Cam rebellion

The manicure in this post made me really happy, in many ways. Enough to immediately photograph it, load the photos in the computer - only to find that it just did not photograph correctly. Usually when this happens (and it does happen more often than I'd like), I just leave those pics to rot in the god forgotten folder of unprocessed photos, in my huge "nails" folder, but this time I decided to just finish editing and leave it all to rot in a Blogger post draft. A week has now gone by, and I decided to post these anyway. Maybe they're not that far off after all. Maybe I was just harsch. And still, even in this form it's an amazing blue shimmer. This is Rebel Blue from the L'Oréal Color Riche Le Vernis line.

Two coats and looking gooood. It's been a really long time since I worked with such a nice polish. Creamy, pigmented, but not too thick, and the brush is fantastic! It's a wide model, with a rounded tip, and the bristles fan out so nicely. A joy to use. And already at first coat the coverage was really good. You all know me by now - I do three coats. Not this time. No need. In reality, I perceived this color as slightly more cornflower blue, even leaning the slightest bit towards a dark periwinkle, but in bright light, sure, it's mostly just kablam! blue.

The pleasant experience of applying this polish almost makes me forget how darn expensive it is. I had been eyeing this particular shade ever since this line was introduced on the Swedish market, but no way was I going to pay 59 SEK (more than 8 USD) for 5 milliliters! However, some Swedish stores have occasional "offers", when you can save a dollar or so... Usually not very generous discounts, but seeing the red numbers by the L'Oréal counter made me grab this one. I doubt I will make it a habit, but it sure was fun trying out!

Swedish word of the day:
kornblå -adjective cornflower blue
One particularily nice shade of blue.
