La Moss/Brunette on the Internet/Rouge Noir

1 coat

1 coat

2 coats

2 coats

Comparing the 3 vampy wine shades that i have. My newest purchase La Moss I am quite disappointed with. It goes on quite streaky and uneven, you need at least 3 coats and it still looks jarred, even with a careful hand. The only good thing about it is that after 3 coats its a good dupe for Chanel Rouge Noir, which was the premise of why i purchased it in the first place. Its more on the purpley side. But Rouge Noir is still so much deeper and richer a color, and goes on much more agreeably and looks very chic. Brunette on the Internet is a nice alternative, its a shade lighter, but the formula is a lot better than La Moss. And it has a more pronounced wine color. Think of Brunette on the Internet as a light Pinot Noir, and Rouge Noir as a deep Merlot.

*Chanel Jasmine NOTD*

An oldy, tracked down on ebay. Its a soft matte pinky nude, lighter than Inattendu, close to Jade Rose but peachier and more opaque. It looks very clean and polished on the nails. I got a little excited and threw on some Servin' Up Sparkle on my ring fingers, there was no need. I'm getting a little obsessed with hard to find Chanel polishes, I get so excited when i track one down at a store or on ebay for a reasonable price. When its a good formula, Chanel polish looks amazing. But maybe its just me, lol. You cant beat finding one at a store, I just found Diabolic at a counter retail price $25, it goes on ebay for no less then $50:D

Henley Regatta, La Moss, and The Old Bill

Wanting to take advantage of the Butter sale at Ulta the other day I grabbed the rest on my wish list. But now i think i should get Chancer:(( Ulta unfortunately only carries the minimal line, and their stock is very ify.

I grabbed The Old Bill, cause the name is great, and Laura wrote a blog post about how much she loved it. I think its ok, its a little boring for my skin tone, but i would top it off with Servin' Up Sparkle on all the fingers. In the pic i just have in on my ring finger. It makes it much more interesting, and satiates my sparkle craving.

To add to my vamp nail polish collection i got La Moss. In the bottle it looks very similar to Chanel's Rouge Noir, but i swatched it a little and it is definitely a lot thinner and brighter pink than the thick Rouge Noir. But i still have to compare them with two coats.

Henley Regatta, I absolutely love this color. I got it for the Jacksonville Jaguars which is our city football team, its a pretty similar teal and very eye catching:D

*Servin' Up Sparkle* - The Sparklicious NOTD

I've been craving a sparklicious silver glitter. To place over a pretty nude. And i think i've found it, Serena Williams Servin' Up Sparkle, by OPI. Its opaque in two coats easy, and it has little baby specks, as well as bigger silver dots:D Today i wore it over OPI Coney Island Cotton Candy, not my fav nude (its too sheer and finicky), but i'm in the process of getting Chanel Jasmine and Inattendu, more reliable glorious staples that will always look fantastic. The combo reminds me of the risque Britney Spears nude ensemble the she performed in years ago, with the rhinestones all over it.... yes that's what i was going for Britney Spears lol. Also had to pick up a new top coat my Seche Vite hath runneth out. I went back to my fav OPI Rapid Dry, i think it goes on a lot cleaner then Seche. And also to quench my dry cuticles, my biggest pet peeve, i picked up Dior's Creme Abricot nail cream. I know its a splurge, but it works instantly, and works best when you put it on before bed. Its very thick and ooey-gooey, and has a apricot scent. A little goes a long ways.
