NYX Advanced Salon Formula – Part 3


Let’s continue on with the NYX Advanced Salon Formula colors, shall we?

This was an interesting batch of NYX Advanced Salon Formula polishes to swatch. With two of them, Magnolia and Sumptuous being so similar in color, I actually had to redo swatches because I kept getting them mixed up.

I continue to be impressed with this line just for the pigmentation alone. Although not quite a one coat color, they comes close. Some of them are just a touch thick, but nothing extreme. If it really bothers you, it’s nothing a drop or two of thinner won’t take care of.

The first two colors shown are the two I had troubles differentiating. Although they look pretty different in the individual swatches, the bottles are so incredibly similar that I had to repaint to make sure I had the right swatch to the right bottle – something that becomes pretty important when you’re labeling the swatches. Magnolia is a bit more mauve than Sumptuous but the biggest difference is that Sumptuous has a blue iridescence that Magnolia doesn’t.

At first, English Rose struck me as a mediocre pink that leaned to coral. But once it was on my nails, I loved the pink iridescence that showed up. This raised its ranking for me. Acid Pink is my favorite of this crowd. While the others have a quiet beauty going on, this one is a bit more obvious. Acid Pink (and so aptly named) is a hot pink neon with glass flecks. Can it get any better than that?

    These are gorgeous! Do you know if they’re sold in any brick & mortar stores?

    Lisa – …I have no idea! Based on recollection, I haven’t actually seen them sold in a store anywhere – but I’m not one that’s big into brick & mortars so I wouldn’t be the best authority. I usually get my NYX products online from Cherry Culture (usually during one of their 20% off everything sales).
