After the care and make-up, here are the nail polish lamés and the top-coat"gold leaf" for nails. The minimum union and cosmetic to give a festive look to your look, right to your fingertips!
Gold profusion and glitter explosion in winter's nail polish and top-coat collections. And Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without these dazzling varnishes, especially since you can find them at a very affordable price, like Sephora's, which mixes black base and golden leaf fragments (Nail Designer Top Coat It's Friday Night Glitter Collection, 5 ml, € 3.90).
Nail jewelry…
Following the make-up trend (see Zoom Makeup: Gold is at the party! ), gold varnishes are softer, less flashy and ostentatious. For example, those in Dior's State of Gold Christmas Collection are particularly refined. Gold blends with grey (Diorific Vernis Grey Gold 12 ml, 26,50 €, limited edition) or is softened by a concentrate of platinum and gold glitter (Diorific Vernis 001 State of Gold, 12 ml, 26,50 €, limited edition).
The gold lamés warm up with tones pulling on pink or copper gold (Intense Nail Lacquer 813 Antique Gold Christmas Collection 2015 Dolce&Gabbana, 10 ml, 24,50 € Color Riche Le Vernis 420 Jungle Gold Collection Extravaganza Noël 2015 L'Oréal Paris, 5 ml, 6,50 € ; Nail polish Comet Closer StarLight Collection O.P.I, 15 ml, 13,90 € ; Nail polish Lingot T.Leclerc Collection Chic & Gold, 5 ml, 9,70 €, limited edition).
On the glitter side, Yves Rocher launches his Creation Ongles Pailletés (12.95 €, limited edition), a box containing a transparent base (5 ml), a brush and a bottle of gold glitter with which we sprinkle the freshly varnished nail. Kure Bazaar also likes golden glitter (Vernis Glitter Precious or Vegas 10 ml, 18 €) ! The brand is even now offering Gold Glitter Files (4 €), as well as a Glitter Bar at the Bon Marché Rive Gauche.
Festive top-coats
Original, the Luxeffects Fabulous Fringe d'Essie Collection replaces sequins with metallic fringes like tiny ribbons (Top coat Tassel Shaker, a mix of gold and copper, 13,5 ml, 12 €), to apply on a bare nail or over a varnish. Finally, let's finish with the must-have top-coat with gold leaf. Among the latest releases: Top coat Goldleaf Effect Lancôme (6 ml, 17 €) ; Top coat gold leaf Chic chic T.Leclerc Collection Chic & Gold (5 ml, 9,70 €, limited edition).
