Yves Saint Laurent "La Laque Couture" or the new and improved YSL lacquer range... 1/2

I'm pretty sure you've all noticed that earlier this year Yves Saint Laurent's nail polish range has completely been rethought : new design and a wider core collection.

Among this new range, a few reds but mainly oranges, corals, pinks, purples, taupes and blues, enough to make your head spin!

Today, for this 1/2 post, I have 2 warm colors to share with you Rose Renaissance and Orange Fusion.

Rose Renaissance is a bright and saturated pink. It has a very slight blue base and although it's very vivid, it's also dark enough not to appear neon or too summery. Application was a dream, even and pigmented on the first coat, smooth and perfect on the second. This is two coats plus topcoat.

Orange Fusion is a relatively dark and extremely glossy red based orange jelly. It's just so intense and glass smooth on the nails! I used 3 coats in these swatches but didn't achieve full coverage. An extra coat might eliminate the slight VNL but I didn't mind enough to apply one.

Overall :

I still can't believe I'm actually wearing and loving pink nail polish! To my defense Rose Renaissance is beautiful and rather sophisticated. But despite the lack of opacity, I must admit that Orange Fusion simply stole my heart away.

I can't wait to share with you the second part of this review (aka the cool tones!)
