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 PK101 Review

I have another The Face Shop Nail Polish Review for you all and this is on PK101. It's one of the light pink gold-ish nail color that I really like on my nails because it makes them look neat :). I love how flexible it is that I don't need to worry if it matches with my outfit or even my makeup. This nail polish is the same as the other "classic" ones I have reviewed in terms of the packaging and amount of product.

i super love the color

so lovely to look at :)

The polish is pearl based so you see sparkles/shimmers. It's very easy to apply since it's not streaky. I only applied 2 swatches and I am already happy with how it looks. I've had this on my nails for a week now and yet there's minimal chipping so staying power commendable. One of the longest staying nail polish I have tried from TFS. No bubbles too :). It's dries pretty quickly and very easy to use so from the application until the moment it sets, it was nothing but a complete breeze. Love it!

My verdict: 4.5 STARS!!! I would definitely repurchase because I love their polishes and I recommend this to anyone who likes frosty nail colors :).

Review: Etude House Nail Polish

This is the first Etude House Nail Polish I have tried and I have been very happy with the results. It's a small-sized nail polish compared to The Face Shop polishes I have tried, and cheaper for only P49. It's an affordable nail color which I would love to try more. The quality is really really good :D. If I'm not mistaken, there's 7ml of product in this bottle.


Etude House Nail Polish PK012



I was very interested with the shade when I saw this nail polish on the display. I can't resist a pretty pink anything (most of the time). And because the packaging is so cute :D. I like Etude House lip products and bb cream a lot so I thought that this product is as good as well.

I love how it makes my nails look neat and clean

The product is really sheer. I had to apply 3 layers to achieve the same color as on the bottle. The brush is soft and longer so it feels like you're light handed when applying it on your nails and seems like you have less control. Its consistency is not too thick so it glides on smoothly. It dries out pretty fast too which is a really good thing. After the third day today it still didn't chip even without the top coat.

Overall I really like this product a lot. It's a cheaper but good quality nail polish that I would love to repurchase. I would recommend this product and color to those who like a candy pink nail polish for less than P50.

My verdict: 4.5 STARS!!!

The Face Shop Nail Polish Review BR801

This nail color is one of my favorites among the neutral shades I have because it's very flattering. For me it's a very pretty shade for any occasion but I believe this is a perfect nail color to wear for a wedding. It's a sheer beige color which is a bit hard to work with because it was a little streaky. I had to be very careful during the application as I wanted to achieve a seamless look. I did try this on a few times without luck, until probably after the 3rd try :D. I didn't like seeing any streak so I had to remove them every time I see a single strip.

From the swatch you call tell that it's a sheer nail color and looks very clean. I only did 2 swatches and I was already very happy with how it looks. I didn't want to layer too much because it affects the sheer effect and for me it's what makes this shade look lovely. I also did not apply top coat anymore because I don't want any added shine. I have to say that this one stayed on longer than the many I have already tried.


A very pretty shade for anyone

I love that it looks so neat and clean

I think my nails on this shot is really pretty... :D

This shade should look great on any skin tone. At first I was hesitant to try it because I know I'll have to work harder to apply it but it's all worth the effort. I had to carefully apply each coat to avoid streaks and I believe it turned out okay. I'm so in love with this color. I'm sooo glad I got it. 


PROS:
Flattering color
Good pigmentation
Long staying
Dries easily
Very wearable for any occasion 
Suits any skin tone

CONS:
A little streaky

I cannot say anything bad about this particular nail polish other than I had to work harder to apply it. I love this shade so much! Any lady should get this color because it's just so gorgeous. I will definitely wear this shade on my wedding :D.

My verdict: 5 STARS
Would I repurchase? Without a doubt!
Would I recommend? YES!

The Face Shop Nail Polish Review: GR501


Hello everyone! I have another nail polish review today and it's on The Face Shop GR501. I got this a week ago but I got sick and didn't have the chance to write a review and show you some swatches. This nail color is a baby green shade which is great for teens too. It retails at P95 on any TFS retails stores.

The Face Shop GR501 back

Unlike the other face shop nail colors, this one doesn't have the brand name printed on the front of the bottle but on the lower part of the handle (see photo above). I like the packaging a lot because it looks clean and lovely. This nail color line works as great but this particular shade is a little streaky and chipped a lot faster even with a nail base coat. It only stayed on my nails for 2 days and then it started chipping. It was a little disappointing but I still enjoyed wearing it because it made my hands look soft :). I have this on GR502 too and that one was not as streaky and not as thick and I was really in love with the color. You can click on the link and check out some swatches. 

