Bourjois Bleu Model

(BUT before we proceed a big THANK YOU for all the great and amusing comments I've been getting these past few days! Really bucked me up no end!)


If this is blue then I'm Pippa Middleton's body double. Cuticles still dire. Sorry.

It's green. C'est vert. End of.
Whatever you'd call it I do know one thing. It's 3 coats of creamy gorgeousness! Cannot stress sufficiently how good the formula is.Bourjois really does quality nail-polish.

Eyeko Vintage - shiny, happy person....

Yes, you've seen it before but I bought these Eyeko with not huge expectations due to their relative cheapness but the 2 I have tried go on beautifully! Tried Nude and Vintage. Also have Lilac and Purple.

3 coats but I was happy with 2. Very shiny. This has no top coat. Very easy to apply. I have small hands so small bottles work well for me.


And it's British. I really like to support UK manufacturers. Carbon footprint, local jobs etc etc


Anyway I have ordered the new set. 5 for £14. 


These greens suit everyone, I think. They don't need to stay on trend because I have plenty and I'm sure they'll stay on the market.

Day 2 - Colour vision and For Audrey - eyesight, cataracts and Monet

Here goes.


Why did all the pix end up at the top yesterday but not today? Oh, well. I'll work it out eventually...


On my RH CG For Audrey. My RH never has the same as my LH. Toes are different too.

Bottle comparison.

I got this and thought - blue, it's not blue! Isn't it meant to be Tiffany blue? So I assembled what I have that's closest.

L to R: BB Couture Bassins Bleu II 10/10, Barry M Mint Green 9/10, Eyeko Vintage UT, CG For Audrey 9/10 

I'm still not getting blue.

I like these a lot. The Eyeko is untried.

NB I'll also maybe improve the photography one day.

What about this eyesight thing? I give you Monet.

As many people know Monet's painting was affected by his cataracts and this led to his work becoming increasingly yellow (not very technical) because cataracts affect the ability to detect blue tones. He later had surgery and was not entirely happy with the result.

Now, I'm heading for cataracts (runs in the family) and I'm hopeless at matching colours or seeing what others seem to say. I've no eye for fine gradations. I'll read other blogs that compare polishes and the blogger will state: Clearly these are not dupes. And I'm thinking: They're bloomin' identical! It's frustrating.

Anyone else have similar problems? Colour differentiation. Colour is fascinating! I mean - when I see something and label it as blue what are you seeing? Rather existentialist. And colour therapy? And seasonal shades. And red stimulating appetite. Is that in all cultures? Can anyone provide any more colour facts/theories?

Have a good day, Jenni
