Paris Memories - #243, swatch

Hi, sorry for the late post but I had to get up in the middle of the night to be able to catch the train to my parents. I've been chillin' for awhile since I got here but of cause I haven't forgotten about the Vintage Week Challenge hosted by Little Miss Nail Polish and Polished Marvels. You can check out either of their blogs for more info.

Today's theme is red, which isn't a color I'm wearing too often but for this special occasion I picked one of (my few) reds. ;)

The polish I've chosen is from Paris Memories which is a budget brand I've bought in a small store when living in the south of Sweden. Now it's about 5-6 years since I bought this. I've got many polishes from this brand and I like the polish it self, but I totally hate the brush.. It's so tiny, close to a fine liner brush which make application very hard when I for each nail must re-fill polish on the brush several times!

Anyhow, #243 is a red shimmer polish filled with gold shimmer as you can see most clear on the bottle pic right below. I really like polishes like this, having another color of the shimmer because it really gives a depth to the polish.

I've used three coats for this and SV on top as always.





I actually really liked this and I'm content with my photos and I think I should reconsider and start wearing more red on my nails. :D

    What a gorgeous red! I love that gold shimmer in it!! You look great in red! I think you should wear red more often :)
    I hate thin brushes too >:-( I've got a few polishes from Paris Memories and they are quite nice considering their low price. I bought mine on CityGross. You too?

      Yes, I think the gold shimmer really ads to the polish! And yea..maye I should wear more red and more often, it is a beautiful color!
      I agree with you, PM are quite nice considering the price. I actually didn't buy them from CityGross, it was a small shop for home articles (curtains, candles, glasses, decoration etc) and then a bunch of polishes and makeup from PM. However, my mother showed me a polish she'd bought and it was PM as well, but in new bottles and the brush was better. I'll definitely check CityGross out to see if my CityGross has them. *fingers crossed* ;)

      Ja visst är det! haha, ja det är knasigt det där,jag misstänker att Natalia nedan är något på spåren, dvs att rött anses för klassiskt och kanske är det så jag känner. Å andra sidan så har jag på sista tiden spanat och tyckt om fler röda så jag börjar mjuka för färgen. :)

    What a lovely shade gelic! I agree with the girls, red looks fantastic on you. I guess most of us nail bloggers tend to leave red appart because is considered "boring" or "too classic" compared to all the shades available nowadays. I also disregard red polish until I'm wearing one really pretty and go "wow!". This one is definitely very pretty,but curses to the brush! :D

      Thank you Natalia! :D I guess I should wear more red, especially with all you girls commenting that my nails looks awesome with red ;) hihi
      But yea, I think you're on to something, I've also found red being too classic and boring, maybe even too "old lady like" but lately I've been started to like red much better. Maybe because I'm getting older too ;) haha naa, but I've been looking to find more nuances of red lately. :D
