Today I have two indie polishes to share with you all! I have never tried nor heard of this brand before Llarowe had a sale, so I figured it was my chance! I have Paula, a white base with black, red and yellow glitters and Giovana, a blue base with navy blue glitters. Paula is up first:
I really like the combination of colors in Paula! They remind me of 101 Dalmatians for some reason. The color, unfortunately, is all I really liked about this polish. It was difficult to apply, really thick and not self leveling. As you can see above I was only able to successfully place one yellow glitter, none came out by itself. I understand glitters can be difficult sometimes, but these yellow bits were a pain. The polish only comes in a 8ml container, which equates to .27 fl oz, well below the usual .5 fl oz in many mainstream brands, yet retail price is still $8.50. Lastly, the label. It is so blurry, I can't even read the brand name, I literally had to go back and look up what the brand was. I don't know what happened there, but if you want people to remember your name, make sure they can read it.
I purchased Paula here and Giovana here. Overall, the Esmaltes da Kelly did not impress me. I love indie brands, but I also love high quality product. With the application being so difficult, I would not recommend this polish to anyone who wants to deal with tricky application. There are many unique and exciting colors, so I may give it another go, but for now, not my favorite.
Pretty Color!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Colors were great, but the application was difficult.
