Sometimes… you come across something a little bit special in the nail polish world.
Surreal Violet from the upcoming Estee Lauder Pure Color Collection is a little bit special.
I’ll admit, I’m biased. I love me a bit of greige… I also love me a bit of dirty purple… combining the 2 tips me over the edge.
But then… THEN… throw in a generous amount of amber shimmer that sparkles like fireflies when sunlight hits it, and you’ve got me foaming at the mouth. 2 coats to achieve opacity, the sample I received glides on beautifully with no problems to note. I finished with a quick-dry top coat to really enhance the shimmer contained within.
Surreal Violet is a limited edition shade from the upcoming Estee Lauder Pure Color collection by Tom Pecheux which is due to be released in the UK in August.
The polish will retail at £12/€17 and frankly, you need it.
Wow haven’t seen a colour like that before – Beautiful!
Ooooh, that’s pretty!
Oh lordy, that is beautiful! I’m a taupe and purple fiend so this is an absolute dream. I think I need to set myself a reminder for August.

Stunning! You’re right, I do need it LOL.
You’re right. I NEED this nail varnish in my life.
Channelesque with gold. What is not to like? You are right. We need this.
I’m not normally one for greige nails at all, unless they have more purple or something in them, like OPI’s Parlez Vous OPI?, which I adore. This however, is fantastic, what an unusual colour! I will be on tenterhooks until August then! Thanks for this post!x

omg I definitely need this!
I have to say, when I saw the little pic that comes up in my Blogger Reading List I though “ew, I’m not going to like this”. But damn you, not only do I now really, really like this, I now really, really want to buy it.
£12 is cheaper than Illamasqua…hmmm.
I need that nail polish. It is lovely.
That’s so elegant and rich ^v^
[…] This is a gorgeous shade of mauve polish [Lipglossiping] […]
Wow that’s gorgeous! I definitely need it!
My word that is stunning! I’m not usually a fan of shimmers but that is so unusual and so so chic. Love it!
Hmm. Think it’s doable into Autumn???
i need that polish! I hope it’s not just a UK only color =D
I already splurged on Chanel’s Paradoxal and wondered how you think it compares to the Surreal Violet, is there a big difference between the 2 shades? In other words, can you help me justify owning them both! (I never take much persuading when it comes to nail varnish, it’s a big weakness of mine)
They’re really different… this is far paler, more glowy and nuder. Whole different ballpark x
You need both!
