TNS Firenze Testa di Moro (524 Pop Italiano)

Hi everyone!

If you follow my blog you know I am Italian and I love supporting Italian brands over here. My very favourite Italian brand when it comes to nail polish is TNS Cosmetics Firenze, which is a salon brand.

TNS just released their new Fall-Winter collection which is inspired to made in Italy, craftwork, design, fashion, you all know what that means worldwide. Personally when I think of all these things my mind immediately goes to leather shoes and bags. I am a huge fan of both. When winter approaches one of my go-to colours for both shoes and bags is a special dark brown that we call “Testa di moro” in Italian, this is a colour that is only used for leather and I love it. When I read that TNS created a nail polish shade inspired to it I knew I had to have it and you’ll get to see it today.

TNS Testa di Moro* is a brown creme - not as dark as the name would suggest - plus it has a strong red undertone. Under some lighting it almost looks like a dark mauve, very unique. Application is very easy as you might expect from a salon brand. However I must say Testa di Moro is less opaque than the average TNS nail polishes I’ve tried so far. I did two coats but suggest three for a smoother colour. Drying time is fast and finish is glossy.

Isn’t it quite unique? I think this is the kind of brown everyone can wear thanks to the strong red tone. I find it very sophisticated and I can’t wait to match it with my high heels boots that are the same shade!

What do you think of it? Like it? And is there anything special you think of when you hear or read “made in Italy”?
