cream the colour of the Hermes Birkin bag would be perfect, thank you!

The shimmer isn't really visible here


The lone bottle pic for this one came out too dark, this is colour accurate.

If you click on this one to enlarge you can see shimmer running up the middle


I wore Rue Monmartre for 3 days with only a very small amount of tip wear, no base, no top coat.  I only took it off because I was sooo desperate to try Blue Reef.  Which looks like this:



Oops nearly forgot - I got a better pic of the brush which is flat and with a curved end and makes application a breeze.

 So gorgeous it hurts!  So hope this inspires some weekend nail splurging, please please let me know which you bought and what you thought!  And if anyone knows of a the perfect, super glossy cobalt cream pleas let me know - I had the Barry M one, but its not glossy enough and Barry M polish doesn't light my fire, sorry!!

  1. Hi, I'm your latest follower!

    Just wanted to say that it sounds like Kiko is what you're after for the cobalt blue nail polish. They have some fantastic blue shades and the few I have wear like iron for me.

    HTH!

  2. Hi Nazia thanks for following, sorry I didn't reply sooner I missed your comment. Thanks for the hint re Kiko, dont think anyone stocks them near me but I will keep my eyes open! I think Dior Electric Blue might be exactly what I am looking for having done some more googling, although I might find it hard to get hold of! x
