L'Oréal Miss Pixie NOTD
19:04:00.JPG)
When I first saw the L'Oréal Miss Pixie nail polish in Dollarama I grabbed it and said: that's it, it's mine!
At first, I thought it looked like the Nails Inc. Baker Street, which is stunning. I then swatched it in the car to realized it was not opaque, but a sheer finish and was dispointed.
I then googled it and found out it was part of a gelly-like collection that came out last year. Maybe it didn't came to my little corner of the world because of course I would've recalled this colour! My reserches showed that the sheerness would somewhat disapear with three coats and would leave me with a vibrant and glossy blue polish.
So the other night I proceded to paint my three coats. The polish had a weird smell. It was kinda similar to pot. I'm not even joking, my mum was making faces hahaha! But the result was indeed stunning. It is still sheer, but streak-free.
The downside is that it chips easily. Like I found a blue flake on my breakfast plate that clearly came from my index finger. I didn't apply a top coat, because most of the times I don't and also because I really wanted to see the glossyness of the polish by itself, but I guess in the future I'll have to put some.
Do you have any good dupe for Nails Inc Baker Street?

Thank you! Yes, it is pretty! I love bold colours :)
Deletegorgeous colour, but the pot smell? that is so strange. I only have a couple L'oreal polishes and I find all of them a bit sheer but none of them smell.
ReplyDeleteI know it's weird! Maybe it's a daft one, as I have never came across a nail polish that smelled something else than polish!
DeleteLovely colour, never really thought of wearing a colour like that before x
ReplyDeleteIt's quite a bold colour! But it's easier to wear bold on the nails when you're "starting out" ;)
DeleteI think more layers must look better, but really good color :

I know what you mean, I really wish it'd be more opaque.
