“Pink flamingo, the child of sunset…” words from an old song like a distant memory came rushing my mind as I was covering my nails in Flamingo, the latest polish shade from Napoleon Perdis. It is such a great strategic move for Napoleon to start producing his own nail polish range, don’t you think? Buying a lipstick and not being able to get a matching (or contrasting) nail polish is like having the moon in a sky without stars. Like being in love without a lover.
The new Napoleon Perdis Love Birds collection inspired by a painting of Australian artist, Felicia Aroney takes the idea of finding your perfect (lipstick- nails) match to the whole new level. A nail polish and a gloss packaged in complimentary shades packaged in a cosmetic bag that showcases Felicia’s artwork. It’s romantic, cute and actually, touching. And, the collection has arrived in the right time too. It’s Valentine’s Day!
Now, to find our more about the Flamingo set, read our review below and if you read till the end, there is a surprise for you!
REVIEW:
- Set Inlcudes: make-up case, nail polish and lip gloss in complementary shades.
- Lip Gloss: the lip gloss adds a tint to your lips resulting in a wet lip look rather than a full-on colour. It’s very sheer and perfect for layering over lipstick to add additional gloss.
- Polish:
- Formula: Very thick almost creamy, highly pigmented and 3-free. It’s very similar to Tom Ford’s nail polish formula.
- Application: 2 coats for full coverage.
- Finish: Classic glossy creme.
- Brush: The brush is pretty good but because the nail polish is so thick, it feels like a a more rigid brush is needed.
- Wearability: With a top coat it lasted 3 days chip free.
- Nail Art: Great for any kind of nail art.
Availability: now $49.00 via David Jones, Napoleon Perdis beauty counters.

Red is the color of passion, but pink, the color of flamingos is the color of playful foreplay and all the games that people in love play. That’s why is such a cool love bird, it’s fun!!

Elese Dowden says
The Flamingo is a cool love bird because they twine their necks together and when they are next to each other their neck shapes make a heart – so romantic! Love these gorgeous birds almost as much as I love the gorgeous gold detail against the pink ?
Mina says
Flamingos are an amazing bird species. They stand on one leg for an unknown reason. The thing that makes their color remarkable is the fact that its bright and vibrant. Although they come from the class of Phoenicopterus which actually means purple wing, yet they are truly pink and remarkablh beautiful.
Janice says
Flamingos look like love. Their beautiful color makes you happy when you see them. They huddle in a flock for warmth and two together can form a heart with their necks!
Candice says
Because it’s natural stance forms half a heart!
Mishi says
-“flamingo” comes from Spanish and Latin word “flamenco” means = fire. .. No love without the “fire”
-Flamingos often stand on one leg, like a lady in love
-They have a four-chambered heart like humans
-Flamingoes form strong pair bonds of one male and one female… Like us in love ..we love the one person for eternity (yea well almost)
-they have the color of a person in love (red/pink
Glow)
And most importantly .. If they form a perfect pair , they put their hearts out for the other !!! (Seen em beak to beak .. They make a heart !! )
And when you see through the heart, all you see is love :)
