Bourjois - Sunset A Rio 46

Bourjois Sunset A Rio 46

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is a mini but it is really good and the fomula is great. It is a lovely classic red. Sadly got tipwear and slight scuffing too so this didn't last too well. It is really nice though so wear a topcoat for longevity.

Bourjois Diner A Paris 37




This is okay to use and okay to apply. It's a very small bottle and the brush is tiny. At first it's quite hard to apply because it is quite difficult to get a lot of polish onto the brush. Once I discovered how to get lots on to the brush it made things easier for applying. To get plenty of polish onto the brush, just dip it in and out a few times. Drying was good (about 1.5 mins for a coat). From the bottle this polish looks brown but once applied it isn't! It's quite a pretty colour. Lasted well.

Bourjois Shade 14

I hope everyone is having a lovely holiday period. And spare a thought for those poor people affected by the storms in the UK.





This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying though not as quick as they'd have you believe! The brush is mental, it's really thick and one stroke does the nail! It's good though and easy to use. I think it is a lovely colour with a subtle shimmer to it. These bottles don't fit in the Helmer hehe. Lasted well.

Bourjois 52 Cinema a Bombay

This is another of those dinky 3ml nail polishes that I picked up from TK Maxx a few months ago. It's a lovely pretty pink sparkly one!




With flash.
Artificial light.
Natural light.


This is easy to use, easy to apply but remember to have plenty on the brush as it's wee. It's really comfortable to hold and the brush paints the nails very well. One downside, it's slow drying so be patient. It's worth it! Lovely pinky sparkle that lasted well.

Bourjois 54 Cinema a Bombay

I picked this up in TK Maxx in a wee set of 5 dinky 3ml polishes. This is a goldy one.

All natural light.


All above 2 coats.

How cute is that little bottle? It's so tiny and surprising easy to use! The lid is really good to hold and the brush is really good as well, for something so small. Application was good and I found it very easy to paint the nails. Remember though with a wee brush keep all the polish on it, don't wipe if off the side. The first coat was quick drying but the second was slow. I would say it was a sandstone/gold colour. It lasted well too.

6 out 10. All round good polish, just not my colour.
