ASOS Paint Pots by Ciaté II

I mostly bought these because they were cheap - the ASOS sale is a dangerous place to be - but they turned out to be pretty good.

I don't normally talk about the packaging but this was interesting so I thought I'd show you. Although ASOS do sell Paint bottles individually I bought these as duo's and they came in these cool boxes

From the outside it's a striking black box with high impact lettering

 

then you slide open the box (like a matchbox) to reveal the two polishes nestling in their own compartments inside. Sweet, huh?

 


So onto the polishes...

First up is Agyness, a blackened puple with pink shimmer

Look how pretty it looks in the bottle



Unfortunately much less so on the nail. The shimmer doesn't really come through at all.


This is 2 coats with no top coat


The second in the set is Pixie (I'm assuming Pixie Geldof). It's a mid green, slightly blue-toned green creme



Again this is 2 coats.

I really liked this one, the colour is unusual and coverage is good.

Overall this is two good polishes, interesting packaging and a great price in the sale.

  8. Pixie is a great colour. I was kinda hoping it was named after Pixie Lott rather than Geldof.
