Here is the swatch of one of the prettiest nail polish shades for Autumn/Winter season – Lancome Vernis in Love in 453 Infusion de Prune.

It is a beautiful glossy plum  which is a bit lighter than most vampy & gothic berry/plum shades, it is a classic colour I would say.

I am in love with Lancome’s wide brushes, they are a pleasure to use, plus it is always fast and mess-free.

This nail polish goes on smoothly and is opaque with one layer. The staying power is also nice.

You get 6 ml for  £12/$15 which I personally like as I never finish big bottles of nail polish anyway.

Infusion de Prune is a limited edition shade which was released as a part of Autumn collection, so get it while it’s still available.

I am a huge fan of berry and plum nail polishes, especially for Autumn/Winter period, they look very sophisticated and  chic. I have actually never tried Guerlain nail lacquers  (£18 / €23) before, so was excited to start with Lou-Ling from their Christmas collection, as it is a beautiful shade.

It is a gorgeous glossy plum with very subtle micro shimmer which is only visible under the certain light or with a certain flash.

Lou-Ling has a nice formula which goes on smoothly and  looks opaque with only one coat. But I do wear two coats on the picture above.  The brush is thinner than I personally like but since it’s  not very not long, it gives you a good control.

This is a wonderful classic nail colour, and I would definitely recommend it to everyone who loves luxury brands. It would make a  great present, too.
