Here are two LVX polishes I received back in April, which I've finally got around to swatching!
First up is LVX- Avireo:
Avireo was released as part of their Summer 2012 collection. It's a really dusty, grey-infused, army green creme.
Artificial light, two coats:
This color is great worn as a variation on a neutral. It's flexible enough to be worn with just about anything, I think, and doesn't draw too much attention to itself.
Window-filtered daylight:
Outside, shade:
My only criticism is that it does dry a little darker than the bottle color; that's unfortunate since the bottle color is so nice.
Sun:
Formula: Thick and pigmented; goes on smoothly, and self levels perfectly. Pretty much a one-coat wonder, but I did two since I was photographing it.

Next, is LVX- Midori:
Midori is a bright, almost-neon, chartreuse creme. It almost has a pea green quality, since there's a healthy amount of yellow in this green. It was released Fall 2012.
Artificial light, two coats:
Window-filtered daylight:
It does tend to take on a cooler, greener tone in natural light.
Outside, shade:
I have nothing bad to say about this one; it's a fun color- not the most flattering on my skin, but wearable, definitely.
Formula: Very good. It's on the thicker side, and pigmented, gliding on the nail easily. The first coat is slightly streaky, but it self-levels decently. For the most part, the second coat fixes the streaky areas, and obscures the nail line nicely.
Great photos. Midori looks really cool and unique. I have nothing like it. I wonder how it would look on me???
ReplyThanks! Midori reminds me of OPI- Who The Shrek Are You?, but I am not sure how close they are since I don't own it. I think it'd look great on you, since I think your skin has less red in it than mine!
LOVING Avireo. I think it's so fun when you can see the pigments swirling in a polish.
ReplyI love that too!
Love this yellow so much! It's very unique, I can't remember seeing a color quite like it before.
ReplyIt is really fun to wear!
