MUA Love Hearts Polish: I WANT U....to be less streaky!

Hello!

So the first polish that I am going to be talking about is I WANT U.

*All photos taken in natural daylight*








I WANT U is a bright, tangelo creme. This was 3 coats on some nails, 4 on others. I actually love orange polishes and this one is no exception.

Except the one MAJOR downfall! The brushes on all of these polishes are terrible. They are short and have plastic fibres which drag the polish making it streaky no matter what I try.

The formula is nice, with a better brush I would probably only have needed 2-3 coats for it to become opaque. The polish dried pretty quickly.

I've decided to just empty an old nail polish and just use that brush whenever I want to use these polishes because this brush is seriously unmanageable! Maybe that's just my particular ones but then again, ALL of the other brushes are the same. But I mean, it only cost £2 (S$4), so I didn't except it to have a perfect manufactured brush!

Size:
6.8mL for £2 (S$4)

Availability:
I ordered mine from Superdrug. (Sent to my nan's house, my dad was in England for work so he picked it up hehe!) You can find them on the MUA website also.

Thanks for reading!


*If you have these polishes, have you experienced the same problem with the brushes? Let me know down below :D*

Watsons Disney Polish ~ 38


 





Number 38 is a deep raspberry. The formula of this polish is different than the other 4 I previously got. It has no shimmer and no glitter and it is a jelly finish. I applied three coats, and I wanted to add another but honestly if a polish needs 4 coats, I'll use it more as a base for glitter or glitter sandwiches!

It dried almost to a leathery texture. After three coats you can still see my nail line and the yellow stain of my nails, which I personally don't want to be visible. If you are someone without stained nails, I'm sure this polish wouldn't be a problem.

I layered this over the Watsons Disney Polish Number 46 (click here to check that polish out) and they look really nice together.

You can find this polish at Watsons @ S$2.90 for 12mL.

*Have you ever tried any jelly polishes? What did you think/expect from them?*

Watsons Disney Polish ~ 18







Number 18 is a fuchsia creme with a slight magenta shimmer. Sadly you can't really see the  shimmer on the nails, however I sometimes think that creme polishes can look a little flat, this has like a sheen to the polish that makes it look really pretty.

I applied two thin coats, three coats on my thumb. Application was smooth and not streaky at all. I didn't apply a base or top coat.

You can find this polish at Watsons @ S$2.90 for 12mL.

Watsons Disney Polish ~ 11

Hello!

Here is Disney Polish number 11.








Number 11 is a light silver with holographic silver glitter, but it doesn't really show up on the nails. It reminds me of a lighter, smoother version of OPI Your Royal Shine-ness.

Application was good, I applied three coats without a topcoat and it was smooth and shiny and wasn't streaky at all. It also didn't feel gritty on the nails albeit the glitter.

You can find this at Watsons @ S$2.90 for 12mL

Watsons Disney Polish ~ 46








Number 46 is a deep fuchsia pink with iridescent blue/purple shimmer. This polish is just stunning, it has so many dimensions and it looks lovely both in sunlight and artificial light.

The application was smooth, it wasn't too thin or thick. I applied three coats, but I think I could have just used two on some nails. It was very quick drying and dried smooth, not gritty.

One of my favourite polishes is OPI Be A Dahlia Won't You, which is the closest colour I have to this one. However the OPI one doesn't have the blue shimmer in it, which really attracts the eye and gives the polish another dimension.

I didn't mention this in my previous post about the Disney polishes, but the character on the bottle does not have any relation to the actual polish colour, for example this is number 46 and it has the queen of hearts, I have another number 46 which is obviously the same colour, and it has Maleficent on it. Just wanted to mention that because I didn't realise that until I got a second bottle!

You can find these in Watsons stores around Singapore @ S$2.90 for 12mL.

Watsons Disney Polish ~ 45

Hello!

I showed this polish in my recent haul, which you can see here.

I found it at Watsons in one of the bins near the cashier, where they have all the cheap things on offer so you buy something extra. grrrr evil!

These are 12mL for S$2.90. The colours really drew me in, but they were all seperated in the bottle but I thought since they were so cheap, why not try them? Plus, I love all things Disney.

Here's the first polish I got, number 45...





 Natural Light

 Flash



Number 45 is a peachy pink with an orangey gold shimmer. As far as application goes, I was pleasantly surprised.

I started with my index finger first and then did the rest, when I finished painting my thumb, my index finger was completely dry. This was three coats. The finish is smooth, it wasn't gritty at all, on par with OPI and Orly I would say.

I had this on my nails for three days with no top coat or base coat and it only chipped because my actual nail chipped! I had a shower, washed my hair, opened boxes and it was still perfect. I'm pretty amazed by this since the first time I tried a Deborah Lippmann polish which retails for S$35, I had a shower and it peeled completely off in sheets the same day!

So for S$2.90......Bargain! If you can find this at your Watsons, pick it up!
