Tom Ford Nail Lacquer: Viper

I saved the shade with the most dangerous sounding name until last...

Viper is one of those deep, dark aubergine (eggplant) creams that have been in favour ever since OPI really got the craze going with one of my all-time favourites, Lincoln Park After Dark.  And as the name suggests Viper is a dangerous beauty too!  As with 2 of the other 3 TF lacquers I've swatched Viper demands three coats to provide fully opaque, high lacquer coverage and shine but I really think the end result is worth it.

Is this my favourite TF swatch? 
I think it's right up there with Bordeaux Lust as I've been loving the richness of the vampies the best.

Which one's your favourite?

  1. Is this a pure black? It does look pure black but you tagged it as eggplant. I think the violet was my fav :)

    1. It looks extremely close to black but this polish has a hint of warm purple about it. It's definitely eggplant - very dark and glossy eggplant ;)

    1. I must admit it was tough picking a favourite - and knowing me I'll change my mind again with the change of season - but Viper and Bordeaux Lust are such perfect winter colours!

    1. It obviously looks more purple in real life but I think you can see the purple peeking out just at the edges - it's pretty amazing this one!
