Illamasqua Swinger Nail Varnish

Contains: Affiliate Links, Sample Provided

Christine | Updated: 10/18/12October 18, 2012

Illamasqua Swinger Nail Varnish ($14.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "platinum gold." Yeah, I'd buy that. To use my own words, I'd describe it as a champagne-gold with a little grit and dirt in it--it's not a yellowy gold really, but it's not quite dark and...

China Glaze Ride the Waves Nail Lacquer ($6.49 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "dark ocean blue." It's a semi-sheer royal blue (not quite dark enough to be a navy blue, plus it's brightened) with what appears to be a jelly finish. Illamasqua Force is much darker, almost...

Chanel Suspicious Le Vernis / Nail Lacquer ($26.00 for 0.40 fl. oz.) is described simply as "fuchsia." It's a pinky-red--a little more red than raspberry red to me, though it seemed like it was going to be raspberry-colored based on the...
