The last of my W7 Metallic nail polish purchases from last month (promise!). Metallic Neptune is a delightful teal/purple duochrome and another succesful 2-coater.
This one is still in stock (at the time of writing) at NailPolishDirect.co.uk priced at £1.95.
Which has been your favourite of the metallics I swatched and did you buy any yourself?
You thought you’d seen the last of these right? Wrong.
A thoroughly decent 2-coater, the duochrome effect is more apparent on this one in the bottle than it is on the nails but the lovely, almost flakie-effect makes up for any shortcomings.
It irks me that W7 are clearly capable of such lovely polishes… most of their shades are completely blah. How awesome would it be if they stepped up their game in the shade stakes!
The site I bought mine from now appears to be out of stock on most of the shades, but W7 Metallic Mercury is still available to purchase from FragranceMad (albeit at inflated prices). Make the most of the 3for2 and Free Delivery to soften the grumbles.
Are you ready? No, really… are you? I thought I’d save a particularly special one for Christmas Eve because in some ways, Christmas Eve is better than the big day right? All that anticipation… *shivers*
LOOK!
Ain’t she gorgeous? W7′s Metallic Jupiter is a delight… a true delight and brings me proper, proper joy when I look down at my fingernails. It shifts from purple to blue in a whirlwind of psychedelic glory.
God damn do I ever love a good duochrome. If I had one wish for Christmas (aside from world peace, eternal happiness for Leila and an everlasting can of diet coke) it would be for more duochrome nail polishes in 2012.
I purchased W7 Metallic Jupiter online from www.nailpolishdirect.co.uk, priced at £1.95 – I believe that it’s a discontinued shade so don’t hang around if you fancy adding it to your collection!
What’s your Christmas wish? Both frivolous and meaningful..
I’m back with another W7 cheapie for you!
Today’s is Metallic Saturn, one of those green/gold combos that come out all mossy/gold and beautifully patina’ed on the nail.
You’ll be pleased to hear that this one is a glorious 2-coater with smooth application and heaps of shine. I haven’t used a top coat in the above photo, it just didn’t really need it! I’m finding these W7 polishes quick-drying but very solvent-y and recommend ensuring you’re in a well-ventilated room when using them!
I purchased W7 Metallic Mars online from www.nailpolishdirect.co.uk, priced at £1.95 – I believe that it’s a discontinued shade so don’t hang around if you fancy adding it to your collection!
Another humdinger of a polish today with W7′s duochrome delight that is Metallic Venus. A gorgeous purple/blue combination that sings on the nail and doesn’t do to badly in the bottle either!
This one is less sheer than the Metallic Mars I showed you last week, fully opaque in three coats with no application issues. Again, I paid £1.95 for this shade, bargain of the year I reckon.
W7 Metallic Venus is available to buy online from www.nailpolishdirect.co.uk, priced at £1.95 – I believe that you may also be able to get these in Savers? (thanks Nargis)
I love a good bargain and this W7 polish, purchased for the princely sum of £1.95 is a very good cheapie indeed! Sure, it’s sheer (4 coats minimum) and it stinks so badly that I was worried my husband would phone NHS Direct for advice on solvent abuse. But look, for less than £2 – it’s a pretty, pretty subtle duochrome.
Wear was great, I often find this with sheerer polishes… perhaps a side effect of those multiple thin coats? Either way, I have no complaints on chipping or any of that nonsense.
