Astor Quick'n'Go nailpolish again! Minty green this time!

I really like this new acquisition in my nail polish deptartment. It's name is "361" (wish they had actual names, too) - It is a  powdery minty green and as you might have read before in this blog, I love the Quick'n Go polish range from Astor, because is fast drying (not 45 seconds tho... but somewhere at 2 minutes or so...) and the brush is amazing! I blogged about the amazing brush before (the "1 sec. flash brush"), it's just so easy to use and fast indeed! The color is pretty, not too bright, which makes it easier to wear. I applied 2 coats like 4 days ago and it still didn't chip at all on my nails, which is fab! Of course, I am always using a base coat and a top coat, too.
This is how it looks:

Astor Quick'n'Go 45 sec nailpolish and nailpolish brush review

So this is what I was talking about in a previous post when saying that I know better brushes than the one the Chanel nailpolish had! Below I am showing you the brush of the Astor Quick'n'Go 45 sec nailpolish, compared to a regular nail polish brush (in this case I had handy the Black Pearl Chanel nail polish)

Look how thin the Chanel one is (I know, I know, this is the classic nailpolish brush type) and how big and wide the Astor brush is! This sturdy brush is made especially for FAST nailpolish application, for people that don't have time to *paint* but wanna get their nails done in the easiest fastest and less messy-est way! People like me! On the top of the handle it says "1 sec flash brush". It does work! You don't need more than one stroke for the finger nails and 2 strokes for the thumb nails! And the coverage is perfect! The polish is good, too, great colors and great coverage, and it dries very fast, ok, maybe not as fast as 45 seconds but FAST indeed. One "minus" here would be the lasting power. It does not last too long, on my nails it lasts around 4 days and after that starts to chip. But I guess that is pretty good for a fast aplication nailpolish cuz you can just take it off and add a new one!

These are the 2 shades that I have, but I will definitely buy more of this stuff:

The colors are not named on the bottles, only numbers, the first one is no. 315 and the second is no. 240. Love them :)

Rimmel 60 seconds nail polish - Thumbs up!

This polish is one of my favorites, lately, if not THE favorite! I love the color cuz it's so special, deep dark blue with pinkish undertone and sheen, it's named *Blue Me Away* and is the No. 809. The color payoff is great as well, and the bush is quite nice too, but what I like most about it is that it really dries fast (not 60 seconds as advertised but well, way faster than normal polish) and it lasts and lasts and lasts...Here it is:

Thumbs up for this one!

Chanel Black Pearl (no 513) Nail Color

Okay so I tried the new Chanel polish that I bought for my bday, and I can tell you what I liked and what I did not like about it, now, after 5 days of wearing it. This is how it looks, I wanted to take a pic in natural light so I did it in the car but I guess the gray board is taking away from its real shade:

It is a dark grey with a pearly sheen and with some greenish-blueish tones, it actually does look like a black pearl. If applied in one coat is very see-through but can be nice if you are into the more subtle look, only that it can get streaky if you are not careful when applying it, but I guess that's nothing bad for a polish that wants to make your nails look like a pearl because the uneven aspect is okay in that case. I applied 2 coats here with a transparent base and no top coat. It didn't dry too fast and the brush is the classic one, long and thin so you have to be careful with it. I prefer the new ones that are shorter and wider, i will show you what I am talking about in another post. I have been wearing it for 5 days and now it's really chipped at the tips of the nails even if my nails are not long and I was careful not to scratch things or wash dishes, lol. So I can say I am not very pleased with its resistance on the nail. It is a pretty color but I will not buy Chanel nail polish again cuz apart from the special color (which gets fast copied by other (way cheaper) brands anyways), I see nothing special about it to justify the 22 euros price!
But I will definitely be using this one for a while cuz the color is really nice and anyways, I have to use it now, for all that money! haha
