Sheswai Rootsy Nail Lacquer

Mise Beauty webshop has had an overhaul and introduced several new brands recently. Sheswai Lacquer is one of them, and is a 3-free formulation. I love the bottle and the wooden handle (it isn't plastic) and the brush itself is also good; neither too skinny or wide, for easy application. The lacquer is a rich cream that gives full coverage in two coats and dries quickly.

Rootsy is described as a roasted caramel pumpkin. It's not a shade I would have picked for myself, and I'm still not a convert to warmer browns, but if you like terracottas it is a lovely one. (If I do end up as some kind of Autumn when I have my Personal Colour Analysis in March I am in all kinds of trouble!)
Sheswai Lacquers are £12.50 each from www.misebeauty.com. Rootsy was a PR sample, but I do like the look of pebble grey with lavender shimmer Stoned. I haven't bought it (yet) because I've just purchased a nail polish ombre set from The New Black (also from Mise Beauty.)

  4. That looks really nice! I love the shine! Are you wearing a nail base under this lacquer? I have some ridges on my nails and assume I would need a primer for it to look that nice!

    1. Hi Stephanie - I didn't use a nail base or top coat - just two coats of the lacquer. It's quite a rich, creamy texture, so I think it'd be good for less than perfect nails. Thank you :)

  5. I'm so interested in the ombre shades from The New Black. I hope you'll be reviewing them. This particular polish looks very full but I'd love to see a more feminine color.
