Another day, another dollar. This was a rather rough Monday and boss lady just reminded us that we need to bust your butts all week in order to make the cut for our monthly deadline. Today wasn't a productive day and I'm gonna have to tell everyone to hold off on questions and problems until next week cause I really won't have time for that this week.
I stumbled upon this new brand of nail polish at my local nail supply store and after going through the colors that they had available, I settled with just two to try and mainly because I thought the colors looked nice.
Fly to the Galaxy has a semi-sheer jelly dark blue base with a purple undertone to it and lots of scattered fine holographic glitters. Looks absolutely lovely on the nails. I love catching a glimpse at the sparkling pretty holos and seeing how they twinkle on my nails. The formula wasn't the greatest. It's a bit thick and hard to spread evenly. This one could use a few drops of thinner. I was able to get fairly good coverage with two coats and the visible nail line is barely there.
Mystic comes in a very cool looking bottle. It has a rounded triangular shape to it and a very shiny and metallic bottle cap. It's a metallic silvery pewter with a light green undertone to it. It seems to have some very fine silver glitters in it, giving it a bit of texture, though when I touch it, it doesn't have the sandy gritty feel of a textured polish. The formula wasn't the greatest and but doable. It's thick and very saturated. I might have been able to get away with just one coat but I needed a second pass to smooth out the application. The first coat was actually a bit streaky.
So far, these are the first two polishes I've tried from the brand. I'm not overly impressed. I didn't find them too difficult to work with but they're not too shabby for the price I suppose. If your local stores don't carry this brand, you can actually find them on Amazon for about $2.50 a pot.
Well those are some unique, fun colors! There are 2 nail supply places within a mile of my house but they are both always closed, and I have decided they are money laundering fronts :)
ReplyDeletehaha yea that sound shady for a store. I wished we had more nail suppliers in my area or well if we did, I wished I knew about them cause I don't have much luck with the search so I always go to the same one.
DeleteNever heard of this brand, but they both look very pretty! Since they're not expensive, I think I might be able to put up with the not so great formula.
ReplyDeleteI really love Fly to the Galaxy! It's beautiful.
DeleteYeah they're not too bad for the price. Nail thinner always come to the rescue when I deal with thick polishes.
DeleteAW THESE ARE GORGEOUS!!!! Loving that galaxy one :)
ReplyDeleteI agree I like that one better too
