Sonoma Nail Art Tallulah Swatches and Review

As a finishing touch to my wonderful Tom Ford Bitter Bitch and Chanel Vamp nail lacquers swatches, I decided to use Sonoma Nail Art Tallulah - a Sonoma Nail Art Exclusive sold ONLY in Tallulah Boutique in Healdsburg, California.






Looove Sonoma Nail Art Tallulah as toppings for Tom Ford Bitter Bitch and Chanel Vamp!  The stunning pink, gold and green glitters pop big time... and Tallulah applies like a dream!  Effortless and smooth....  no dragging of glitters to spread it evenly :)

I can't decide which is better with Tallulah.  Is it the darker Tom Ford Bitter Bitch or is it the burgundish Chanel Vamp?  To me, Tallulah looks gorgeous with both polishes :)  Win-win!!




Tom Ford Bitter Bitch Nail Lacquer.. with Chanel Vamp comparison

I admit.  I am a sucker for high end - premium brands.  I love Chanel handbags.  I own a bunch of Prada shoes.  I love the fit of Ernest Sewn, Evisu and 7 all for mankind jeans.  I use one of the most expensive, if not the most expensive, cosmetics make up brands Cle De Peau -  foundation, concealer, eyeshadows, etc.  So it's not surprising that I am also drawn to the high price tags of Tom Ford nail lacquers, Le Metier de Beaute nail lacquers, YSL, Chanel and Dior nail lacquers.

Today I am using Tom Ford nail lacquer in #04 called Bitter Bitch.  Don't you just love the name? Hahaha!! At $30 for a 12ml bottle, it is priced a little higher than Chanel and Dior polishes.

Isn't it gorgeous?  Dark and decadent.  Perfect for fall. :)

 It isn't black.  It isn't purple.  It really is a unique color :)

I wonder how Tom Ford Bitter Bitch compares to Chanel's vamp so I decide to do a swatch of both (please excuse the dents on my nails as Vamp was taking a looong time to dry, ugh )

I also did 3 coats of Chanel Vamp.

As you can see, they are not dupes.  Bitter Bitch is darker while Vamp is more reddish burgundish in color.

Both are gorgeous and perfect for fall :)