I had a little difficulty applying the product on my nails because the consistency was a little thick. Since it's a little dense, it didn't look good on my nails and I had to repeat the application twice to get it right. I also used 3 coats to hide the lines and keep the look even.

I still like their nail colors and I understand that not all products are perfect so I will still continue to buy their nail colors :D. As a matter of fact I got 2 more colors yesterday on candy pink and a very lovely red. I hope to post review soon. Please do check it out :).


PROS:
Lovely color
Price
Packaging

CONS:
Streaky
Thick
Not very easy to apply
Chipped fast



My verdict on this particular nail color is 3.5 STARS!!! Would have been a 4.5 if it lasted a longer. Hope you enjoyed this review. Take care everyone! :)

Cute Summer Nails: The Face Shop Nail Polish PK105



I have done quite a few reviews of TFS Nail Polish so this will not be a full review but more of a swatch post. I was intending to make a review and swatches of a new shade that I got which is green but I noticed that I haven't used this one yet so I decided to do this one first to show some pictures of how cute this color is. This shade is in PK105 that retails at P99. It's a very pretty pink shade suitable for the season! Summer is not my favorite season because it's burning hot but this is the time when most people hit the beach, enjoy the vacation, and be in style (of course compared to the rainy season). I really like wearing bright colors on my nails and this is the best time to do it! 






Below are some of the photos of the nail color on my nails. I broke my nails 3 days ago **sad** so I cut it short but I think it still looks pretty nice and clean :).

Pink is my favorite color and this is one of the best pink nail colors I have used. I actually saw another pink toned nail polish when I bought the green one 2 days ago and I am excited to get my nails on them :). It's a brighter shade and more candy like. Will definitely get them this week and post some pictures after the green one so you see how cute it is. 

Just like the other TFS Nail Colors I have tried, this one is easy to apply, very pigmented, and fast drying! I love The Face Shop Nail Colors and I give this one 5 STARS!!! :D

Over the past week I got a few products I am excited to share with you all but my time is just very limited. I hope to find more free time this week for some skin care and makeup reviews. Take care guys and I hope you enjoyed this post!

The Face Shop Nail Polish PP409 Swatches and Review



I was supposed to post this 2 days ago but Globe, my ISP, was down for almost 12hrs and I couldn't go online. My phone signal was down as well because of the Globe problems so I couldn't post this using my phone either so I apologize if I mentioned on my previous post that I was going to make another review 2 days ago.

It's the summer but been a wet summer for the past few days so I decided to wear a nice nail color that suits the weather. On the pictures, the nail color looks more blue but it's actually a purple nail polish with blue under tones. Actually more like a 2 tone polish. It looks purple when it's dark and blue in direct light which I like a lot :).

For those who already are familiar with my blog, I have done many The Face Shop Nail Polish reviews before so I won't go in depth anymore with this one as they pretty much work the same. For those who are new here, please check out my other nail polish review as you may like them too. This is still from their classic nail polish line which retails at P99. Check out how the color looks so pretty below:

PROS:

  • Great Color
  • Easy to apply
  • Fast drying
  • Very pigmented


I only had to apply 2 coats and I'm already satisfied with the color.


CONS:

  • It chipped easily! 


Only 4 hours after application and  it started chipping which is a bummer. This is the first nail polish I have that chipped this fast and that's a little disappointing.

Overall the color is great and I like how it looks on my nails. I give this 3.5 STARS only because it was not long lasting. If it was, I would have given this nail color a 4.5 stars,

The Face Shop Nail Polish BR 805 Swatches and Review

The Face Shop Nail Polish BR 805


Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I last updated my blog because I've been busy with work. I have a few ELF Cosmetics haul and I cannot wait to review each of them for you. For now, here's a new post on The Face Shop Nail Polish in BR 805. I did a few reviews on this brand already and they seem to be pretty consistent when it comes to staying power, ease of application, and pigmentation so I won't be doing any in depth review anymore. Here are some swatches for those considering buying this color. 







It's a pretty brown color that will suit any skin tone but I think will look gorgeous on fair toned skin. It looks so good on the nails and you can wear this everyday for school and work. I can't describe how much I like this color because it just looks so good on my nails ( At least I think so... LOL ). Been wearing this for 3 days now and there is not one chip. Using The Face Shop's top coat did help with the staying power and how the nail polish look like... neat and clean. It doesn't scratch so easy, it's easy to apply, and not streaky. The color you see now looks very pigmented but I only applied two coats of the product which for me is amazing. This is still one of their classic or regular nail colors that retails at P95. I have a few more colors to show you soon and I hope you check that out too. Take care!
