L’Oreal Vernis A L’Huile Nail Polish

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today’s post will be on the relatively new nail polish line, Vernis A L’Huile, from L’Oreal. I was in England (for my summer holiday) when I first spotted these in Superdrug. I absolutely fell in love with the packaging of this nail polish line, and couldn’t help but buy 2 of my favourite shades. So, I picked 116 Café De Nuit, which is a perfect peachy nude shade, and 224 Rose Ballet, which is a muted pinky brown shade.

Description:

The L’Oreal  Vernis A L’Huile nail polish line sets it apart from other high street brands by infusing oil into their nail polish. L’Oreal also claims that it gives an intense colour (in only one stroke) and has a mirror-like shine. This nail polish line was launched in around June 2016 and comes in 22 different shades. It also has a wide, fan shaped brush for easier application. The packaging is also very pretty, which is why I got it in the first place (I know, girls need any excuse to buy). You get 13.5 ml of product which is slightly more than what you’d get with other drugstore brands.

What I like about this nail polish:

There are way too many things that I love about this nail polish! First let’s start with how pigmented it is. It is super pigmented and one stroke can definitely be enough. I tend to apply 2 thin coats, but I have tried it with just one coat too, and it still looks brilliant. I also love how this nail polish doesn’t require many steps to actually look good. I don’t use a base coat or a top coat, and it literally stays on all week without chipping. So, it is perfect for those that want their nails to look good without any fuss. The nail polish has a beautiful shine that lasts all week (so it definitely lives up to its claims). But that is not all; the nail polish has a sweet smell to it when it dries (which makes me itch to smell my nails all the time).

What I don’t like about this nail polish:

There isn’t much really. However, I have noticed that it does take slightly longer to dry (around 2 mins). The brush also tends to hold too much product, so I’d recommend that you really get rid of any excess product before applying it on your nails, cause it can get a little messy. 

Availability:

Available in the UK, France, Canada. I have also heard that it can be found In the US in Ulta or Walmart. Unfortunatley it still isn’t available in Kuwait. 

Price:

UK: £4.99

France: €8.90 

Canada: $9.99 

Final thoughts:

I totally love this nail polish line and I would recommend it. With 22 shades available, there surely is something for everyone. It is great for those that don’t want a nail polish that requires so much maintenance in terms of top and base coats.

That is all for today, thank you so much for reading, and as always, leave any questions below. Also, don’t forget to subscribe to my blog to be updated with the latest posts!
