LONDONTOWN - lakur Fall/Winter 2015 Collection with Beautiful Blossoms

Not all of us are eager and excited about new colors like some of the blues and purples coming to light. I am not one of those people. HOWEVER...if you are, then tonight's post might just be perfect for you...or your mom. I've got the newest lakur collection for Fall/Winter 2015, which is a quaint 4-piece collection of very neutral shades.

Ever since getting my new laptop decal (you can see it here), I've been wanting to do a nice simple little floral design. These coordinated shades of red and pink were perfect for the task.

I know there are a lot of floral tutorials out there that look similar to this, but I didn't really follow a tutorial. I just followed the pattern of the decal I mentioned, and really liked the way it turned out! I used 3 of the 4 shades from this collection, as well as another lakur shade called Emerald Tower.

Here's a little info about lakur as a brand. It's a 5-free line, it's vegan, it's cruelty-free, plus some other pros. Mainly, it touts itself as a nourishing, natural ingredient line that will fix your nails while giving you some solid coverage in color. I can't speak for the long-term effects of the polish (I swatch too much to ever properly test that for you all), but I can say the coverage is quite nice. The formula is a little thick, which didn't cause application problems yet, but could be an issue when the bottle starts to run low later on. So weigh your options with this brand - healing properties but potentially difficult application. Keep that in mind while you browse the swatches.

Lady Luck (2 coats) is a blood red creme. I swatched this color while watching a scary movie, so maybe that's why I'm associating it with blood. What do you think?

lakur - Mauve Over

Mauve Over (2 coats) really washes me out, which is a bummer because it's a pretty color. I guess muted rosy mauves aren't good on me.

Murray Me (2 coats) is my favorite from the collection. It's a nude creme with tones of greyish-pink. It's the base of my nail art, as well as the highlight of the flowers. I'm not sure what the "Murray" is referring to. Probably Bill Murray...because...you know...he's a white guy?

If Mauve Over washes me out, then The Full Monty (2 coats) really gets lost. I have these yellow undertones in my skin, which The Full Monty has as well. Don't get me wrong, the flesh creme is stunning...but can you tell on my skin?

lakur and the other LONDONTOWN products can all be purchased here. Enjoy!

  1. I guess it depends on what you're used to, if you like dark/vibrant colors then yes, you will feel they wash you out. But I like nudes on my nails and for me they look very pretty on you! :D

  3. This is so pretty, I love the combination of light and dark. It is such an elegant look :) Both polishes look stunning but how you've combined them is lovely xx
