Outstanding Luxury Nail Colour – A long illness has left me with a lot of time on my hands….a lack of mobility has made the nails on said hands longer than I ever remember. As a… Read more
consequence I have developed quite the obsession regarding nail polish and believe me when I say that the Gucci Vernis à Ongles High Shine Nail Lacquer is amazingly good stuff!
Ok so for starters you can order direct online and shipping is super speedy. Your items will arrive packed beautifully (there is even an easy peasy returns process), and gifting is easy if you’re in the mood to spoil someone.
I chose two shades - Goldie Red (a bright, vintage inspired true red that looks great on both short and long nails) and Peggy Sunburn (gorgeous blush/bubblegum shade) and I love both equally!
The brush is EXCELLENT. It delivers the perfect amount and when angled correctly allows you to coat the entire nail with one swipe. The formula is outstanding but does not tolerate re-work. Be brave, back yourself. If you have missed a spot, let it dry snd fix it with an additional coat. This formula will show streaky or gloopy if you hack at it…. Two coats is perfect coverage, I use top coat religiously anyway but it was shiny without it and the formula stays a week before it starts to chip away.
Aesthetically, the vintage vibes the bottle design throws make a lovely addition to my vanity. taking me back to my childhood. Memories of sifting through my Mother’s makeup and nail polish collection wondering what it will be like when I grow up… okay, back to reality.
It’s pricey, no doubt…but the range of colours is fantastic (were m&m’s the inspo???) To be honest, even at $57 I am super impressed by this nail polish and I already have a couple more in my cart.
I recommend this nail polish as a great way to treat yourself because you deserve it. If you are looking for a manicure thst stands out from the crowd, Gucci Vernis à Ongles is the product for the task. This review is 100% honest and no incentives have been given to influence my opinion.
Luxury Beauty Splurge – Part of the recent Beauty range from Gucci, this retractable black liner is certainly a splurge at $55! For your money you can expect pretty… Read more
packaging with a pastel pink/golden bougie feel, a soft liner texture that builds beautifully, excellent staying power and enough pigment to offer true hue at even the lightest application. I bought a few items from the beauty range and this one is probably the biggest stretch in the justification stakes (it’s very hard to justify this sort of money on everyday products these days), but a recent windfall meant I could treat myself.
So, shipping from Gucci online was fast and free. The package was split, which is fine but don’t expect any samples…. Clearly not common practice at Gucci AU. You will be required to sign for it so bear that in mind when ordering. The liner itself was not as soft as I would like for a retractable/kohl but not unusable. The tip broke very easily with minimal pressure applied which surprised me. Compared to liners from Chanel, Dior, Lancôme, YSL and other luxury brands this liner is great, but not outstanding. The range of colours available, the design of the barrel and the versatile texture which allows you to line and define or smudge it out a little are the pros while price is the con here.
