Swatched: Bourjois – Violine Chic

July 19, 2013 by Sheila | A B & Me 2 Comments

Whew! I haven’t swatched in a very long time, I wasn’t sure I still know how! I had some free time to do my nails a few days ago. My DIY manicure came first then after two days, I painted my nails … in the office! I didn’t have any kits with me, just my nail polish and fast dry top coat. So there’s really no room for mistakes and clean ups! Its not perfect so please be nice. 🙂
This is Bourjois – Violine Chic. I know its too dark for summer, but this has been sitting on my drawer for months! LOL

 

This is two coats. It has good consistency and coverage. Application was a breeze.

The only downside is that it takes a little while to dry. Even with Seche Vite top coat! It usually takes less than a minute for Seche to work, but after 5 minutes, my nail polish was still kind of wet. It lasted long but not 7 days… it chipped on the 5th day for me.

I give this 3.5 out of 5.

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

    Thanks for dropping by! I love deep purple on me. But I’m going for summery colors for now. Its not easy to be summery and yet be office appropriate. hehe

    Deep berry purple is among top three favorite nail polish. I currently use Figs Delight by Nstyle and am now on the lookout when i ran out of it.

    Thanks for the idea. will check out Burjois Violine Chic

Just a normal day with the fam. Sometimes the be Just a normal day with the fam. 

Sometimes the best memories aren’t from big adventures but from the simple moments—like game night in a cozy cabin, laughing until our stomachs hurt. We booked our Big Bear stay through @airbnb and @avantstay gave us the perfect backdrop for a weekend full of fun, comfort, and family time. Definitely one for the books.
