MUA NAIL VARNISHES REVIEW

Before I start typing away my feelings about these MUA nail varnishes I would like to apologize about how poorly I have painted my nails.. sorry! However future nail varnish reviews will improve as I bought myself a nail palette as I intend to do a few posts relating to nail varnish in the future and I find my ciate ones cringey.

Back to these five nail varnishes which were all a pound (bargain) and can be bought from Superdrug.
1. All Nude (thumb) -When I got my delivery I was like is this actually nude or is this white and the answer to that is, it has a very subtle hint of a nude brown. Was I disappointed with this? Yes & No I was really looking forward to a nice nude as some day my favourite cookies & cream by Ciate will run out. On the other hand, I like White nails and don't currently own a white nail varnish, so maybe I got the best of both worlds here.
2. Bold Blue - I bought this as I'm loving blue nails especially Essie- Bikini So Teeny I wear it all the time, definitely obsessed. But when i'm feeling blue I will be sticking to Essie not this just because I love it more. The blue in the picture is totally the right colour as to what it appears on my nails. However I found this nail varnish particularly watery compared to the others, I don't know whether it was just this one I had received or they are all like this, so thought I would share that.  (I really want to find the best powder blue, so any suggestions please let me know)
3. Natural Days- So before I bought this I thought it would be a paler pink as that was what I saw when I typed it into google, expecting a pale pink I was shocked that it was a bit darker than a pale pink not dramatically but a tade. So although the colour in the bottle disappointed me, I fell in love when it was on my nail. I had been searching for the perfect pink and I think this may be it, so praise to MUA.
4. Lush Lilac - So as before I googled the shade and was expecting a paler lilac, however I am happy with what I received but would have preferred the paler shade. But saying this I would wear this colour again especially in spring and I can't complain as its only £1.
5.Pistachio Ice Cream - I am loving this pistachio/mint green colour its lovely, perfect for spring and definitely worth having in your nail varnish collection!

General things? These nail varnishes apply streaky, so I found it took me 3 coats to get my desired colour on the nails. They lasted two days without chipping without a top coat which I'm happy with as I change my nails every couple of days anyway. Now as I mentioned above by looking at pictures and other reviews I found people had paler versions, so I dont know whether they apply a different top coat or I've just received faulty ones (if that's possible) but just be aware if you are thinking about purchasing these online.

I think that's all for this post, let me know your thoughts about the colours in the comments or tweet me @ramblinhan I'm thinking of doing a series of my top 5 nail varnishes in a particular, e.g. top 5 blues. Let me know what you think about this idea, however they will be in a few weeks time.
peace & love & until next time, han x
