I love this polish, when I want an fuss-free neutral polish that isn’t boring this is the polish I use. Its a pinky grey duochrome, that flashes orange/pink under light.It takes about three coats to get full opacity.
I did like the other colours in the collection, but I was very unimpressed with the application of Fury! (it literally was making me furious). I found the polish was drying too quickly so it was forming little goopy strands at the end of my nail if you know what I mean? And it was folding up on itself! Maybe it's the technique that I apply with, but I've never had the problem with another polish before. The colour is really beautiful, but IMO not worth the effort to get an even coat...
I had more of a problem with streakyness, than it going gloopy. I've noticed a lot of polishes in Boots separating because of the display lights! Although I'd still rather buy a high street polish than pay out for Chanel's Peridot
That is also very true indeed! Chanel polishes are really..extremely expensive. That, and I find their brushes and formula unimpressive compared to other expensive brands! I think Dior does have a far superior formula and brush (since last year). I far prefer OPI's brushes and EL's as well to Chanel. It's a pity they just don't do the same colours!
I don't actually own any high-end polishes (I know if I start on them I'll end up with loads!) but I completely agree. I've heard nothing but great things about EL Polishes but the colours just dont grab me! Hollie x
Ahaha very wise! I think that is exactly my problem. If I hadn't gone and splurged on high-end polishes I wouldn't be complaining so much when I buy some cheaper ones!
Nail polishes are funny things. I think the maximum number of times I have used a single bottle is about 3-4 times. A couple of colours that I really love maybe a handful more...but they get all gloopy and not very useable after a year or so, and I forget about the older colours I bought when I buy new shiny ones!
this is so gorgeous, it annoys me this is a polish from topshop. i have a love and hate relationship with topshop. they haven't harmed me in any way, nor have i been disappointed in their products. I just *hate* when a company sells only a very limited amount of shops. who do they think they are? give the people the power to make up in all topshop shops or in superdrug or something like that xx
I love how elegant and understated it looks
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!

@anishaxoxo i never really look at the shoes, as soon as I get to Topshop I somehow always end up at the make-up stand!
ReplyDelete@MeganDvs thanks Megan, have you seen the Metallics collection they have released? Some really pretty iridescent colours!
