Nailstation ~ French Riviera


Nailstation ~ French Riviera
Turquoise/seagreen metallic shimmer

This is my first Nailstation polish and I loved it even before I got it onto my nails. That seagreen/turquoise colour is so me!

The formula is good, almost smooth, and the brush has a good size without being one of the wide brushes that I like so much. It took two coats to reach desired opacity. I made my second layer pretty thick because this polish is self-levelling and to minimize the visible brush strokes. Drying time is okay though, so I didn’t sit and wait all evening for it to dry :D

Enough of the talking, here’s the polish in all its glory:


And from a different angle:



I just love the shine, the depth and the colour of this polish. It’s really amazing, and even though I’ve never been to France, I think that French Riviera is a good name for it. Imagine swimming in water this colour!! Wow!



I can’t praise this polish enough. It’s pretty, easy to work with, has beautiful shine and yeah… it’s just beautiful! A total winner!


Here’s how I actually wore this:


I took my new Kiko Sugar Matte #644 Sea Blue, and made a trail of blue over each nail with my dotting tool:


This is the first time I try a Kiko Sugar Matte – I’m definitely going to play more with them!


French Riviera is so beautiful. I just couldn't stop staring at my nails!
