It's been awhile since I've shown you guys a nail polish from Forever 21's beauty line, Love & Beauty. I always take a look at the nail polish selection when I'm in a Forever 21; the colors are only $2.80, the formula is of decent quality, and they sometimes have really unusual, very pretty shades!
I picked up Mauve fairly recently, and it's a really pretty warm greyed berry-plum color with loads of pink and gold shimmer and flashes of ice blue shimmer throughout. The formula was just fine; I have no problems with application, and I get a few days of good wear out of it, which is average for me. I think it's really comparable to some of the better drugstore nail polishes out there. The brush is on the small side, but is definitely usable.
Summary: This color isn't spectacularly unique, but I think the shimmer really sets it apart from similar shades in my collection. I've worn it a few times since purchasing it, and I find myself reaching for this bottle more than I would have expected; it's a versatile shade that looks really put together but is still interesting, and it's perfect for the colder weather!
The shimmer in this is gorgeous. I wish it transferred alot better. But whatevssss. And its definitly perfect for the cold weather!
ReplyDeleteI feel like most shimmers in cream formulas don't translate that well... But I have an arsenal of shimmery top coats to remedy that! ;)
DeleteLooks pretty! Reminds me of OPI's Wooden Shoe Like to Know.
ReplyDeleteOoh, you're right, I think they are similar.

DeleteI love these types of grey-toned polishes! They're such a modern, chic, way to wear a neutral nail.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree! I fell for these types of colors pretty hard.
