"Labeled "Vernissage," Vapour's new nail lacquer takes its name from this classic French term, which refers to the special even when artists and painters celebrate the completion of their works with a handful of invited guests by finishing, or varnishing, their masterpieces before the formal opening."
These first 2 are their releases for Summer 2013. They are stated as "5 free" (Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate and Formaldehyde - plus formaldehyde resin and camphor)
Can be found here for $16. Product size 0.30oz
Amour is described as a vivid warm pink, I see it as basic mauve tone. Creme finish.
Pictured is 3 coats. I had no problems with application, I really enjoy their minimalist labeling and the large print name label on the bottom.
Kitten is described as a warm bright coral, but I see it as a medium peach tone with slight shimmer.
These others are their minis that are only the standard "3 free."
They can be found here for $12. Product size is 0.25oz. The bottle looks half the size, but these minis are fatter than the taller bottles.
Ether is a rich, deep navy(almost black) with shimmer. Pictured is 3 coats.
Captive is a deep burgundy with an almost jelly finish. Pictured is 3 coats.
Eternal is a nude with shimmer. Pictured is 3 coats.
Trance is a charcoal gray/black with tiny holographic glitter. Pictured is 2 coats.
Sorry I don't have any sunlight pictures, but it was about 3 am when I was swatching, and then the next opportunity I had, it was rainy and gloomy outside.
Replenish is their Organic Nail and Cuticle Oil. It is composed of high-grade organic oils and botanicals like
Evening Primrose, Pomegranate Seed Oil, and Reishi Mushroom.
It can be purchased here for $12. Product size is 0.25oz
It is designed with dry oils so it absorbs quickly and deeply into the skin and won't leave you feeling greasy or oily.
For these photos, I had Amour already on my nails and dry. I then dabbed Replenish around my cuticles and let it sit. This picture was taken immediately after application, you can see the shine where it just sits on top.
This picture was taken 10 minutes after application and you can see how well it's absorbed so far. Overall it has a light citrus scent because of the combination of Grapefruit, Sweet Orange, & Lemon Essential Oils.
Velocity is their topcoat. It is "3 free" and can be found here for $12. Product size is 0.25oz. I applied it over the polish and within 1 minute it was dry to a light touch. Comparable to how Seche Vite is after the same amount of time. It is a thinner consistency, not thick or gloopy. I did some stamping with different colored polishes, because sometimes top coats can smear nail art. (The feather image is from BM15)
I just had the slightest little spot that smeared on the black feather, no problems with the other colors.
