Cult Nails In the Garden collection Review!
Hi girls!
How's your week so far? My Monday morning has been kind of stressful at work but then I got home to nailmail and everything felt perfect again. Ah the power of nailmail! LOL
So today I have the Cult Nails In the Garden collection to share with you. I've actually swatches these a couple of weeks ago but haven't had time to post them yet. I just have a crazy number of swatch pics sitting on my laptop just waiting to be sorted out and edited!
Anyway... The In the Garden is a set of 5 Spring shades, 3 "wax" finish, a shimmer and a crelly.
Let’s Get Dirty is a pale taupe with hints of mauve, silver shimmer and a soft wax finish. I actually dig this one and please believe me I'm not a light shades enthousiast. Formula was really nice and it looked just perfect at two coats. Swatches below with and without topcoat, love it both ways!
Kiss My Rose Bush is a light washed out blue based pink with almost invisible silver shimmer and a wax finish. This one actually gave me a really hard time with application. It was thick and streaky and just wouldn't behave despite all my efforts. It's also not typically the type of pink I'd go for but it does look pretty with topcoat (which helped cover all the imperfections as well). I used two coats below.
Morning Glory is a berry pink creme with a wax finish. This one looks completely different with and ithout topcoat! I have a soft spot for the glossy version but they both look really nice. Formula was a bit thick here but totally manageable and it required two coats for perfect coverage.
You’re My Dandy Lion is a medium cool yellow with a gorgeous matching shimmer. Bold, bright, vibrant, gorgeous! I really love this type of yellow as it's not too warm and I'm sure would suit a wide variety of skin tones. Formula was a bit difficult but that's nothing new for a yellow, three thin coats and it looked simply flawless.
Ay Poppy! is an eye-searing orange crelly that's just... wow! I think I must own every bright orange there is so it's no surprise I'm totally in love with this one. Application was flawless and offered complete, even, coverage with two coats.
Overall :
Another really nice Cult Nails collection. I love the wax finish and how soft and sophisticated it looks compared to "regular" flat mattes.
My top picks : Let’s Get Dirty (which is totally surprising to me!), You’re My Dandy Lion and Ay Poppy! of course.
So what did you think about these? Did you grab any of them?
The Cult Nails In the Garden collection is already available on shop.cultnails.com as well as international stockists and retails for $12 each.

Lacc La Couleur Couture 1945, 1968 & 1976
Hi everyone!
Today I have a new (to me) brand to show you : La Couleur Couture!
La Couleur Couture 1945 is a classic red creme-jelly hybrid with an outstanding formula. Almost a one coater with high pigmentation and the easiest application ever, it went on smoothly with zero effort whatsoever. I used 2 coats plus topcoat out of habit but one single careful coat would have done the job and topcoat only added protection as it naturally fried to a high gloss.
La Couleur Couture 1968 is a pale jade green with a bright green shimmer, a close cousin to the long discontinued Chanel Jade and a truly gorgeous color. Again I was very surprised by the trouble free application but this one was less pigmented and required 2 to 3 coats for complete coverage.
La Couleur Couture 1976 is a whitened baby blue with the faintest pink shimmer. The shimmer doesn't translate at all on camera and honestly I had a hard time seeing it in real life but that doesn't take any beauty to this amazing shade of blue. 1976 was the less pigmented of the three and required 3 coats for complete coverage but I didn't experience any streakiness, which is very rare for such pale shades.
Overall :
La Couleur Couture leaves me with a very good first impression, I could sense that a lot of care was given to formula. I also really love the bottle shape and design so I can only recommend them!
lacc can be purchased from llarowe and retails for $14 each.
