Post Updated: See edit at the bottom of the post. *facepalm* I’ve had numerous messages telling me it’s meant to be layered, several of these have just been downright rude and I’ve deleted them, well a couple of comments and a few e-mails.) it’s all well trying to “tell” me something but to be all omg r u stupid.. no. get stuffed when you can’t even write a sentence in English. I’m not a beauty expert, I just write my honest opinions. I know now it is meant to be layered, so stop telling me!

Pictures just can not capture the extrodinary beauty of this polish. I saw its gleaming pearlescent colours and just had to get my hands on it. £3.99 for a tiny polish though… The other couple of Max Factor minis were great though and this is just one that HAD to be added to my collection. Plus things have been so horrible lately, I deserved it. Going in to Superdrug to get their wipes but no make up would have been torture anyway.

I’ve looked on the net, and I can’t find much about this polish… strange. I wanted to see if others had the same experience as I did. It’s a beautiful looking polish and it looks good on… eventually!

Blue and purple with copper shimmer. Looks pretty doesn’t it? Unfortunatley, to get it to look this good, I had to apply SIX coats! It is so thin on. And of course, what happens when you put lots of coats of polish on? If you don’t sit there for an hour not touching anything, they get messed up. That and of course, it’s a mini, there isn’t much in a bottle anyway. So how much can you get out of it? Only time will tell. Who is patient enough to do 6 coats anyway? It took ageeeees. I just really wanted to see how it’d look in the end. Perhaps a blue base coat first might be good and then paint this stuff over it. I’m not even sure. I don’t know how many coats you’d need as this is my first pearlescent polish, but I was thinking three, maybe four?

As beautiful as this polish is, I don’t think I’d repurchase before experimenting more (as I have a feeling if I use this a couple more times, it’ll be empty!)

EDIT: As people keep seeming to miss this despite linking it to numerous people, here is it layered, as it should be, posted a few days later. *sigh* And both of my posts were still the first posts to come up on google at the time so I had no info on this and have never had a “layering” polish like this before, so I didn’t know. See the other post. I know it’s meant to be layered. I did not when I first tried this and wrote this post, so please, stop telling me things I already know.

Max Effect Mini Nail Polishes are £3.99 and are available in Superdrug, Boots and online.
