Gina Tricot Silver White - swatches and review

This is actually a quite pretty creamy white polish! Unfortunatelly the formula left a lot to which for... It's far too thick! But the finish of it is like of a pearl! Gorgeous!!


GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT SILVER WHITE:

Type of polish: Shimmer.

Colour: A creamy white with micro silver shimmer.
 
Opacity: Good. This is two thick coats. You have no choice but to do thick coats because of the formula...

Drying time: Slower than normal due to the formula.

Formula: Hmm... not so good I'm afraid... Very thick and almost lumpy :/ Evens out pretty good on the nail though. But a top coat is a must over this polish!

Brush: Ok. A bit thin for my taste ;) but ok.

Shine: Dries semi matte, so I have one coat of Seche Vite in these pictures.

Accurate colour, photo vs IRL: Accurate! What you see is what you get! :)

Grade: 2/5 :/

If the formula had been better on this polish I could have really liked it, but it's far too thick! Next time I'll try to make it thinner before applying it. The finish is really beautiful though! And I got for only $1 on a sale ;)

How do you like Silver White?

  1. Det ser jättefint ut på dina bilder, men så läser jag vad du skriver om formulan, och då blir jag lite skeptisk...

    1. Det är fint, men inte värt det pga formulan. Det finns säkert andra liknande lack med bättre formula :)

  3. I like the soft, silky look of this polish. Too bad the formula is not good.

  4. Ovanligt snyggt för att vara ett vitt skimmer! Brukar inte gilla vita skimmerlack, men det här funkar absolut.

  5. Jag gillar det här lacket jättemycket! Funderar på om jag borde trotsa formulan och köra i allafall...

    1. Man kanske kan tunna ut det med typ Seche Restore...?

  6. Hi Jezzica! I like this kind of shades, a little "pearl" like. I think it looks nice with your skin tone. Such a pity the formula was not good, it was a really good deal!

    1. Ciao Natalia! I know you like pearlfinishes! I thought of you while applying it! :) Thanks! I think it looks ok on me too! :D
      The formula was awful... Maybe I'll make it thinner next time... IF there will be a next time ;)
      Baci cara!

  7. Ser oväntat bra ut. Jag är inte förtjust i vota skimmer för det får mig alltid att tänka på sockerbitar men det ser helt okej ut på dig.

    1. Färg och finish är helt okej. Formulan är gräslig.

    1. Ja, alltid är det nåt... Man kan ju alltid lufta lacket så blir det tjockare ;) Men du har rätt, det vore lättare att bara tippa i nåt :)

  11. Såg väldigt pärlaktigt ut, fint! :D Synd att det var tjockt men går kanske tunna ut det. Jag har ju hellre tre tunna normala lager än två tjocka och knappt hanterabara lager. :)

    1. Ja, jag ska prova att tunna ut det om jag provar det fler gånger!
      Finishen i sig är det inget fel på. Rätt vackert faktiskt :)

  12. Looks really "pearly" and beautiful! I would put some black flowers on it, I'm a big fan of black&white :-)
