Swatch of MAC – Anti-Fashion
MAC – Anti-Fashion is a grayish brownish purple (taupe?) polish with purple shimmer. It’s not unique (I’ve got a comparison coming up) but it’s a kind of polish which I love and matches my skin tone,...
View ArticleSwatch of GOSH – 612 Galaxy
612 Galaxy has a brownish base crammed with rather large shimmer particles, mostly a sort of pale brass color but also some pink and blue. It’s very sheer and needs at least three coats to reach full...
View ArticleSwatch of KIKO – 701 Wood
Wood is a medium brown magnetic nail polish which needs two coats to reach full opacity and has a strong magnetic effect. I, however, prefer magnetic nail polishes flat without any patterns from...
View ArticleSwatch of H&M – Khaki Madness
Khaki Madness is a shimmer polish somewhere between olive green and brass. I have a hard time deciding whether the base is olive green and the shimmer is gold, or the other way around, but whichever...
View ArticleSwatch of Max Factor – 145 Noisette
Noisette is a brownish taupe polish with purple shimmer, and one of my absolute favorite kind of polish. I think it’s a dupe of Chanel – Paradoxal, but since, regrettably, don’t own Paradoxal I can’t...
View ArticleSwatch of Essie – Hot Coco
Hot Coco is a soft brown cream polish, and very undramatic in a sense. It’s definitely a really good office shade, and quite pretty in its simplicity, but it’s not a shade I’m comfortable wearing in...

View ArticleSwatch of Snowcrystal – 428
428 is a chocolate brown cream polish which I bought a few months after I first tried Snowcrystal. It’s just as flawless as its sisters, but a lot more office friendly. It reaches full opacity after...
View ArticleSwatch of OPI – San Tan-tonio
San Tan-tonio is a nougat colored cream polish, and as much as I love the shade in its bottle it clashes with my winter skin tone. I’m curious as to see how it suits my skin tone once I’m a bit more...
View ArticleSwatch of Chanel – 563 Vertigo
Vertigo is a dark brown polish with blue undertones and a slight copper shimmer. It’s fairly visible in the bottle but virtually invisible once applied on the nails. It dries with a slight satin...
View ArticleSwatch of Chanel – 509 Paradoxal
Paradoxal is a cool brown polish with a lovely purple shimmer. The shimmer is very rich and deep in the bottle, but flattens out slightly once applied. Very much an autumn shade, which is a shame...

Like I said, I have plenty of this kind of nail polish – I just love so much! These four look very similar, I’d even go so far as to say that Paradoxal and Noisette are dupes. They were very similar...
