Hi everyone!
Today I have swatches of Italian brand Astra’s Expert Gel Effect nail polish in no. 31, Passion Ribes. Don’t be fooled by the gel thing in the name, this is a standard nail polish claiming to have a gel shine.
Astra Expert Gel Effect n. 31 Passion Ribes is a warm red with a hint of purple, a very elegant shade and not that common, at least in my own collection. I have a lots of red, but nothing leaning purple or dark pink this way.
The formula in the Astra Expert Gel Effect nail polishes is awesome, they are so creamy and easy to apply and definitely have that promised gel shine without top coat. For less than 3,00€ they’re really worth having.
Two coats, no top coat.
Ciao a tutti!
Oggi vi mostro un altro degli smalti che Astra ha lanciato per la primavera-estate nella linea Expert Gel Effect. Si tratta del n. 31, Passion Ribes, “la passione del rosso, la dolcezza del ribes”.
Astra Expert Gel Effect n. 31 Passion Ribes è senz’ombra di dubbio uno smalto rosso, ma reso caldo da una goccia di viola, un colore davvero elegante e non scontato.
Come tutti gli smalti Astra della linea Expert Gel Effect la stesura è di una semplicità estrema, il colore è cremoso e molto lucido senza bisogno di un top coat. Per 2,90€ varrebbe la pena prenderli tutti!
Due passate senza top coat.
This last photo is the most colour-accurate I’d say, but then again it depends on your screen, too.
Either way it’s very pretty, isn’t it? I think it’s such a nice shade for the season, it definitely reminds me of some delicious fruit we can find in stores these days or in a few weeks. I really love it.
What do you think? Do you like this kind of shades as much as I do?
Quest’ultima foto direi che è la più giusta come colore, ma come al solito dipende dallo schermo su cui siete.
In ogni caso è uno smalto carinissimo, no? Lo trovo un colore davvero bello in questa stagione, mi fa venire in mente tanta frutta! Lo adoro insomma.
Voi che mi dite? Vi piace tanto quanto a me?

DeleteReally nice red! Love the glossy finish :) Yeah I feel like so many polishes at the drugstore say gel effect now when they aren't gels haha
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it's the current trend, uh?
DeleteD: e per quale ragione io mi son persa questo smalto? Devo trovarlo!
ReplyDeleteE' uno dei nuovi 6 colori di Primavera, magari non sono ancora arrivati?
DeleteThis shade looks great, so many reds look terrible against my pale skin or make me look really pink so a purple leaning red is awesome
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can say I am lucky from that point of view, despite being very pale my skintone loves reds!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous, rich shade!
ReplyDeleteI love this kind of red so much. You are so right that having it with such a purple tone to it is rare!
