Review: Missha The Style Lucid Nail Polis in GL01

Yes people, another Missha nail polish review and this time, This nail polish is from their "Lucid nail polish line".

I ordered this nailpolish w/ 2 others (GR002 w/c I already did a review on and the AGR01 w/c I will be giving a review on in the near future) from an online seller.

Each of the nail polishes I bought has different prices. I'll just give an outline of the ff:

The Style Nail Polish (GR002) = P75 (acc. to my seller, this is Missha's basic nail polish line)
The Style Lucid Nail Polish (GL01) = P120
The Style Crystal Nail Polish (AGR01) = P220 (this is Missha's most expensive nail polish line)

As you can see, I bought one from each nail polish line out of curiosity. I was wondering what would be the difference of each nail polish line to give them different price range? (from bit expensive to ridiculously expensive..hahaha!)

To give you a heads up about my opinion about the 3 nailpolishes, THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. UNFORTUNATELY, THE MOST EXPENSIVE NAIL POLISH WAS THE MOST DISAPPOINTING NAIL POLISH I'VE EVER BOUGHT IN MY LIFE..piece of sh**..if you ask me, so you could skip this (AGR01) sh** or try at your own risk.

Anyway, on with the review.

Comment:

This particular nail polish is very, very sheer. This is only good for designing a boring nail color...give it more "bling" (^_^)

Pro:
- has a unique paddle shape brush which is surprisingly great to use for easier nail polish application w/c is great for amateurs like me. haha! I wish all nail polishes will have this kind of brush. Here's a pic (from all sides!):

 

 

- dries quite fast.
- doesn't have a very strong nail polish smell.
- has very fine glitters..I don't like chunky ones.
- comes in a cute, unique heart shape bottle. Here's a pic:

- it's dupable. Here's the dupe:

You could also find dupes like this from The Face Shop or Elianto nail polishes..just check.

Cons:
- expensive
- very sheer. You can coat for the nth time and it will still be sheer.

Here's a pic of the first coat:

forever sheer.....

Review: The Face Shop Nail Polish in YL703

 I thought I'd never find a yellow color nail polish that would suit me. Luckily, there is!

I let my sister in law choose this for me because it's really hard for me to choose limited products in a single purchase especially if I like all of it..hahaha!

Haul: Missha and Nyx stuff

This is quite a great day for me today. The reagent for the blood chemistry test was delivered at lunch time. Meaning I can finish my thesis before graduation! yey!!!

Another great thing that happened is that my order from digitaltraincase arrived today! yey! My first NYX lipsticks and cream blush is here! yey!

Review and swatches will be done in the future (^_^)

I also went to SM northedsa today with my husband while waiting for his car to finish from its maintenance checkup. This time, I took the chance to really really check out the prices and the products offered in MISSHA.

Sorry for the misinformation I gave last time at my MISSHA NAILPOLISH REVIEW. The prices of their nail polishes ranges from P120-P220. Sorry for the wrong approximation of prices...I can't stay that long in the shop last time because all sales ladies were kinda ambushing me in a nice way...You know what it feels like to be too accommodated inside a store especially when you're the only customer inside..I really want to be left alone when I go inside any store. If I need assistance, I will be the one to go to you.

Anyway, I bought their MINISIZE nail polish worth P120 which already is their most affordable line of nail polish.

Review and swatch in the future!

I hope they would still consider adjusting their prices a bit lower...or maybe put their store somewhere where many people pass by..curiosity always sparks cravings to a shopaholic for quality makeup and skincare like me and you!! yes you! (^_^)

Review: the Face Shop Nail Polish in BL604

Product: The Face Shop Nail Polish in BL604

Comment:

It a very, very dark royal blue (looks like a very fine liquid metallic dark blue) which I love! (I LOVE DARK NAIL POLISH COLORS! ESPECIALLY BLUE ONES!) It looks almost like black from a distant glance.

Pro:
- dries quite fast
- doesn't have the strong nail polish smell.
- color true to the bottle.
- the color is vibrant even w/o top coat.
- large quantity (11 ml in a bottle)
- lasts for a week or more!! (To think that I do heavy chores everyday!)

Cons:
- quite expensive (P95, but I'm not complaining because i love dark colors!!!)

**TIP!!

= Dark colors, especially blue (at least for me) will make your hands look whiter and elegant without looking emo. (no pun intended to emos)

= Want to try dark colors, but is scared of black? Try blue.

= Dark red (wine red, ruby red, true red, etc.) makes your hands look elegant, but older...try it. If you're in your teens to early twenties, paint a dark red color on your nails, it will look funny..Like you borrowed your mother's beautifully manicured hands. I've tried it many times and I still can't pull it off...Maybe when I'm 25..I'll try again...My sister-in-law can pull off this color already.

On with the pictures!!!
