Above & Below: QRS Paris Night shown in 2 coats. Below pictures show it with Sinful's Opal Glitter as a top coat.
I wanted to remind you that the $3.00 coupon for QRS/Quirius expires today, so if you're thinking about ordering some polishes from this line, now's the time! Their polishes are $3.00 each, but if you order a 'choose your own 6 piece set', the price is just $15.00. Combine that with the coupon, and you're getting 6 polishes for just $2.00 each. Their customer service, shipping and turnaround time is excellent also. You can find the coupon and ordering details over in the right hand column.Paris Night is a darker shade of dusty teal, which I have a weakness for. In some lighting, it appears to be more of a muted shade of cadet blue. There looks to be the slightest hint of violet shimmer in the bottle, but once applied to the nail it is much more of a creme finish. The shimmer is noticeable in the enlarged pictures, but extremely subtle in actuality. I applied 2 coats and also used a clear top coat, as it tends to dry with a little less shine than I prefer. I then applied a coat of Sinful's Opal Glitter to add a little sparkle. Opal Glitter is a clear to milky jelly polish with small iridescent glitter that reflects a beautiful array of colors. I hope you're all enjoying the Labor Day weekend. My daughter goes back to school tomorrow, which we're both looking forward to!
Labor Day = relaxing, so I'm enjoying :) Best wishes to back to school day tomorrow! Paris Night is on my list of wants at Quirius! I need to go order six more before that coupon expires!! Thanks for the lovely swatches, Mary!

ReplyDeleteJust wondering: how about this manicure with matte top coat? Anyway, looks pretty cool allready :-)

ReplyDeleteBeautyJudy~back to school went well and now I have so much to catch up on! It's a nice color, a bit different on than in the bottle though.
ReplyDeleteNihrida~glad you like it! I should try a no buy...ha-ha, that would never last!
Amabile~I debated using a matte top instead. I think it would look fantastic matted!
Inbal~Quirius...curious :)I'll have to try it out matte, teal and matte would be beautiful.
Nosaby~Sinful makes some great polishes for top coating :)
Nail Fanatic~there are so many lesser known polish brands out there...I should go on a quest to find them all!
Kae~they have some unique shades and the formula is great. I still have 5 I haven't tried from my July order :/
Tali~it's a lovely shade! Postal systems are not functioning right! It'll show up soon :)
