This is a quick review and swatch of Superdrug's MUA nail polish in 'shade 1' as I wanted to get a post up today before things got to hectic so apologies for the rushed nature of this.
The polish is actually a really lovely colour; it’s what grabbed my attention as I walked past the display. I’d never used this brand before so didn’t know how well it performed, but for just £1 (6.2ml) I didn’t have much to lose.
The bottle ^ reminds me of a mini Chanel bottle, which is quite cute!
On the nail the polish is very dark blue, almost black and glossier than I had expected. You can’t really see the sparkly flecks unless you have a direct light on it though, none the less, I do like it.
The polish itself took 3 good coats to look opaque and fairly streak free. It also doesn’t really last that long, I think it was about 2 and a bit days before chipping (without any base/top coat as I wanted to test it without any help from other products) – which is kind of what I was expecting for the price, maybe a little bit better; however it would be fine for a night out as it dries relatively quickly and will no doubt last the evening without chipping.
I’ve also put glitter polish over the top of it on a couple of nails, which looks even better... and if you want a picture of that adding please do comment to let me know.

This is a great colour i didn't try any mua nail polishes yet.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colour.
ReplyDeleteI find the Mua polishes themselves great They dry very quickly and last just as long as a Rimmel polish. However one needs to bear in mind that a Rimmel polish is 12 ml, so double the size and a 12 ml MUA polish would cost £2.
I like the quality of the polish, the brush however is an absolute desaster.
I can't work with the brush it goes all over the place making the appication really messy.
Such a shame.
