ANNA SUI Nail Colour N #314.

Nail Colour N #314 - is a very, very sheer pink iridescent nail polish. This is a very gorgeous shade on its own if you want to make it look like you arent wearing anything…except when the light hits the nails, you get flashes of pink.
This is perhaps better as a top coat, although I like wearing it on its own. As an indication of how sheer this is, I used one coat of Anna Sui’s base coat and two coats of #314 but I could still see my nails. Two coats of #314 just makes your nails more shimmery.

ANNA SUI Nail Colour N #206.

Nail Colour N # 206 – is a rose base nail polish containing gold iridescent. This colour is most interesting…I hated this shade because at night it looks really goldy (see the picture below) and you can hardly see the rose base. But when I saw this in natural light, I fell…literally, because its the most pretty rose shade! That is until strong sunlight flashes on it and you see the tons of gold shimmer and end up with a rose-gold shade. So depending on the light, this polish can look cool or warm.
By the way, the sales assistant is most insistent that this shade falls into the purple family…
