If you watched my last haul video on YouTube, you may have seen my latest nail polish purchase. (On a side note, you'll also know that I bought it in an attempt to match the colour of my new car, which it is absolutely nothing like so we won't worry about that!)
This is my first purchase from Accessorize's new line of cosmetics and I'm rather impressed! They have quite a large selection of nail polishes, including quite a few pretty duochrome shades, which aren't too common on the high street at the moment.
This shade is an interesting combination of golden bronze and a pinky-plum colour. It applied smoothly, opaque in two coats and (helped along by Sally Hansen's Insta-Dry top coat) dried in next to no time.
Having said that, something about this colour leaves me wanting more. Don't get me wrong, I like it... but I don't love it. From the look of the bottle I thought it was going to be more pink, but in most lights it's the bronze that shines through (which doesn't show in the photos, typical!)
As the title suggests this polish is pretty, but not perfect. I'd love to try some more of the Accessorize line though, I was really impressed by the quality and packaging.
Would love to hear all your thoughts on the new line? Anything that's caught your eye?
*update* I initially posted this polish as 'Aztec' but have since found out it is in fact 'Bronze' and my box was mis-labelled - sorry girls! x
I haven't tried the new line but I actually really like all the pictures here so I might be picking this one up. :)
ReplyDeleteThis nail polish is gorgeous! I would like to know how long it lasts on you nails.
ReplyDeleteI really hope you find a nail polish that matches your car, especially since I would love to have a triochrome nailpolish (if you can call it that way ^^)!
I'm quite a new blogger! I would really appreciate you checking out my blog!
THANK YOU :)

I really like the mineralized products, I have the blush in Starlet and the bronzer in Golden Sand. They are both gorgeous!

papapapaaaa I'm lovin' it ! hehe
ReplyDeleteIt's not the best but I think Purple Dream would be better to get the blue and purple tones from the picture. The issue is getting something with the red or pink but maybe purple dream might help.
ReplyDeleteI saw these in superdrug the other day and was very much tempted but nice to know they're quite impressive cause I might one or two on my next trip :)

Im thinking that maybe 'pretty but not perfect' sums up their whole line. I did a blog post on another one of their nail products earlier this year, feel free to check it out. I love the colour!

ReplyDeleteDefo recommend Aztec nail polish, its like a purple, green, blue. nothing like your car colours lol, but its a nice polish
<3
I really like the colour. It's definitely very different from what I've seen around lately.

Aww shame it didn't match your car though :)
ReplyDeleteIzzy x
you have such pretty fingers haha. Sounds a bit strange but that was like the first thing I noticed.
ReplyDeletei agree with you on the nail polish (:

Fleur I saw your car on twitter and I'm so jealous! I have a regular old cream cooper and wish it was a convertible
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the OPI polish in not like the movies, which im not so keen about eiter haha.
ReplyDeletevery pretty! love the color!

I think the color is really pretty! I think this color is really close to the color that you want or check out others by the Oztic Pro bland they have a lot of duochrome nail polishes!

I LOVE THE COLOR! It looks so great on your hands. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the whole Accessorize range to be honest, literally everything!
ReplyDeletexoxo
I love the Accessorize Illusions line. My favourites are Pink Spice (supposedly a dupe for Mac's Bad Fairy), Mermaid, Electric Blue and Purple Dream. All of them amazing application and dry fast even without top coat! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Fleur! just in case you missed my comment on your latest haul :)
ReplyDeleteI think i found a nail colour that matches your car - OPI designer series in Royal, although it is more on the glittery pink side :)
I've bought a fair few things of theirs such as their eye shadow and also the eye pigments (their eye dust or whatever it's called lol) and they seem pretty good to me! Really pigmented. I love the range of colors of their products. I recently got their coral color nail polish. It's really pretty, however I wasn't too keen on their brush for the polish. Needs to be longer preferably for me. But overall I like their products! Decent product for the price. Some items are 2 for £4.99 in Superdrug just an FYI :)
ReplyDeleteI tend to be a bit fussy with nail polishes, so I doubt I'm going to try them any time soon, but the blushers are amazing! Such pretty colours and a nice application! :)
ReplyDeletexx
Are you sure that's Aztec? I have Aztec and it looks nothing like in your pictures, it's kind of purpley with a green duochrome. The polish you are wearing looks more like Bronze from the Accessorize range.
ReplyDeleteI love the accessorize nail polishes, they go on so easy and are amazing quality for the price.
you should try stargazer nail polish because i think they have a similar colour
ReplyDeleteThats so pretty! And it has me wondering what color your car is haha...
ReplyDeleteembellishmentsbeauty.blogspot.com
i love it, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a nail polish-girl, but I do LOVE this color, it's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHm...I'm personally not a fan...but I don't usually go for brownish polishes. I do want to try a tan polish one day!
ReplyDeletenice color!
ReplyDeletehttp://loresfashion.blogspot.com
the shade of this reminds me a lot of the Orly Cosmix polishes
ReplyDeleteNoice! The colours do look lovely, very unique!
ReplyDeleteHow much is each bottle? :)
xoxo
Oh, just watched your video :) £4 xD
ReplyDeletexoxo
That is such a pretty color! It looks good on your hands :)
ReplyDeleteLove Sonia xxx
Could you please link me to the picture of your car? I really want to see it's color.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if it's what you're looking for but check out Diava's Lacquer Box's post about the Orly Cosmic FX polishes! Saw it on my blog feed and thought the Space Cadet polish looks a bit similar... xxx

i bought aztex today thinking it was this one, and was thinking this looks nothing like this, so glad i checked, will get this one now!!
ReplyDeleteI love this colour! Might have to give it a whirl next time I'm in Superdrug!
ReplyDeleteI'd love it if anyone fancied checking out my new blog.

i have this polish and actually i really like it, it wasnt quit how i thought it the bottle but i think for £4 its a duochrome steal :)
ReplyDeleteI have the accessorize bronzer in 'Golden Sand' which makes for a really lovely highlighter and is a great dupe for MAC's msfs. I was perusing nail polish on asos the other day and noticed that Pink Fever by Model's Own might be similar to what you're looking for to match your car? xxx
ReplyDeleteLOVE! Really pretty color!
ReplyDeletehey,saw your car on twitter and fell in love with it! such a pretty color..
ReplyDeletei'm looking forward to see the cosmetic collection of accesorize btw,i'm from Turkey and i's not arrived yet to the accesorize stores in here.
http://thebeehivee.blogspot.com hope you like my blog and follow:)
The new range caught my eye, but I came away thinking it was a little girlie for me (very like your car actually, Oh So cute and stunning, but a little girlie for me). I think I need to have a proper look to see if I can find anything a little more exotic or edgy in there.
ReplyDeleteIts still such a gorgeous colour tho!!
ReplyDeletehope you find a match for your car!! its so unique coloured!!
I've yet to purchase anything from the Accessorize line, but looks like i'll be doing so soon! I love these types of nail polish. Please keep us updated on other shades you buy, i'd love to see more :)
ReplyDeleteMuch Love,
Lauran

Its a dupe of MAC Venomous Villians Mean and Green Polish for less!
ReplyDeleteDefinately try Beetle by Hard Candy! I think it is the exact colour you are looking for :)
ReplyDeleteI bought 5 of these polishes last week... mermaid, electric blue, aztec, purple passion and pink spice they are all absolutely gorgeous. I also got a baked duo eyeshadow (3- high maintenance), it's good for the price!
ReplyDeleteCheck out Ozotic Pro, looks like they have some gorgeous multi chrome colours... I really want some, I just can't find where to buy them in the uk... please let me know if you find out! xxx
