319 Silver Foil
I picked up 3 of the latest nail polishes from Barry M. They are 319 Foil, 320 Foil and 321 Nail Effects. Keep reading for my reviews & swatches!
319 Foil - 2 coats is a Silver Foil nail polish. It looks like aluminum foil on my nails, which I find brightens my skin and it is quite flattering. The only problem is that brush strokes can be quite obvious. It is my favourite out of the three that I picked up.
320 Foil - 2 coats is a gold foil nail polish. It leans towards the green-ish side of gold. I don't find it appealing on my skin, even though I tend to love golds in general. I think it might look better on someone fairer skinned or with cooler undertones. Like the Silver foil, brush strokes are quite obvious.
321 Nail Effects is a gold glitter shatter. To be honest, I was not too impressed. I was hoping it wouldn't be as glittery and gritty. I didn't think it looked particularly good with the Gold and Silver foil as on my swatch above, but I also can't think of any suitable nail polish base colours to wear this with. What do you think?
Here are all 4 swatches together:
I actually quite like the gold glitter shatter, and think it'd look good over a black base, or even red/gold for a more festive theme =)
ReplyDeleteA deep purple colour would look fab underneath the shatter too! =)
I like the gold and silver, as the other person mentioned i think it would look great with a darker base like black or purple!
ReplyDeletePretty colors. Gold and silver are my favorite metallics.

ReplyDeleteThey look really good!
ReplyDeleteAw it's so sad how the most gorgeous metallics are so streaky : (
ReplyDeleteThey look really nice but I'm not really liking the shatter polish. Besides that my favorite is the gold foil
ReplyDeletethe cracked ones would look amazing with black underneath :)

ReplyDeleteI wasn't impressed with the shatter polish either.
ReplyDeleteYes :( But with a steady hand, the streaks will be more even and wont look too bad though! :)
