Loreal Resist & Shine Titanium - 734

Up to 7 days it reckons. Well, by the day after application, I already had chips on 2 nails and the shine had worn down. The colours are incredible in the bottle and less so in real life. In the bottle, this is the most amazing satin look red, and on the nail when applying, a dark ruby, still acceptable. But on drying, it was just one of the usual dark bloody reds with a hint of glitter. The glittering was further lost on application of a top coat.

There are nail colours where I can't stop looking at them, every time they glint in the light. These were so forgettable I've barely glanced at them all day. The only good thing about this is that it is eye candy in the bottle. Maybe it would look better if there was a silver undercoat - I'll experiment with that at some point.

 See? In the bottle looks like there is a beautiful lava, orange/red thing going on! Fail in real life.

So in other countries, they actually have the names, not just the numbers. These are: Black Red (734), Black Purple (732), Black Mauve (733), Black Turquoise (736) and Black Gold (737). There is also 731 which is Black Blue.
