I always forget that Next make cosmetics, probably because I so rarely go in one! But my lovely Sister had a Next perfume on her Christmas list so I found myself browsing around the cosmetics area and discovered some interesting nail polishes - and a deal, 3 polishes for £8! So it would be rude not to, right?
First up is Molten Platinum which they say has a 'hardwearing pearl' finish. I don't know about hardwearing but I'd agree it's pearly - and also a bit metallic, no?
Molten Platinum is a charcoal grey pearl that leans a bit olive green. I did google molten platinum to see what the real thing looks like but all the pics are of super hot hot orange/red stuff!
Being a pearl application was a little tricky as I was trying to avoid brushstrokes and the formula was kinda gloopy - you can see I had a little trouble getting a smooth looking finish near my cuticle.
Swatches are 3 coats with no top coat.
The bottle is a rectangle, similar in size/shape to American Apparel and NailGirls so I'd assume they're about 15ml.
I like the colour and I think it's pretty unique in my collection but the formula wasn't so great - so a bit of a mixed bag for me.
Anyone else tried Next polishes?
Too bad about the formula, but the finish and slight shift is interesting and pretty!
ReplyDeleteYes, always a shame when something interesting is lacking on the formula
