Winmax Nail Brights Polish No. 4 and No. 7 from Daiso Japan

Today I have two more of the Winmax Nail Brights polishes from Daiso Japan. These are No. 4 and No. 7.






No. 4 is a light, creamy beige shimmer polish with small opalescent glitter. It is pretty sheer and needed 4 coats, even so I can still see some VNL. Might be good for layering, we shall see. Pooled at the tips a bit also.

No. 7 is a light, silvery gold glitter polish. This is 4 coats and it covered nice and evenly. It sort of reminds me of China Glaze I'm Not Lion. Super in love with it!





I think these are pretty good polishes for the price you pay ($1.50). Certainly better than some of the cheapo polishes I've bought from drugstores. You can check out my other Daiso nail polish posts here.

Tomorrow I'll be posting a review and video on Daiso cosmetics, so be sure to check it out!

Winmax Nail Brights Polish in No. 2

Another Winmax Nail Brights nail polish from Daiso!

This one is simply called No. 2 and is a jelly pink with silvery holographic shimmer. I layered two coats of No. 2 over 2 coats of an unnamed baby pink Color Club polish. On it's own, the polish is quite sheer and can be built up, but after 4 coats I still saw faint visible nail line.

You can see the holo shimmer in the last photo.

The formula is a bit thick and gloopy, you definitely need to wait for it to dry in between coats or you will get drag and end up with uneven coats. I was impatient, so it's not as level as I would have liked.

Because of the jelly look, I think this polish would be great for layering. I am going to try a glitter sandwich with it!

Overall, for $1.50 I think these polishes are well worth it. I am definitely going to be picking a few more up in different colours.

Half moon mani with Winmax Nail Brights Polish No. 10 from Daiso

Hellooo!

This week I'll be posting products from the Japanese ¥100 ($1.50 here) store, Daiso.

Kicking off Daiso week is this black glitter polish by Winmax in their Nail Brights range, simply called No. 10.

This shade is a semi-jellyish black base, with reddish brown shimmer and silver holographic glitter. The glitter isn't super holo, but it looks nice in the sun. I like this shade a lot, it's subtle, but pretty. This is two coats, with two coats of top coat. The formula was easy to work with and the brush is similar to Essie's. Not bad for $1.50 polish! There was no strong smell either, which is a relief. Some of the cheaper polishes tend to stink like paint thinner or something ghastly like that.

This is my first attempt at a half moon mani, I think it turned out nicely even though it's a bit plain. I need to get some nail studs or crystals or something to jazz up my nail art! Time for a Born Pretty order I think, I have my eye on some striping tape as well.

Hope you all had a great weekend! Look out for more Daiso posts this week :)
