H&M Spending Cash with Carl - swatches and review

This was a hidden treasure that had been laying untried for years in my stash. But as soon as I started to apply it I fell in love with it!! It's sooo gorgeous!!! A dark blue with so much shimmer in it that it looks metallic!! :D
And now - picture spam!!! :D

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Shimmer.

Colour: A dark blue packed with so much medium blue shimmer that it gets an almost metallic finish! :D

Opacity: Very good! This is two coats.

Drying time: Normal.

Formula: Good! Maybe a bit on the thin side but absolutely not runny! Still easy to work with. Watch out a bit on the sides and at the cuticles though. This polish wants to go to these places ;)

Brush: Good! A bit thin, but firm so still quite easy to apply with.

Shine: Very shiny on its own, but I have one coat of Seche Vite in these pictures.

Accurate colour, photo vs IRL: Actually quite accurate. Best pictures are the daylight pictures.

Grade: 5/5 :D

This is a gorgeous blue polish with an awsome metallic finish! I can't beleive I didn't try it before now!?

Do you like this metallic finish?

  4. WOW this looks so pretty on you! It really compliments your skintone. I love metallics colours, but not all blues go well with my skin tone :(
