Review and Swatches: Claire's Pastel Nail Polish

I recently purchased this set of six pastel nail polishes from Claire's. If you don't know what Claire's is, it's a retail store that sells accessories, jewelry, and other fashionable items typically for the younger generation. I remember as a teeny bopper I would always shop at Claire's! This set of nail polishes really caught my eye because I'm such a junkie when it comes to rainbow colored... anything! And even though these were pastel, I knew they were gonna come out looking fabulous!

Before I go on to the review I just want to say how vibrant these colors are in real life. These colors would literally glow under a UV light! My camera does not do these swatches any justice and for you to actually get the full effect, you'd have to see it in person.

PROS:
→ Colors are very vibrant and they all have a cream finish except for the purple. It has a slight shimmer to it. Nonetheless, all the colors are gorgeous!
→ Nice consistency, except for the first coat. After about two coats, the colors look very opaque which is a plus!
→ The price isn't too bad. You do get a variety of six different colors which are all amazing.
→ Quick drying.

CONS:
→ The size per nail polish. You don't get a whole lot but again, the variety of colors replaces that.
→ The wand is pretty short. I like my nail polish wand to be fairly long for better control.
→ First coat is a little runny. Two coats is fine but I think three coats will be best to get the overall opaqueness of each color.
→ Not too sure yet on the lasting power but with any nail polish I recommend a good top coat.

 

  

  

  

{Each swatch was about three coats of nail polish}

TOP L to R: a toned down hot pink, a gorgeous pastel orange or better yet a peachy gorgeous color, & perfect pastel yellow!

BOTTOM L to R: Perfect pastel green! I'm surprised this one doesn't look neon green, perfect pastel blue, what more can I say!? This last one is not a cream color but it's a lovely pastel purple that looks so dreamy in sunlight.

OVERALL:

I love love LOVE each one of these nail polishes. I love this entire collection and the color choices are on point! These colors SCREAM Spring! I love the fact that it's not your typical neon colors (though I love me some neon!) But these are so perfect for the Spring season and with Easter not too far away, the color combinations are endless!
