Valerie
Hi Goddesses
Oh Valerie, Valerie,
how do I love thee? Let me count the
ways …. Oh, this polish is just to die for …
Valerie is the
spirit of autumn. She has the decayed
heart so essential to the season, the ability to rock and rot in equal measure,
and a whole lot of multi-tonal amazingness going on.
I love Valerie. Lots.
I bought her months ago and have been saving her for autumn, and autumn
is definitely her season. She swirls
around in a coat of many colours – purple, fuschia, russet, red, gold, orange
and brown – and she ROCKS IT !!
I also love that
Valerie has her “day look” and her “night look”. Get her in normal light and you’ll be knocked
out by her autumnal shimmer, how she dances with the leaves and flashes red and
gold to keep warm.
Get her in the night
lights and she becomes a startled purple bird, flashing violet flecked wings –
man, she is GORGEOUS in this light. Her
flecking is truly beautiful, making her look like a speckled magic bird from
Purple Land. She has feathers, she has
wings, she has roots – this is one delicious bird.
More than anything,
Valerie reminds me of the skin of a black cherry, and how that veers through
several shades of red, black, purple, gold and green, reacting to the
light. Valerie is exactly the same – she
is always showing at least 2 colours, and 3 if she’s feeling confident.
This is a
traffic-stopper of a polish girls – grab her, cherish her, and use her to
death, cos she is oh so worth it J
Aside – I had Jem
from the Smoke & Mirrors Collection and got rid of it when I saw a couple
of posts which showed these 2 to be almost dead on dupes. You don’t need both in your life, but
whichever goddess you pick, you won’t be disappointed.
Enjoy xx J
Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
