Layering Fun - Lancome Vernis Absolu Boogie Nights & Essense Denim Wanted! Fivepocket Grey

*Jumps up and down while waving*

I'm going to try my best not to ramble on during this post, but I'm so exited about this combo. :D Oh, Lancome. I only have a few of your polishes, but this may very well be the crown jewel of what I have! This, ladies and gentlemen (maybe gentlemen? Hmm.....) is Boogie Nights. I know nothing about this polish except I saw it on Kaz's blog when I very first got into polish, and came across it on a blog sale a few months back. It's AH-MAZ-ZING. It's a mini-sized Lancome, and I may just up my left big toe for a full-size. Boogie Nights starts off with a dusty grey sheer base, jam-packed with small grey glitter. It shines in such a unique way. I have nothing else remotely close in my stash! Oh, does it sparkle and shine. *Fans myself* GAWD. LOVE. Two coats over Essence Denim Wanted! Fivepocket Grey. 





Riiiiiiight?!
Here are some quick shots of the grey creme polish underneath the masterpiece, Essence Denim Wanted!'s Fivepocket Grey. I love this color, but I HATE HATE HATE this brush. It was so soft and flimsy it was hard to control. SUCKED. Ah well, still turned out great! Two coats shown.



Amazing right?!

Lancome Vernis Absolu in Air

Mornin'!

I recently became the proud owner of two great vintage Lancome Vernis Absolu polishes - and for under four bucks with shipping total on eBay. I love it when I'm the only one bidding on gems like these. The second one will have to be a surprise until it's debut. :P Today I have Air for you. Yep, it's awesome. Just you wait.




I wasn't kidding, right? Friggin awesome! I will be researching more of these vintage Lancome Vernis Absolu's for sure! Air is a really whimsical polish - a feel that really draws me in. Air is very sheer, but the iridescence really amps it up and it holds it's own! Iridescent blue with lilac undertones and iridescent blue glitter. LOVE! I will definitely have to swatch it over a great blue. This was four coats, a lot - I know - but totally worth it. 


Whimsical goodness!
Do you own any vintage Lancome's?<3Dana
