Application was the usual easy and I couldn't fault the formula. I was able to be more in control the application again and no hint of gloopyness in sight. I had one hair on the brush right in the middle of the brush longer than the others but it was nothing that a quick snip with a pair of scissors couldn't fix. My photos show 2 coats of polish. Fashion Fawn gets my thumbs up!
I am not very good at describing shades, and comparing it with others. For me it's brown, a nice shade of brown. I am going to leave you all nail polish aficionados and taupe experts to appreciate the nuances in my little comparison swatch below. Thank you Emma for the comparison inspiration :) xx
I really enjoyed that exercise. I have found that:
- Barry M Mushroom was the easiest to apply (They have really nailed their formula!!)
- I still want to recycle / blog sale Accessorize Truffle: not too keen on the brush, it feels so short. I am not very comfortably applying it, the size of the cap of the truffle feels disproportionately too wide too big compared to the length of the brush. I can’t believe how grey and dark it looks here!
- My favourite brown from this little swatch is Jermyn Street and it made me appreciate it even more.
This is one of these times when I would have loved to be a freak, to have 4 more fingers on the same hand and compare more shades at once. Now if you want to compare nails inc london, fashion fawn, eyeko posh and no.7 'the brown one' I'd love you for ever :)

Ooh pretty, :D x
I'm not gonna lie - I don't like this colour but I am very jealous of your nails! xx
Im liking Jermyn Street and Fashion Fawn is quite nice too.
Oh no now I want it! I have Jermyn Street, maybe I'll go for the Barry M instead of buying the magazine again, I already have the other two lol
Thank you for my mention :D and I have the same with my Fashion Fawn, for some reason my brush has one hair longer than all the others :s bizarre! I absolutely love it though, even more so than the teal :D xx
oh i'd walk around with all the different shades at once. I think it looks really cool :D Like Shaded Nails :)
Love Lois xxx

I like all of these. You are so right about the Accessorize big caps. Same goes for Models Own and Nails Inc. I have small hands and find these large round caps very troublesome.
love that colour fashion fawn :D
Just bought 17 supreme shine in mood dust, which is of the same brownness! Wish I had seen your blog post first! Your nails are perfect as is the application. Must have had a lot of practice! Lol
o its very similar to Barry M Mushroom which is on my wishlist :-) x
That looks lovely on you! It's good to see that it is different to the others as I wasn't sure if it was too similar to others when seeing this instore. I went for Electric Teal as I was looking for a shade like this.
God, I love these ALL!!! I'd go absolutely Taupe crazy if given the chance and an unlimited budget. Seriously. Head to toe(pe).
I apologize for the terrible attempt at humor. lol
Have a great one! x http://xNTA.blogspot.com/
