NYX Advanced Salon Formula Nail Polish: Review & Swatches
NYX is one of my favorite nail polish brands when it comes to nail polishes. It suits my nails perfectly and I have been using it for abut 6 years now. However, it is very difficult to locate their products in my country, since they are not launched here so very often. Either I have to wait for any online website to provide them in my country or have to pay more than it's cost to have it.

Let's review the two shades I have!
Cost
Original cost is Rs. 350 but I got it for Rs. 190 each for 15ml
NYX Advanced Salon Formula Nail Polish: Soft Teal (NPS 191)
Soft Teal is a soft teal shade as the name suggest. You can get a smooth sheer teal color on your nails with one swipe and a perfect teal with two coats.
It is a very elegant and pretty color which can be your perfect beach day or pool party shade.
Application
Application was smooth all thanks to the very nice applicator brush NYX polish has. It is made of very fine hairs, almost like animal hair (Not really) giving elegant and gentle strokes.
Everything is perfect about the polish except one thing. It takes forever to dry!
Shelf Life
9 Months as mentioned on the pack but I use them until the polish is done or I get bored of the color.
Ingredients
I used this polish as base on my cute panda nail art!
NYX Advanced Salon Formula Nail Polish: Heaven NPS 106
Application
Application was smooth all thanks to the very nice applicator brush NYX polish has. It is made of very fine hairs, almost like animal hair (Not really) giving elegant and gentle strokes.
Heaven 106 is very sheer being a french manicure polish. It took me 3-4 shades for that perfect smooth off white look. Since it takes really long to dry, you will want to wait a little between coats before applying another one.
NYX Cosmetics is certified and acknowledged by organizations, such as PETA, as a cruelty-free brand. We are committed to producing 100% cruelty-free cosmetics. This gives me one more reason to love these polishes.

A small blunder (Maybe?)
Have a look at these bottles. Aren't they looking similar to NYX ones. Except the cap, everything is so damn similar to the NYX ones. I hope this one is a mistake ( a very big one), stealing the design. The bottoms of the bottles are slightly different. Lippmann’s has a lower and more rounded ridge groove on hers. And obviously the labeling is very different. The rounded edges on the top/sides of the bottles are slightly different which you can see from this angle. The most obvious different between the two bottles are the caps. NYX is longer and cylindrical and glossy with their logo on top.
Over all, these are a must try. NYX has a mind blowing range of nail polishes for every occassion and season. You can get them in gift sets, combo packs or as single bottles in your nearest store or online stores.
Lots of Love!!!
XOXO
