My sister is a doll. Whenever possible she sends me nail polishes from Brasil. Sometimes I bug her over a particular shade every time I call home. She is used to me asking “did you find this and that polish? Save it for me pretty please!”
She sent me this adorable blue Colorama last year. It is a crème polish that applied beautifully but to add a little pizazz to it I topped it off with Sally Hansen’s Hidden Treasure (my first flakes nail polish). I must say I loved the result. This manicure lasted me 5 days without any chipping whatsoever. Under some lights it looks almost green, so I guess it is actually an aquamarine color.
Colorama nail polishes have been around in Brasil for a very long time. They are a drugstore brand that is easy to find even in smaller towns in the middle of nowhere. Colorama nail polish bottles are much smaller than what we are used to here in the US. I do have some old Coloramas made right here in the US and the size is the same as those made in Brasil. I can’t find Coloramas in the US very easily anymore. Once in a blue moon I’ll find some at Dollar Tree stores. More likely than not, Colorama was the very first brand on nail polish my mom allowed me to wear. Until this day I like them.
Thank you sis!!! I <3 you!!!!!
The Colorama bottle reminds me a bit about Maybelline's Colorama series. Are they the same? I can't see Maybelline printed on the bottle. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat combo! I have some of the old Maybelline Coloramas and they have the exact same bottle size/shape.
