ysl op art coral (pop illusion)

op art coral was a part of ysl spring collection, pop illusion, back in 2018, together with the gorgeous kinetic blue.


op art coral is a very interesting shade, but not really something i usually wear. i am really not the one for this typically "girly" colours, but i am happy i have something like this in my arsenal because it is a nice summery shade.

as the name implies, it is a peachy, corally type of shade, almost pastel but not quite. the formula and coverage are superb, and it really is a good polish to have around when i need something more...well, regular.

a england lady of the lake (the mythicals)

it is time for another a england beauty, lady of the lake from the amazing the mythicals collection. i already showed excalibur revamped and tristam from it.


lady of the lake is another jackpot from a england arsenal. it is described as "dusky purple with rainbow glimmer and glow".

the shade of purple is really deep and holo particles really fine, so the finish is smooth but not with the linear holo effect. indoors, the holo effect is not that obvious,  but the shade is beautiful anyway. formula is, once again, flawless.

picture polish tiffany (light shades)

 tiffany is a very old picture polish shade from back in 2009 and it belongs to their light shades collection, together with sky.

it feels like the entire world went crazy over this type of shades, myself included. back in the days, pp people were very wordy with their descriptions, and i am giving you the all of it: "Diamonds with breakfast? Yes, please! In fact, we’ll take diamonds with any meal! Inspired by the iconic movie we all know and love, Tiffany nail polish is an eggshell blue nail polish. As a soft and bright tone of lighter blue, Tiffany nail polish is an elegant colour with a dash of fun. Wear Tiffany nail polish to release your inner movie star, and you’ll be ready for the red carpet!"

it is a beautiful, pastel creme, of this undescribable, tuquoise, sea weed shade. the formula is quite solid for such an old polish. it is one of those striking, very eye-catching but not insanely out there shades.
