In Nail Polish, Swatches

Swatch: Majolica Majorca GR319

April 6, 2012 2 Comments

IMG_3165Instead of my usual lip pose, I decided to try with just one. This picture have been edited, hence doesn’t show the actual colour of the nail polish. 🙂
 
You’ll probably know Majolica Majorca is famous for its make-up products; especially their mascara. Bet you didn’t know they had nail polish as well. I didn’t as well, but this nail polish was gifted to me some time ago and I never did a swatch on it. Why? Simply because I hated the dark green colour. I thought it made my nails look exceptionally old because you can see that I favour bright or pastel colours. But I decided to give it a try again, when I saw the bottle in my collection.

Review: As you can see from the picture above, it is a compact sized nail polish. There is only 3ml in that bottle. Despite the size, I find that the brush is big enough to glide easily and paint my nail in just three simple strokes. It is easy to apply, despite it being a slightly older and opened nail polish. For this polish, three coats would sufficiently give you a nice coverage. (I painted three coats). I have only two coats on my thumb, so the colour is a lighter green. The polish is not a single flat coloured one, but it actually has slight glimmer in it. You can see them in the pictures. Overall, I would say that this is an average polish.

By the way, I’m not sure if you noticed but the three pictures above were actually taken under artificial lighting (I used  fluorescent). Heh. I’m trying to use a different kind of lighting to shoot my nails so I depend less on the sunlight. I kind of like it because it gives the impression that I shot using a black background when in fact, I didn’t. What do you think?

And the last two pictures were of course taken using the sunlight. 🙂 So, do you think the colour is a bit too old for me? Or you really love the colour? Would love to hear from you girls!
