Honest Babes

Every time I see this polish, I'm compelled to swatch it.  It's opaque in two coats and so, so easy to put on and work with.  The shimmer is made up of tiny, unevenly-sized shards of silver that aren't blingy but do shine.

You may have noticed a difference on the tip- that's one coat of Lancome's Piha Black.  I wondered if Sequins and Piha were similar, but they seem to only be similar in base color only.  Piha Black is slightly more charcoal than Black Sequins, base-wise.  Piha Black is also more pearly than Black Sequins, with pink, silver and aqua microshimmer that is very subtle.  Were I to choose one to have, I'd pick Black Sequins.  But I have Piha Black because I found it at a Lancome CCO for a decent price.

Is there any way to avoid paying US$18 for Lancôme's hot Fall 2009 polish color, Indigo Paris?  Yes and no.  Let me explain...My Blue Heaven
