As promised, here's one of the Urban Decay polishes I said I would review! Something good must be happening, because I'm actually doing what I said I would do. Anyway! This color is called Vice, and it's an eggplant purple with red and blue micro shimmers.
Under direct sunlight, where the micro shimmers are more apparent. Kind of ugly photo especially with my pilly sleeve, it's something I have to work on I guess. Or get a macro lens, which I'm seriously considering for posts like this. Of course I'm sure it'll come in handy for other photos too... but it's probably mostly for nail polish close ups.
PROS:
- It's sooooo pigmented and opaque, it's crazy. Seriously, this truly a one-coat polish. I did two coats out of habit, but I left it at one coat on my ring finger. You can't even tell the difference!
- Super easy to work with - no gloopiness, but it's not super thin that you'd need more than one or two coats. It's a nice consistency, I hope it won't change too much as I continue to use it!
- The packaging, swoooon.
- The color itself isn't anything too special and I feel like I could find a similar color elsewhere. I wouldn't buy it for the full price at $15, but it's not bad for $5 at Nordstrom Rack.
- There's a slight golden flecks in the bottle, but it's not noticeable on the nails - I think it would have been pretty if they were, but oh well.
Do you own this polish, or something similar? What are your thoughts?
This looks really gorgeous! And looks really good on you :) xx
ReplyDeleteOooh I've been looking for a nice purple; this might be a contender! I really like your photos, especially the two in the middle. And your nails are gorgeous - mine aren't in any state to be photographed! N x

I know you've said the colour isn't anything special, but it's such a deep colour I actually love it! The packaging is gorgeous too. I want to try these varnishes!

Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I actually work in an environment where I have to wash my hands frequently, so they can get suuuuper dry around the nail area. I always lather on the hand cream after work and before bedtime, works like a charm!
ReplyDeleteYeah, now that I look at it it I like it a lot more!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I fell in love with the packaging first. I like it more, the more I look at it :)
ReplyDeleteIt is! It's kind of funny, cause I used to avoid shimmery polishes like the plague.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH this is so darn pretty....
ReplyDeleteI agree, it may not be antyhing too special but it is still incredibly special and wonderful :)
It is so irritating when you see beautiful specks and shimmers in the bottle but then when you have the polish on the nails you see NOTHING!!
Really lovely polish though :)
xx
Haha, I guess it still adds to the overall look of the polish? I think I like this one the best out of the three I bought!
ReplyDeleteThat color is so pretty!!! That's pretty expensive full price, awesome you it so cheap!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've been playing around a lot with the settings and lighting, I actually think these came out too warm, but oh well :P
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm liking this shade more and more :)
ReplyDeleteIt is! Looks really pretty in the bottle to me, too.
ReplyDeleteHaha awww, so cute of you to worry like that <3 I'm liking it more and more!
