Collection: L’Oréal Summer 2007, Pro Manicure Nail Polish [Launch]
L’Oréal’s current core nail polish line, Colour Riche Nail Colour, first came into being back in 2007, when the company totally revamped its nail polish (do you remember how the old bottles used to look?) and went 3-free, as well. The line was called Pro Manicure Nail Polish, even though the bottle only said “L’Oréal Paris Nail Polish”.
Since then, the polish has gone through a few renamings, repackagings, and probably reformulations, but the general look remains similar: a rectangular bottle with a squashed-square cap that’s been a L’Oréal signature for quite some time. The lipsticks still have this squashed square shape, and I actually recall that some of their old foundations had this cap-shape, too. I’ve never really liked it, but I suppose any signature is better than none at all.
I actually own more from the original Pro Manicure line than I do from the newer lines: somehow I fell off purchasing L’Oréal at the drugstore. There’s barely a L’Oréal product I use anymore—even my old reliable True Match liquid foundation has been surpassed by Revlon’s Nearly Naked.
In any case, I still quite like the old Pro Manicure line, and here’s a pretty standard red from the original 45-shade launch: Apple of My Eye, a slightly jelly-finish red that’s the perfect, clean, neutral shade of Snow White apple red.
