Nail That Look // 甘いワナ ~Paint It Black

Category: Beauty Talk, Make Up, Nail Adventures, Product Write-Up




The title derives from a song off Utada Hikaru‘s first Japanese album, ‘First Love.’ A fan since her debut, my favorite performance was taken from her Bohemian Summer Tour in 2000. The track talks of the protagonist, who falls into a sweet trap(甘いワナ ~) having been smitten by a charismatic stranger. The song also samples a line from the 1966′s ‘Paint It Black‘ by the Rolling Stones.

Estée Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Tempting Melon
A Pink-Peachy shade that had me besotted right from the first swatch!


Sally Hansen Diamond Strength No Chip Nail Color in Something New
First laid eyes on the perky Cherry shade at the La Perla event last June, it took me several trips to various Watsons outlets to finally get my hands on one! A pocket-friendly dupe to Dior‘s #558 Paradise. [ Swatch @ Swatchaholic ]

A prismy multichrome that shifts between charcoal, turquoise and purple.

Another variant that I’d spotted in the last fortnight using the 2 Sally Hansen products.

    Loving the Estee Lauder colour. *-* How do the Sally Hansen diamond strength ones hold up to their promise? I just tend to buy the Xtreme ones.
