Ciao a tutti!
Oggi nel giorno di Halloween vi mostro un bellissimo smalto viola, che purtroppo ha un grosso difetto: la durata.
Appena ho visto Claire’s Metallic Purple in negozio me ne sono innamorata, l’ho comprato e poi l’ho lasciato lì per un po’, scoraggiata dal “Metallic” nel nome. Infine gli ho dato una chance e l’ho finalmente indossato. Un viola meraviglioso, con riflessi magenta e azzurri che gli danno tantissima profondità. La stesura è semplice, non tanto coprente alla prima passata ma perfetto alla seconda. Ma il giorno dopo averlo steso era già rovinato sulle punte. Neanche 24 ore. Non scherziamo.
Due passate senza top coat.

Hi everyone!
Today I’m celebrating (not really) Halloween with a gorgeous purple nail polish, which has a big flaw: lasting time.
As soon as I put my eyes on Claire’s Metallic Purple in the shop I fell in love with it, I bought it and then I let it in its drawer for a long while, fearing the “Metallic” finish. In the end its turn came and I wore it. A gorgeous purple with magenta and blue shimmer that give it more depth. Applicaton is easy, it’s not very opaque in one coat but gets perfect at the second one. But the day after wearing it my nails were badly chipped. Not even 24 hours after application. Are we kidding?
Two coats, no top coat.
Non è bellissimo? Peccato per la qualità davvero pessima. E’ praticamente utilizzabile solo per occasioni speciali, e di breve durata!

Isn’t it gorgeous? It’s such a shame that it’s really poor quality. You can basically use it for special (and short) occasions only!

It IS really pretty...too bad about the formula.
ReplyDeleteDitto.
DeleteI would have never thought such a beautiful polish would be in Claire's. I'll have to pay more attention next time I'm in there.
ReplyDeleteThey actually have some gems every now and then! That's why I always check the store whenever I'm in that area (not too close to my home unfortunately).
Deletewow. This purple is ALIVE. Sinful Colors Let's Talk is close...and a fabulous formula. Claire's stuff is so terribly hit & miss.
ReplyDeleteI have Let's Talk! I need to compare them, thanks for the tip Nichole!
DeleteI didn't know Claire's were a bit of hit and miss, I have only used a couple of them so far.
That really is too bad the quality wasn't great, cause wow - that color is stunning
ReplyDeleteSo true.
DeleteWow, that is really pretty! Such a bummer that it chips so easily though!
ReplyDeleteI agree Marisa!
DeletePeccato la durata...il colore è bellissimo ma è il difetto di tanti smalti la durata :(
ReplyDeleteVerissimo :(
DeleteUn vero peccato perché è un viola favoloso
ReplyDeleteParole sante.
Deletemi ricorda molto un essence...!
ReplyDeleteDavvero??
DeleteToo bad it didn't last well, it's a pretty shade!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty Kerry!
DeleteToo bad the quality is so poor indeed, because indeed it is an absolute stunner! So deep and bright and pretty! I must keep an eye out for this... I kinda need it.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling, been there, done that, haha!
DeleteWow è un colore pazzesco!...*_*
ReplyDeleteDavvero!
DeleteWow that is a gorgeous purple!
