The Face Shop Nail Polish GR506

It's been awhile since I posted a review on The Face Shop Nail Polish. I already have a few to go through, but this is the first one on my list because it's more appropriate for summer. I have been using this nail color for 3 straight weeks since I got it! It's a very pretty teal color that's perfect for the season. I have used it on my last nail art, and I love it a lot! This is the Lovely:ME EX Nails, and the shade is GR506. You can get it from any The Face Shop Store for P95.

The color is just so pretty! 





I love how it adds a pop of color on the nails and gives it a fun vibe. It brightens the skin too so I can see this working on any skin tone. It's very true to its color as you can see in the photos above. This particular product is thicker than their regular TFS Nail Polish so it's more opaque, dries quickly on the brush but slower when applied to the nails because of the consistency. I normally apply 2-3 coats, and I'm good, but I always make sure that I allow enough drying time in between layers to prevent bubbles. It also makes the nail polish last longer and not chip quickly. It has a slight gloss already so you can skip the top coat, but if you want it glossier and have a cleaner look, feel free to apply a top coat. This isn't streaky so it's easy to apply.



Really love how cute the color is 



Just ignore the mess around my nails :)




Drying time is okay but not the quickest. I normally wait about 3 minutes in between coats and 5-10 minutes for it to be completely dry, (depending on how much product I apply on each layer) when I'm done with the final coat, which is not bad at all. If you're too impatient to wait that long, which I sometimes am, I recommend you use Seche Vite Top Coat! I bought a mini one last month, and it's seriously amazing and worth the price, and the hype! The small bottle will last you a long time so it's really worth it. I'll write up another review on that soon.

Still The Face Shop Nail Polish is my favorite brand of nail color to use because they have amazing color selection, very inexpensive, and last long. They also have more expensive nails polishes, which are smoother, longer lasting, and better quality like the Face It and the Wide ones. For the record, this isn't a sponsored post. I just love the brand and their products :).

I hope you enjoyed this post! Until my next blog post! Take care! ♥

The Face Shop Nail Polish Review BK901

I always thought that black nail polishes were too much for me; that's why I haven't really bothered buying one. I imaged it would be difficult to clean up and work with, and a very sexy nail color. Until I finally decided to try it and see how it works out for me. Well, what do you know, I really like it! I just had to cut my nails because it looks better on shorter nails if you ask me. I'm really glad that I did because I think this is my new favorite nail color now! The price is still at P95 from any The Face Shop store. If you are new to black nail color, this is a good place to start without breaking your pocket :). 




The Face Shop Nail Polish BK901





This nail polish review is on The Face Shop Nail Polish BK901 from the Lovely ME collection. I think TFS reformulated their nail polishes because the Lovely Me:Ex line used to have a thick consistency that is a little difficult to work with, and dries pretty quickly on the wand, and now it's more runny. I didn't have a problem putting it on because as always, the brush is nice enough to work with and the thinner consistency helped me to work with it easily. Since it's a black nail color, I was more careful with the application because I don't want too much mess on my fingers as I know it'll be a pain to clean up.

I love how opaque and very black this nail polish is. I only applied 2 coats but you can see how bold the color is. I think my nails look better in black than any other colors, and I believe black will look good on all skin tones as well! This also dries quickly, which is another good thing about it. I didn't have to wait for long to apply the second layer. It stayed on my nails pretty good, and only started chipping after 5 days. I don't normally use the same color on my nails often, but I have worn this for almost a month now; that's how much I like it.









PROS:
Long wearing
Easy to apply
Inexpensive
Great quality
Very Opaque
Quick Dry
Beautiful color for all skin tones


CONS:
I don't believe there's any  ^_^


I tried wearing this the first time on slightly longer nails, but it didn't look nice to me, so I had to cut my nails short, and I love it. I think dark nail colors on shorter nails make it look classier and sophisticated. This nail polish has been a favorite product this month for sure, and I don't think I'll get tired of wearing this color on my nails.

My verdict: 5 STARS!!! 


Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating this special occasion! Have fun :)

Spring/Summer Nails! The Face Shop Nail Polish PP401

It's been awhile since my last The Face Shop Nail Polish review so I'm so excited to post this one up. I actually have 2 more lined up but have been pretty lazy applying nail colors lately (I blame the heat for that LOL!). This nail color is from the Lovely ME:EX line and costs P95. I love this packaging because it looks really cute and clean with the white handle. 





shade info



The shade is a very pretty pastel purple that reminds me so much of the ube ice cream! This is a perfect nail color for the Spring/Summer because the color is so lively and fun. I love that this isn't a bright color so anyone can definitely wear this nail polish at any day. It will stand out on light to fair skin even more.









The consistency of this particular nail polish line is a lot thicker than the regular ones with the black handle, so do not take too much product for each coat. Pigmentation is quite good, very opaque, and true to it's color as you can see on the swatches below. I applied 3 coats to achieve this intensity and I didn't need to apply a top coat anymore because this is already shiny as it is. Although you can use a top coat if you want it to last longer and scratch free. I of course never fail to use a base coat first to protect my nails from any damage and it helps to make my nail color last for almost a week. 








This nail polish dries fast so always give enough time for the product to dry in between coats to avoid any bubbles and for the product to stick better. You can build it up if you want a more intense color but don't rush it and ensure that it dries pretty well in between coats to avoid chipping or damage. I have also read from blogs that The Face Shop Nail Polishes dries fast on the bottle but so far it has never happened to me. I just make sure that I close it tightly and don't store it where there's direct sunlight. 

My verdict: 5 STARS!!! It's worth every cent because it's very pigmented, dries fast, lasts long, very opaque, and easy to apply. This is a good quality nail polish and definitely worth the investment. 

What's your favorite nail color to wear this summer? Everyone is welcome to attach a swatch on your message :).

The Face Shop Face It Nail Polish PK105

Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I last did a nail polish review and today it's all about this gorgeous nail color from the Face Shop Face It PK105. It's a fuchsia pink polish with blue undertone. This polish is more pricey than their regular polish at P185. I love the packaging because to me it looks more neat and sleek! The brush is longer too and softer than their regular polishes so the application is really smooth and easy. 








The product dries fast when applied on the nails but not on the brush. I sometimes find it annoying when I need to put the wand back in the bottle and shake it because it has already dried up. This polish doesn't have a strong smell and I really appreciate that. It's consistency is runny yet extremely pigmented and opaque which are the reasons why I love it a lot! I have 3 coats on my nails however it doesn't appear thick at all. It doesn't bubble either as long you let each layer dry first before applying the next one. This polish also has enough shine so I didn't apply any top coat anymore. However you can definitely apply a top coat if you like it shinier :).

The Face It line is more pricey at almost twice the price but the quality and the shade selection is definitely better! If you don't change nail colors often this is a good investment because it just looks very pretty on the nails. 

I only have good words for this product. This is now my favorite among my The Face Shop Nail Polish collection :). If we talk about quality, consistency, and shade this polish is definitely a must have. When I got it this shade it was actually the last one on the shelf and I'm really happy I got my hands on this. If you adore pink as much as I do, you will surely love this :D. 

My verdict: 5 STARS!!! I highly recommend this to all nail polish junkie! You gotta have this in your collection :)

The Face Shop Nail Polish GR501

Hello everyone! I have another The Face Shop Nail Polish review for you all. It's on a shade I'm really excited about because I love how bright and flattering it is. This is in shade GR501 which is a sheer yellow green polish with tons of glitters! This was from my December purchase and yet it still feels like new. It didn't dry up or discolor at all. I've heard from other TFS nail polish users that it dries up on the bottle fast, fortunately for me that hasn't happened yet. This is from their regular nail polish line at P95 from any The Face Shop store.

