First I would like to say that these polishes stink to high heaven. The smell is worse than Kleancolor, It is so strong and just smells like it's not 3-free. For some reason I can not access the Cherimoya site to see if they are or not, so for right now I will assume they are not.
In the bottle Mystery has me sooo intrigued. Then when I polished my nails with it, it really was a mystery. I liked the polish before it turned matte.
Here is the polish Matte on my nails:
I thought it was a really pretty and the shiny-ness of it made me think it would be great for stamping, so I also stamped it on my one nail to see how it would do. It stamped well, but I had to work fast, because the matte pigments make it dry super fast, so I had to move quickly. (I used Cheeky Plate CH5)
Then I wanted to add a top coat to see the amazing shiny-ness that amazed me at first, and I was not dissappointed. I think that these polishes should stay shiny instead of matte, because it's so much prettier in my opinion.
Also, the Seche Vite I used was old, and smeared the stamp, which was a disappointment, but I didn't have enough on my brush and my brush swiped against the stamp, so that was mainly user error.
Here is a bottle shot if you are interested:
Final Thoughts: I don't think I will be purchasing any more of these, they just stink too much for me, and at $2.99 I don't want to pay for something that stinks that bad. I am also not a fan of the already matte polishes, because I have a matte top coat, so i feel like I could add the matte if I wanted it to be mattte, but that is just me. And I think that these polishes are so much prettier before they are matte.
What do you think?

ReplyDeleteIt's a bummer that they smell so bad for you. I loooove the smell. lol All of the suedes I have are incredible like this! Where did you pick them up?
ReplyDeleteI like the smell of normal nail polish, but these are just horrific to me! lol. I picked them up at a place called something like J fashion, just a local beauty supply shop.
