Hi Guys! I went into Superdrug the other week and thought that ESSIE had brought out mini polishes, I then realised that they were MUA's new polishes! The packaging is SO similar to ESSIE's its uncanny!
MUA's polishes are £1.00 and they have a variety of pretty colours. When I saw Pistachio Ice cream I had to have it, I think this polish is very similar to the famous ESSIE Mint Candy Apple, which I have wanted for ages but it always seems to be out of stock when I go into BOOTS.
I was expecting this polish to be streaky so was expecting to have to do 2-3 layers but as you can see from this photo below which is just one coat and I think it looks fine!
Overall I am so impressed with this polish and I have looked online and there are a couple more colours i'd like to try so I think my next purchase will be Amaretto Crush which is a pretty coral colour!
Have you tried any of the MUA polishes? What do you think of them?
As you will know if you read my birthday blog post I received the "ALL THAT GLITTERS" mini models own nail polishes.
1. Southern lights
2. Pink Fizz
3. Blizzard
So these are the three colours. I have been looking for a good glitter polish that you can use on its own for a long time now so I am so happy as with southern lights and pink fizz you don't have to use a colour underneath and it only took 2 layers to get them this glittery. I think this is a really good pack as usually in nail polish packs I find that there is one colour that I don't like but with these I really like them all! I have never used the Models own brand before but I will definitely be trying this brand again as the polishes are really good quality. Also I have had a look online and the full sized Models own polishes are £5.00 which is a lot cheaper than Essie's which range from £8 to £9.95.
So as you can see from the title I went into town again! Whilst in Boots I noticed that they had an ESSIE stand, it looked so pretty that I had to buy one (it would be rude not to eh?!).
I decided to get a deep red it is called Russian roulette. Now, I have never used Essie - I know how appalling is that, but our boots has only just started selling it recently so I haven't been able to go out and buy it, I don't like buying nail polishes online as the colours never look the same when you see them in real life.
I have heard only good things about the ESSIE polishes and when I used it I saw what all the fuss was about. It is really good quality, it has a maxi brush, I only had to apply one coat and I have been wearing it for a few days now and it hasnt chipped. One downside to ESSIE is the price but for the quality I think it is actually worth it!
These retail at £8.50 each, but I will let you in on a little secret - If you go to www.fragrancedirect.co.uk they have a few colours on here for £1.99 (BARGAIN) - but everytime I look here there aren't so many colours so you'll have to be quick!
