Brocade Crème by Rococo Nail Apparel is a deep oxblood red cream - one of those classic colors that never goes out of style. I clipped my nails back to nubs, and every time I do that I opt for dark, rich colors. Brocade Crème fits the bill.
The first coat was a bit streaky, but two even things out nicely. Brocade Crème has a nice gloss to it without topcoat, but I used Zoya's Color Lock System base and top coats for good measure. That duo does seem to prolong the wear of my polish!
This is my first Rococo polish and I received it as part of Space NK's fall GWP event - you can see the pretty box on the bottom left hand side. They are on the pricey side at $16.50 a bottle, and I'm not sure I'm wowed enough to pay that kind of money for a fairly standard color. However, Rococo is currently 50% off at
Space NK, so if you've been curious about this brand, now might be the time to snap one up!

ReplyDeleteAnd I totally agree with you about dark colours on short nails. There's just something super classy about that look and since I consider you a very classy gal, I'm not surprised in the slightest that you rocked it! :D
Thank you, that's so sweet!
DeleteOMG is that a lipstick queen lipstick? I remember that brand was all the rage years ago!!
ReplyDeleteIt is, but the color was a bit too pale/nude for me!
