One brand determined to entice you with its latest offerings for this year’s autumn and winter trend is Bourjois. Mixing modern day rock chick with the revolution a la francais, Bourjois’s new collection is namely dark colours with an air of sophistication.
Amongst the products from its range is its 1 Seconde Nail Enamel, available in two shades – Rouge Profond (a striking red) and Gris Cashmere, which you see above (la greige).
It claims to be take one second to paint on in one, swift stroke thanks to its wide angle and firm brush, and ooh la la, it does. Basically you can achieve a perfect manicure in just one stroke per finger nail.
The shape of the handle provides a strong grip, making it effortless to apply and it dries very quickly (in 50 seconds according to the instructions on the bottle) though I would suggest longer.
But one coat? I don’t think so. Two coats are needed for full coverage. Above is precisely two coats without a top coat.
Gris Cashmere is a dupe for so many greiges out there so it’s down to personal preference but for £5.49, it ain’t half bad. A thick, luscious creme polish that dries fast and looks fabulous.
This was given to me for review purposes. The new collection from Bourjois arrives next month. For more information, visit www.bourjois.co.uk.
Unsurprisingly, I love this. It’s me all over. It’s not that unique, but I really can’t get enough of these types of shades – they’re my favourite.

I love it too. I’ve never tried a Bourjois polish.
It’s a complete dupe for No7’s Beanie! I discovered that last night, holding the two bottles together. No chipping so far, which is something Beanie is guilty of…
I just picked this up from Tescos! Another to add to my greige family 🙂
Blimey one stroke? I can’t believe it (Victor Meldrew is in the room!). Have never tried Bourjois nail varnishes at all – didn’t even known they manufactured nail varnish. Will have to check out. Thanks for the post and pics Jan x
I’ve always loved this shade of polish. Looks fantastic on you. I’m glad there are more companies coming out with this shade. I just can’t resist them.
Bourjois make great polishes. I love this one. They will not do funky blues or greens or purples but what they do they do very well.
*rant on* £5.49?! how come Bourjois polishes are so much cheaper in the UK? gaaaaah that’s not fair >.< *rant off*
Anyway I'm soooo into taupe/greige colours at the moment, I'm definitely grabbing that one! I didn't even know it was being released. I'll have to ask my favourite SA to save me a bottle ^^
Ohhh I am SO going to have to get this. It’s work friendly (as I’m not allowed bright colours), lovely!

Not a big fan of the colour but I love that wide brush! x
That looks lovely! I have some really old favourite Bourjois polishes, I wouldn’t mind giving this one a try.
