Urban Outfitters Sweet Sugar & Mystic Disco Swatches



So yes, I did it. Even though the last polishes I got from Urban Outfitters were HORRID (so bad I never used them after swatching them), I figured I would try again. I found two polishes too pretty to leave in the store.


These photos are far more accurate than the ones above. A light taupish greyish purple and a gold that is so pale and has so much silver sparkle it almost looks silver. In the store I couldn't figure out if it was gold or silver.



And the best part? They were two for $8 in store! Online these ones are not included in the two for $8 promo, but not sure if its an error in store, or an error online. Either way, they were $4 each.


I would basically describe these as a liquid sand IF you kind of sanded down the finish. They feel a bit textured, but not anywhere near the amount an actual liquid sand or pixie dust polish is. They are however completely glittery, completely sparkly and all around GORGEOUS.

New Textured Polishes From Urban Outiftters


I saw these polishes at Urban Outifitters and immediately had to have them all. They are called beaded polishes and my assumption is that they are meant to have the caviar look with one step.


The names are rather bland being blue beaded, fucshia beaded, dark purple beaded and silver beaded. BUT......... ok, to start with, isnt fuchsia spelled that way? with the h before the s?And its a dark purple, its not a fuchsia colour. And the dark purple is a light purple shade! So yeah, not feeling the misspelled names at all.


Now as for the formula, its TERRIBLE. This "fucshia" one is the worst. Its a thick goopy mess that applies terribly. It applies patchy and when you try to smooth it out it just pulls and drags. The dry time was terrible and it was a BITCH to take off. I mean, picture a problematic Lippmann glitter polish, and then multiply that by 4 and you have the impossibility of removal that these are.

The texture itself is pretty though. Take the new feather polishes and replace the micro bar glitter with micro round glitter and you have the texture. The look I love, though I am unlikely to EVER wear these again!


Each one of these polishes is swatched with only one coat on the left, and three coats on the right.



The following two are a little thinner and the formula not as bad as the above two but still not at all good.
