Remember the pre-wedding no-buy where I was (on the whole) very well behaved and stopped hauling make-up and nail varnish by the bucketload?
Well, all I can say is that it’s a good job that I didn’t clock these little beauties from Max Factor before the wedding.
Up until recently I only had one Max Factor polish which I haven’t reviewed as yet as it didn’t really excite me. It’s in my box of “boring” untrieds that I suppose I should start working my way through. But recently I was in Superdrug, stocking up on my Holy Grail Masterpiece Max mascara, and these little pretties caught my eye.
At £3.49 each, they are not cheap. These are mini bottles and I think you’d get maybe less than 10 applications from a bottle, depending on the size of your nails of course. I think I used about a fifth of the bottle doing the three coats that this polish required.
However – I absolutely love the range. I think I ended up buying about six of
them (shhhh) as there are frosts, duochromes and glitters on offer here – all of them absolutely fabulous. I got so excited about these that I nearly took a photo of them all to show you but I decided that one by one would be better!
I wore this for about four days in the end as events conspired against me and left me with no time to change my polish. It lasted brilliantly and I had no chips and very little tipwear which I put down to the metallic foil effect binding it to the nail. I also wore this to a few client meetings as I figured it was just about work appropriate…although somewhat glitzy.
So – it’s love. Nice one, Max Factor. I have a massive queue of untrieds to get through but I keep wanting to inch these polishes up to the front of the waiting line. So that should indicate how impressed I am – and all with something from the humble high street.
Wow. This looks fabulous. What a wedding polish it would make! Foils are just so easy to wear.
i love these kind of bling bling polishes!!! looks great on you. we don’t have max factor anymore =( and even when we did have it i don’t remember nail polish!
I love this! What a pretty foil. It would make a nice wedding polish. I’ve seen these but the size of the bottle and price have not motivated me to buy any. This ones unique so I’ll keep my eyes out for it now.
This is totally cream wedding dress appropriate!
I just bought this, then when I’d tried it I went straight out and bought another!
I wore a disgusting ointment pink Chanel polish on my wedding day… I wish I’d had this then!
