TreNique Winter Collection Review
Wednesday, February 26, 2014Hey guys! Today I have three out of five colors from TreNique Nail Lacquer's winter collection.
Midnight Rendezvous
Midnight Rendezvous is a deep blue jelly with holographic glitter and silver shimmer. Shown above is three coats with no base coat. This definitely needed three coats to achieve even coverage. The first two coats were too streaky to wear alone or as a top coat. Once a third coat is applied it has a really nice layered effect.
Polishes used: TreNique- "Midnight Rendezvous", Revlon- "Quick Dry Top Coat"
Happy New Year
Happy New Year is a gray jelly with blue and holographic glitter. Shown above is three coats with no base color. As you might have noticed, I had issues with pigment not being properly mixed in the bottle. I shook it for a good 10 minutes but couldn't get the pigment to redistribute. Occasionally, when this happens you can smooth out the pigment on the nail, but unfortunately this wasn't the case. I like the color, but the stray bits of pigment were impossible to avoid. I emailed the maker and will keep you updated when I hear back.
Polishes used: TreNique- "Happy New Year", Revlon- "Quick Dry Top Coat"
Snowflakes
Snowflakes is a sheer white jelly with holographic glitter and larger silver glitter. Shown above is three coats with no base coat. The consistency of Snowflakes was nice, but I found the opacity too sheer overall. It might look nice over a white, but I don't think I would wear it alone.

Conclusion
I liked two out of three colors I reviewed, but I had issues with the pigmentation of Happy New Year. TreNique Nail Lacquers can only be purchased in a set. I'm such a picky person that I won't buy most nail lacquer sets. If these were available individually I would consider purchasing Midnight Rendezvous.

Midnight Rendezvous is my favorite of the three because of the pretty dusty almost denim blue. I love the color of Happy New Year, but man, 3 coats and it's that sheer still? Too bad about the pigment issue. The more I look at Snowflakes, the more it's growing on me, although the larger glitter could be more pronounced, couldn't it?
