P2 Rich & Royal - www.p2.com

Here's another from German brand p2. Again, I really don't know a whole lot about this brand, like where to get it or it's price, but I digress... This is another polish from my swap with Michelle of The Lacquer Files. I'm really liking these P2 polishes and Rich & Royal is one of my favorites. I love taupe a lot, but I'm quickly reaching saturation point with them. I'll have to do one gigantic taupe comparison soon. It will take lots of photos, I can tell you that much. It's so sad. Anyway, this is a very smooth texture, very gel-like, and it applies well and is streak-free and full-coverage in two coats. The finish is super glossy, too!

P2 Nail Polish in Glory - www.p2.com

Here's another polish from my swap with Michelle from The Lacquer Files. P2 is a German brand, so I don't know a whole bunch about it, like what stores it's available at or how much it costs. Before this swap I had tried only one of their shades, but since Michelle sent me three, I've been able to form more of an opinion on the brand. P2 bears a bit of resemblance to a long-gone Sally Hansen favorite of mine, Beyond Perfect. This older range from SH was in a similar bottle, and boasted the same claim of a gel-formula that Beyond Perfect did. Those things alone are enough to get my attention. Aside from that, the colors I've tried are quite beautiful and apply and wear wonderfully. These go on in two coats, and are super glossy. This particular color is a antiqued golden, and it's pretty heavy on the green tones. I personally love golden olive shades and since they're tough to come by, this is a gem. Have you guys tried P2? What's your favorite P2 shade?
