Sorry for the break between posts. It's just the general busy-ness in my life getting in the way of my creativity again. I haven't lost my blogging mojo, I just haven't had the time to let it get out!
Now for the first of my Tom Ford Nail Lacquer swatches. I was delightedly overwhelmed to receive a boxed set of TF nail lacquers for my birthday (see here) and the hardest decision was what to wear first! I ended up basing my decision on my husband's favourite pick - the vampy Bordeaux Lust. This shade is the colour of dried blood or deep wine. I was a little surprised to find a dark shade like this took three coats to build to full opacity but I think the end result was worth it. I understand why these nail colours are called nail lacquers because the finish totally reminded me of lacquered Japanese boxes. This polish is almost a jelly in its sheerness but definitely a lacquer in its finish.
