As part of my recent Birmingham haul, I picked up a bottle of the new L'Oreal confetti topcoat After seeing it on
Alice's nails earlier in the day, I virtually pushed everyone else out of the way to secure the last bottle in Superdrug (oops).
The polish contains various shapes and sizes of black and white flecks, suspended in a clear coat. It goes on like a dream, with no faffing around trying to position the flecks - just an easy 2 to 3 swipes per nail like you would do for normal polish.
The finished effect is AMAZING. Even my boyfriend commented on how nice it looked. I first tried it over a nude/grey polish (Essie - Chinchilly), which I thought worked well as a daytime/work look.
I've also tried it over some pastel colours (L-R Barry M Prickly Pear, Barry M Grapefruit, M&S English Rose, Rimmel Tangy Tangerine and Essie Where's My Chauffeur?).
This is where I think this polish really starts coming into its own as a dupe for the Illamasqua speckle polishes that are out at the moment. The effects are slightly different, but for a £10 price saving, I'm happy to accept that. Like all glitter based polishes, it's a bit of a pain to get off, but nothing a soak won't shift.
I have a feeling this topcoat will be getting a lot of use over the coming months. I'm already looking out for an extra bottle so I have a spare!
The confetti topcoat retails for £4.99 and can be found in Superdrug and Boots stores. What do you think of this effect?
Like you said, it looks particularly amazing over the bright colours; love it! xx

I love this. It works with so many colours too. I am currently trying to grow my nails, so may buy a bottle of this as an added incentive for myself :)
ReplyDeleteI wore this today over lilac polish and it's so pretty :) Really does remind me of the Illamasqua polishes! xx

ReplyDeleteYou can get it in Boots now. I think it looks nice over bright colorus (i've been wearing it over a mint green). Would be nice to try it over some nude shades. I think REvlon are bringing some out soon. :)
