At Your Quebec and Call

From the Canadian collection.
I'm still very unsure about this colour. A bit of a swamp green, it's one of those which I guess is a bit Marmite - you either love it or hate it. It's a slightly murky, shimmering green shade with a hint of beige/brown. Application was good even with the old style brush and the picture shows two coats.

International Date-Line

This is a pretty old colour as far as I can make out as there don't seem to be many other pictures of it online. It is a deep burgundy colour with some cool tones to it. It's a cream finish with no shimmer or frost. Very flattering. Despite the fact that it's been in my collection for years, the application was good and completely opaque with two coats.

Fee Fi Fo Plum

From the British collection. I found this shade to be a little bit insipid. A light purple cream colour. It's not that vibrant and is sort of just... 'there.' Needed three coats to be totally opaque.

Yodel Me On My Cell

From the Swiss Collection. A gorgeous shimmery medium blue shade which is opaque in two coats. Good even application and staying power.

Route Beer Float

From the Route 66 collection. I like this colour more on the nail than I do in the bottle. It's a dusky brown/purple with a pinky damson tinge to it in certain lights. Subtle and interesting. Application was good with this showing two coats.

Wing It!



From the Summer Flutter range. This was the shade I was most excited about from this collection. This shade was so difficult to photograph! In the bottle it appears to be a gorgeous sparkly duochrome of pink and blue/purple. However this doesn't translate quite as well on the actual nail. It's still a pretty shade, but just not as duochrome as it appears in the bottle. It's very sheer and even with three coats isn't totally opaque. In some lights it looks pink and in others it almost looks orange, but the blue can only be seen very rarely.

You Don't Know Jacques!

From the French collection. I had high hopes for this polish after the rave reviews it seems to have received from everyone else. However it did absolutely nothing for me at all and people commented on what a strange colour it is. Browny/grey and almost like wet cement. I can see how it would suit some people but this one isn't for me I'm afraid. Application was good and smooth however and this picture shows two coats.
