Hey!

Long time no see! I've missed writing the blog, but with two jobs it's not always an easy task, and furthermore, my skin was so oily this summer, no makeup would stay put so I admitted defeat.

Now Fall is there and my skin is somewhat normal so I'm  glad to use my magic pots once again!

Todays' polish is from a set I bought last year in Paris. I already feature the set in my Un Jardin givré post, and Perce-Neige from the set last year. 

The set was a special edition for Christmas, and it is sad to think I will not be able to purchase them this year! All Marionnaud polishes I have tried applied like a dream. This one did not last long though, but I have jobs where I use my hands a lot, so this has to be kept in mind.

Marionnaud nail polish, 3,90 euros.

Today I'm sporting Marionnaud's Perce-Neige. I already featured the kit it is from in a Manicure Monday post a month ago.

As the other Marionnaud polishes, I like the brush it comes with, it is flat and wide, and makes for an easy peasy application with minimal mess to clean up!

Perce-Neige is a blue tone pink a little similar to Mavala Ginza, but more on the pink side. It's a creamy colour with the tiniest shimmer.

Marionnaud Il était une fois... un jardin givré nail lacquers set, 19.99€

There it is! My first Manicure Monday Post in a while (granted, it is Tuesday)!

On my nails today is a new French addition to my nail polish collection, Marionnaud Rouge Attraction. In the bottle it is a deep cherry red, but it translate lighter on the nails. The result is still pretty though.

One thing I've noticed with Marionnaud polish (I have another colour on my toes and tried a few in-store) is that even though you wipe off the excessfrom the brush, you have to be careful as polish tend to stay on the wand, and then drip unto the brush. That way you can easily paint all the nails of one hand without having to dip again in the bottle, but you have to look out not to make a mess!

Marionnaud polishes are available in Marionnaud stores (similar to Sephora) in France and are 4,90€.

Have you ever tried Marionnaud before?
