FACE Stockholm - Nail Polish in 78 & 135

*some pictures were taken quite a while ago and some were recent, hope that explains some of the differences in how I show off the products


I know when I say this someone will want to strangle me but yay it's almost autumn!! This is a time when I usually like to wear darker shimmery shades or what you can call more 'vampy'.  The two colours that I am going to show you totally fit!

They go on like butter, smooth and pigmented! Two coats and it's perfection. I do get a bit of wear around the 3rd-4th day but usually by then I have the urge to change colours anyway! One thing I don't like is that there's no names, only numbers ho-hum.

#78 is an amazing dark shade of velvety purple with a hint of brown and plum. Now when I say brown it's not like it can be classified under that but instead it has a flash shimmer of golden speckles which makes this quite a unique colour.
I used 1 coat of Essie Grow Faster and 2 Coats of #78 and 1 coat of China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat.

excuse my ring finger haha! I had a tragedy.

#135 is a gorgeous forest emerald green. It is a shimmer colour so there is a bit of streakiness to it, but it's barely there. It goes on smooth and opaque in two coats. I have to say sorry, I took these pictures before when I had some weird dent in my nail and I feel it's all up in my face! But anyway...
I used 1 coat of Essie Grow Faster and 2 Coats of #135 and no topcoat if I remember correctly. It looks like I didn't really do a great job cleaning up either oopsies!! Before my cuticles were always bothering the heck out of me and greens/blues are the hardest to clean up so I think I just left a glorious mess for all to see.. my bad!

All in all, FACE Stockholm has some great polishes. I definitely will be looking to purchase a few more. On the plus side.. they are not that pricey at all.. only $12 for 0.5 fl oz / 15 ml ! :D

You can check out their selection here!! They have over 100 colours and finishes to choose from!


oh one thing as I know it bothers a few of my friends.. their regular polish bottles are rectangular but their holographic ones are round!!!


Until next time,

FACE Stockholm - Friendship Veil Lipstick

This will be the beginning of a few posts featuring FACE Stockholm :).

I am going to start off by saying.. I am totally biased! I absolutely love love love their products!

Thanks to Wantable & FACE Stockholm, I have quite a few of their products, all tried and all loved!! <3

You may remember a while ago, I wrote a post about their holographic polish - Thea! If not check it out here: Click here to check out THEA :D

                            

Today we have one of their Veil Lipsticks In Friendship Veil. Veil lipsticks  is one of their more subtle formulas giving a 'sheer wash of moisturizing colour'. Even so, I think it provides good colour coverage. On their website, the swatch seemed a bit more coral but it's definitely more red like my swatches. 

Depending on how heavy your application or if you do the blotting technique you can get your desired coverage. First picture, left we have 1 normal swipe of the lipstick, on the right we have 2 swipes of the lipstick.

Below, on the left of the hand it has a total of 3 swipes, as you can see it's still a bit sheer but has a rich watermelony pink/red colour! On the right is a faint blot of the lipstick. This will give you really light coverage, which I think is good for anyone since it only 'reddens' your lips ever so slightly! That is my choice on how to apply it since my bottom lip is pinker than my top.

Have you tried any FACE Stockholm items yet??
I can't wait to share with you other ones!!