The Face Shop Nail Polish GR501 shade #


The swatches look yellow because of the flash on my camera. And because it's sheer so it looks lighter than the color on the bottle. I applied 4 coats on my nails to achieve this intensity. I didn't want to add any more because I don't want it to be thicker which oftentimes make it easier to chip. I didn't add a top coat either because the shine of the polish is more than enough for me. 



the shade makes my skin appear fairer :)

i love the color!

I love glitter polishes because it stays on longer as the glitters hold the polish together, and it sticks on the nails very well. It's even a little difficult to remove so if you're looking for a vibrant nail color which can last for more than a week, this is one kind to consider. They also come in many different shades :). It's easy to apply as it's not streaky nor thick. It dries up in a matter of 3 minutes and doesn't bubble so I like it even more :). If you want it to look more opaque, you can add a few more layers without making it seem like you have tons of product on your nails. 





This will be a lovely nail color for Spring, or for the coming summer in the Philippines in a month :). I'd definitely wear this in the beach because of it's very attractive and vibrant color which is so like summer! And because I just love bright nail colors! :D

Overall this nail color is really good and it's climbing up the charts of my favorite polishes :). My rating, absolutely 5 STARS!!!

The Face Shop Nail Polish BR802

Hello everyone! I have another The Face Shop Nail Polish for you all and this is on BR802. It's a a neutral beige shade that is suitable for all skin tones and ages. This is a great nail color to wear for everyday, school, and work. 

This kind of polish (the one with white handle) have thicker consistency than the one with black handle. I don't know if you've noticed but I have quite a few TFS nail colors and it's always the case. Since it's thicker it's more opaque, and preferred by many. Although this is a little streak and dries pretty quickly, the end result is really good and makes the extra work all worth it. 


The Face Shop Nail Polish BR802





Below are more swatches. I only applied 2 coats in 5 minutes and it's good to go! It can bubble though so allow enough drying time in between coats. Make sure to always use a base coat as it is highly recommend to prevent damage on the nails. This also removes all the oil from the nails making the polish stick better and last longer. I did not apply the top coat anymore because the shine is good enough for me and I don't need it to last too long, but you can most certainly do so to protect the polish from fading, and chipping.

You can wear this color on your date on Valentine's Day :) or even to the prom without having to compete with your makeup or dress, but will make you look more polished. This is one of the neutral nail colors that I really like a lot because it makes my hands look better :D. I love how this makes the nails look neat and elegant without putting too much work.

My verdict: 4.5 STARS!!!

The Face Shop Nail Polish PP406 Review

This is my second bottle of this shade and I used up the other one early last year. I love it a lot because this shade is one of the most beautiful dark purple nail polishes I have seen. It has silver glitters which makes the nails look more elegant. This is a great choice if you want to wear a dark nail but don't like black nail polishes. I was planning to wear this shade during the holidays but I didn't get to use it because the one I had on was pretty good as well.

Please forgive the imperfections on my application and just look at the color :). It's a lazy day for me today because I've been busy with work, and some personal stuff and don't have much time to spare to clean it up before taking the pictures. I'm just too excited to share it with you all because I really like how this nail polish looks and it's been 2 days since my last post here :D.

Just looking at the swatches says it all. The shade is really pretty and it's very flattering. Women of all ages can wear this nail color and it should look good on any skin tone. You can wear this day or night and on any occasion. It's very true to its color on the bottle and highly pigmented. I applied 3 coats to achieve this intensity and I'm very happy with it. It's not too thick which makes the application easy enough as it just glides on the nails. It's quick drying so you don't need to worry about waiting for long. This is a perfect polish to use when doing a gradient nail because the first layer is sheer and you can build it up to make the color bolder.


very true to its color

lovee the shade!


This particular product is very long lasting because the glitters make it stay on longer. I find that it doesn't really chip as the glitter holds the product together. It's even difficult to remove. I have gone 10 days with this nail color before without chipping and I had to take it off because I missed wearing other colors too LOL.  

I have nothing bad to say on this nail polish but only good stuff. It works great, lasts long, beautiful and flattering shade, quick drying, and affordable. 

My verdict is no doubt 5 STARS!!! I recommend everyone to try this :).
