On My Nails #6: Love & Beauty by Forever 21 Nail Color
When I go to the mall, I usually don’t have a shopping list on hand so I sometimes end up buying things on impulse. That’s a very bad attitude, so please don’t be like me. If you want to buy something, do a little research first so that you will love what you get. Anyhow, I went inside Forever 21 at SM North Edsa, The Block to buy some nail art tools. Upon browsing, I saw the whole nail polish collection, and I ended up choosing colors that I liked. Because I do not have this Glitter Polish yet, I decided to pick it up. It doesn’t have a name on it, it just says “Blue/Pink”. It would be better if they put a specific name, right? The nail polish costs Php 150 per bottle, not bad for its size, so I picked up this, and the Sand Lacquer you see at the back.
The nail polish applied a bit opaque, but it looks better with two coats. I did not encounter any problems applying it on my left hand, but it was such a struggle on the right. I am right-handed so I shake a lot when using the left hand. It is a bit difficult to put the glitters on, because the second coat washes it away. *sigh*
I really loved how it turned out, but know what? I just erased it after taking the pictures. It looked horrible on my right hand, so I can’t wear it the full week. I can’t give you the longevity of this, so sorry about that. Maybe if I can master painting with my left hand, then I will be able to give a better review of this.

Overall, this nail polish is not that bad at all. It was just my painting skills that sucked. I still recommend trying this nail polish out. There are other colors to choose from. Maybe I should have gotten the clear one with glitters.
Hope you liked this review! Let me know if you have tried this nail polish, or if you have something similar like this!
Have a great week!

Very pretty! I love the glitter bits on it! Don’t worry about the right hand, I’m sure you’ll get better at it. I used to be horrible with painting with the nondominant hand as well, but I think after quite a lot of tries I consider myself passable. 😛

Love the color + the glittery specks! Will definitely check this one when I go to F21. I have some of their polishes too and the quality is pretty decent. 🙂

Glad to know that the quality is good. I am still going to mess around with it to appreciate it more.

If you have trouble getting the glitters to show, do one coat first. Then, dab the second coat on so the glitters more or less clump and stick 🙂

Thanks for the tip, Tellie! Woot! 😀

Super cute color! It reminds me of one of the nail polishes from Etude House (the ice cream looking one). 🙂
