Hi everyone, for this post I have a blue gem to show you, Blu Lamé from the Italian high end cosmetics brand Collistar. Blue Lamé is my first high end polish. I paid €12.50 for this bottle of 10ml/0.3fl.oz., which is an amount I rarely spend on polish. But this looked so, so beautiful in te bottle. A denim blue with silver shimmer, which dries with a foily, satin matt finish which reminds of the OPI Suedes. Blue and shimmer and foil and matt, how could I ever resist that, right? Well, I didn't :) In the store I was still hesitating if I should buy it or not, considering the high price, but finally the beauty of it won me over and besides, I hadn't bought nail polish for a while at the moment. Anyways, Blue Lamé... Words can't express how pretty I find it. Look at that finish! And it's just as pretty with a glossy topcoat. But the perfection doesn't stop there, it's also a true one-coater! And with the best formula you can imagine, it makes it so pleasant to apply. And even though it's a matt polish, the formula is very smooth and it doesn't dry too fast, so you can just comfortably apply everything nice and even in a quick 'swoosh'. So yes, it costs more than other polishes, but it's definitely worth it. Needless to say it's one of my favorite polishes, ever! ;)
With topcoat |
a great dupe for this is body collection crystal suade, I bought it last week and I'm in love. Only £2.99

What a pretty colour of blue. Love it
ReplyDeleteI love it both ways!! looks amazing definitelly worth the 12$
ReplyDeleteOh well, that's a gorgeous colour! I never stop in front of expensive polish, but I guess this one was totally worth the prie :)
ReplyDeleteI always thought Collistar was a drugstore brand :O
ReplyDeleteAlso you should try Koh if you want to try some other high end brands, they are a Dutch high end nail polish brand. Their concept is great and they have some interesting products ^^ They sell in Douglas or in de Bijenkorf or online :)
oh ja! thats my kind of polish!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is one of gorgeous polishes!!! :D
ReplyDeleteThat is a really awesome blue-
ReplyDeleteIt's such a pretty shade!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately 12.50€ is not an expensive price for us italian ladies. Even italian brands are so overpriced. :(
ReplyDeleteI like Collistar polishes, I have never seen this shade, really beautiful.
Collistars are great, wonderful formula. Blue Lamé is still on my wish list. I'll pick it up next week:)
