Tulipe Noire is an oldie but a goodie. It was released in Fall 2007 alongside Magnolia Rose and, even though my bottle is a couple of years old, the polish still managed apply flawlessly (no thinner needed!). In fact, the formula is perfection: only two coats were needed and they applied like butter. The color isn't the most original but gold shimmer keeps an otherwise safe burgundy color from looking too flat. I also found plum undertones peaking through in certain lighting.
Even though burgundy isn't the trendiest color for 2011, it is always "in" and never fails at complementing my fall wardrobe. This is why I love rediscovering my older polishes: I love realizing how many colors are new & chic to me even after a few years... not to mention I feel less bad spending so much money on polishes when I know they will last forever ! Let me know what some of your most loved polishes from collections past are :)
I used Mavala Protective Base Coat and Mavala Colorfix Top Coat.
