Forever 21 - Black Glam Sand Lacquer Textured Nail Polish

Hello dear readers!

As I promised on my last post, here are the swatches for Black Glam, one of the textured nail polishes by Forever 21. (Click here to see their entire line of textured nail polishes)

As you can see, Black Glam is not black, but a dark purple with  multi-color microglitter (I can see some copper, yellow, pink,purple and a bit of green) It's a bit hard to distinguish due to the dark base.

The opacity of this nail polish is good. I only needed 2 coats to get this result.

I really like sandy texture. I own some sand finish nail polish from other brands, but this is the 1st time that I actually try it on my nails. I couldn't stop touching them. :)

Also, the formula was easy to work with. No bald spots or dragging at all.

*I received a question on my previous post about how easy was to remove this type of nail polish.

I think it's just the same as any other glitter nail polish. If you use the cotton and aluminum foil method, it makes this process so much easier ;)

 

What do you think of this nail color?

How about the textured nail polish trend?

Forever 21 - Sand Textured Finish Nail Polish Collection Swatches

Hello dear readers!

Today, I want to show you swatches of Sand Lacquer nail polishes by Forever 21 which have textured finish. I bought this collection a few weeks ago online. When I saw these nail polishes, I knew I had to have them. I love the color variety and the sparkly finish.

Now, lets see some close up pics and swatches...

The price per bottle is $2.80 which is a very affordable price as compared to other textured nail polishes brands out there and quality-wise, they are similar. I found them easy to apply and fairly opaque.

As far as I know, they are available for purchase online, through Forever 21 website and in-store.
One thing to note is that the names on the polishes are different listed online as compared to the actual bottle.

Online name - Bottle label

Purple Jazz - Purple/silver

Metallic Love - Champagne

Mesmerizing Magenta - Magenta Multi

Fire & Ice - Red/gold

Caramel Crush - Burnished Gold

Blue Jewel (same name)

Black Glam - Purple Gold

*On my next post, I will show you swatches on my actual nails wearing Black Glam from this collection ;)

Have you seen or tried a nail polish from this collection? 

If not, Which one was your favorite color form these swatches?

Forever 21 Nail Polish Mini Haul + swatches

I want to show you some nail polishes that I bought from Forever 21 online store.

I've noticed that this store is selling very cool glitter nail polishes recently and couldn't resist to buy these beauties:

Names from left to right: Crystal Pink, Tinsel Town, Crystal Confetti, Confetti Crush and Pink Speckled

Crystal Pink: pink shredded glitter
Tinsel Town: multicolor bar glitter
Crystal Confetti: Chunky multicolor hexagonal glitter
Confetti Crush: Multicolor shredded glitter
Pink Speckled: Flakies and small glitter in fuchsia jelly base (some say is a dupe to OPI - Lily I Love You)

Swatches from left to right:
Crystal Confetti, Confetti Crush, Crystal Pink, Tinsel Town and Pink Speckled

I love the variety of glitters that F21 has released. I can see myself frankening with some of these. The price for these nail polishes is only $2.80 + tax, very affordable considering that I've seen very similar glitter polishes for triple the price.
What I don't like is that the names of the polishes are only in the online store, not in the bottles. For example, the multicolor glitters are called "Crystal/Multi" in the bottle label. Please stick nice names on the nail polish bottles, F21.

Do you like chunky glitter nail polishes?
