I bought this polish over 10 years ago, I am not quite sure if the glitter pieces have faded slightly as I had expected it to look more silver. It has a friend that I posted in 2014, if you look at it here, you'll see what I mean the glitters are golden.
It is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush and formula are both good and it goes on well. I think it would look better if the glitters were more silvery rather than greyish. This is the problem with glittery polishes, they do deteriorate over time even if well looked after. It's okay I guess.

What a fun nail polish! It's a shame it is not as glittery as you hoped, but considering it's been ten years, I guess that is to be expected!
ReplyDeleteI wish it was more glittery! It has lasted well. Thanks Ivana :-D

ReplyDeleteSomething different! Thanks :-D
DeleteAnanka, I like the color of your nails.
ReplyDeleteThanks Irina :-D
DeleteSo cool, but is it hard to get off later?
ReplyDeleteIt is easy if you soak it for a few minutes, then it is easy! Like all glittery polish!
DeleteSo pretty, but I've never tried these.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Something a bit different :-D
DeleteToo much glitter for me. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha I do like some glitter :-D

ReplyDeleteWow, that's extravagant
A bit different eh! Thanks :-D
DeleteI see what you mean about the original gold state, this may have been the same but silver which would have looked nicer than the bleeding glitter version.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine it looked good back when it came out! Do you remember in those days Boots released a lot of good polishes! I don't even know if 17/Seventeen still exists?
DeleteI do, they had a lot of different finishes then. They still exist but not as much choice, I saw they have 'new' magnetic polishes but although the bottle is new the polish itself looks very similar to the magnetics I have from 2011.
DeleteThe good old days! I will need to have a look. I got those magnetics back then too!
DeleteIt's too bad this isn't as silver as it used to be, but it still looks really fabulous! It's such a unique polish!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a bit different. Thanks :-D
DeleteUn esmalte muy bonito. Besos
ReplyDeleteThanks :-D
DeleteIt sounds like you've had quite a journey with that polish! It’s interesting how glitter polishes can change over time, especially after such a long time in your collection. Your detailed review is super helpful, especially noting the ease of application and drying time. It’s a bummer about the glitter not looking as silvery as expected, but at least it still performs well overall.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your insights!

Yes I think it would have looked better back them! Yes still decent enough and worth keeping I think. Thanks Melody :-D
