Recently I was really lucky to win the February Wantable box from Shrinking Wallet's Giveaway, and within that was this Face Stockholm polish in the shade Want-a-blue.Being a blue/grey/lilac kind of shade, it is a very uncharacteristic shade for me to wear however surprisingly I actually really enjoyed the change and am really glad that I received it as part of the prize.
I'd never heard of the brand before so it was lovely to have a new brand to try out. I quite like the plain square shaped bottle which is really simple but effective. The only annoyance I had was that the shade name is not written anywhere on the polish which I find a little strange.
The formulation of this polish is brilliant, a lovely consistency that is completely opaque after two coats. So far so good, but here is where there is a real problem...it chipped on several fingers the same day that I applied it.
Now I understand that polishes have to endure quite a bit of wear and tear, but I don't think I have ever had a polish that has chipped on the same day I applied it! For me, that is pretty poor wear time and I wouldn't bother ever buying a polish that did that as there are so many amazing quality, affordable options out these days.
Nevertheless, it is a pretty polish and I enjoyed the change as I usually stick to pinks, oranges and reds. I also decided to come up with a bit of nail art which I've included at the end of this post! (They are a little bit dodgy but I've never been good at nail art...at least I tried!)
Have you tried any polishes from this brand and did they chip straight away for you?
Love the colour! But shame it chipped so fast, that's so frustrating. I've had a few polishes that always seem to chip on the first day but that's because I use my hands a lot xD Love the stripes!
ReplyDeleteI've seriously never had a problem with first day chipping so I was really disappointed with it. Haha, the stripes were such an experiment, I had no idea what I was doing! x
DeleteWhat a shame! It's a pretty cute colour, though!
ReplyDeleteEven though it's not a colour I would normally go for, I think it is quite lovely. x
DeletePretty colour! Maybe the black tip nail art can prolong the chipping for a little bit? (That's such a pretty design by the way.)
ReplyDeleteThat was my thoughts...well, I put the black tips on after it chipped to cover it up, and then found the black extended the wear a couple days longer. Perfect :) x
Deletethat colour is so nice, the nail art looks great too! x
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely :) x
DeleteWhat a gorgeous colour and I love the way you did the photography too!! I'm not the biggest nail person (I always pick my nails - bad habit since young :( but I do enjoy admiring other people's manicures ;) xx Make Me Up Mandy
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a nice change to wear a blue polish because I am such a huge fan of reds and never really wear anything else! x
