Seche have launched a new range of nail lacquer, promising high intensity colour and, unsurprisingly, quick dry times. This is Mémoire, described as a bright mauve cream - I'd probably call it a dusty neutral rose. It has plenty of brown and pink tones in it, making it a bit of a refreshing change from the brights and glitters I usually wear.
According to the press release, the lacquer is supposed to be opaque in a single coat - I applied two as the first one seemed a little patchy, but if you were in a hurry, one coat would be fine unless anyone was inspecting your nails in close detail. As a result of the high pigment, the polish is a little on the thick and gloopy side - application can be a little draggy and pool-y as a result if you're not careful with your brush strokes.
The polish dries reasonably quickly, looks glossy even without topcoat, and lasts a good four days before chips start to creep in. All in all, a pretty intriguing new contender in the nail polish market, and well worth checking out, even if they are a little on the expensive side at £9.95 each. Find them online at Nails By Mail, and in store at Liberty and Sally Beauty.

Very pretty! Those muted pinks usually look good on my skin tone! And pretty much everyone!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree! They're a really nice change from a pale pink if you're looking for something neutral and work friendly too.
