Il était un vernis Matcha Doing Today?, Picture Polish Honeymoon, and stamping

I’ve got a couple of lovely pastel holos with glass-flecks and shimmer to show you today. 

iletaitunvernis_matchadoingtoday_picturepolish_honeymoon_ott2 

The lime green is Il était un vernis Matcha Doing Today? and the seafoam /minty blue-green is Picture Polish Honeymoon. First two photos under Ottlite.

I used three coats each plus top coat. Flash photos:

I then added stamping using Colour Alike “A Blue Ocean” over Matcha Doing Today and “A Fresh Mojito” over Honeymoon. The image is from It Girl plate 101.

Il était un vernis My Favorite Popsicle, Under the Pink, and Mint to Be Yours

Today I have swatches of three beautiful scattered holos from Il était un vernis’ summer collection. 

iletaitunvernis_myfavoritepopsicle_shade2

First is My Favorite Popsicle, a pink-red scattered holo with pink glass fleck shimmer. Two coats plus top coat; it has an excellent smooth formula and was almost opaque in one coat. Shown in the shade in these first two photos.

Il était un vernis Something to Remember

Something to Remember by Il était un vernis is a taupe-leaning purple scattered holo with pink shimmer that is hard to capture in photos. It does show in these photos, but it’s much more apparent and complex-looking in real life!

I used two coats plus top coat. The formula was excellent, as with the other Il était un vernis shades I’ve tried so far.

Again under Ott lite, showing the shimmer on the side of the bottle:

And at an extreme angle back in the sunlight, the shimmer looks to have a bit of a duochrome aspect to it:

Il était un vernis – Paeonia and Ixia

Today I have two polishes from French indie brand Il était un vernis to show you!

I was super impressed with these polishes! The shipping is a little pricey for those of us who aren’t in Europe, unsurprisingly, so I made sure to buy enough polishes to make up for it. 😉 So, I have several more Il était un vernis shades to swatch and show you in the future! 😀
