Recently, Sheenie blogged about the new Bourjois collection, Paris Ballerine. This new Spring range contains two nail varnishes – a pale pink, and this little beauty, Bleu Asphalte.
I fell in love with this one from the promotional pictures, and so when I was given the chance to try it out, I was ever so pleased as this is one of the most fantastic colours I’ve sported in a long while. Not quite grey, not quite blue, it is really unique and I love it.
This was two coats of utter perfection. I would
have thought that those with smaller nails would be able to get away with one coat. This polish is so pigmented and shiny, and honestly, I cannot praise it enough. Perhaps a bit of a risk for a Spring shade, this is definitely dark and verging on the vamp, but I like it as an alternative to all of the pastels and neons that are creeping onto the radar again.
My only criticism of this is that the bottle claims that this polish will last for seven days. Not so sure about that. I had definite signs of wear on my thumbs after two days and this was definitely ready to come off after four days.
However – would I recommend it? Definitely. There’s no colour like this on the market at the moment and it garnered me so many compliments when I wore it. Application is a breeze and I couldn’t stop staring at my nails as I was wearing it. I really hope this is part of the Bourjois permanent collection as I certainly rate this one as backupworthy.
