Lacquer Lust Garnet and Ruby swatches

Today I have the two last of the polishes from the Birthstone collection.

Garnet:

Lacquer Lust Garnet – the birthstone for January. It’s a dark brown toned burgundy holo with a fairly strong effect and it has beautiful red shimmers. This is 2 easy coats without a top coat.

Ruby:

Lacquer Lust Ruby – the birthstone for July. It’s a reddish pink holo with a fairly strong effect. This is 2 easy coats without a top coat.

What do you think?

Dior Grenade - Garnet swatches and comparisons - Collaboration Saturday

Elena from PicturedTinsel and I have new swatches for you this Collaboration Saturday!!

Dior Grenade – Garnet 565 is a hot fuchsia/magenta pink with a beautiful shimmer – just like I love ‘em :) I’m pretty sure it is from 2009, and it has the lovely “old brush” that since spring 2014 now is the "new brush" replacing the in my mind dreaded broad beaver-tail brush.

This is two easy coats and the finish is shiny and beautiful!

- and a comparison, as you can see the brand new Front Row is more red, and looks just like Chanel Tentation.

I simply Love Grenade/Garnet and I'm so happy to have an extra bottle of it.
Now let's see what Elena has for us today, shall we..?
