AQmore Vogue

In a previous post, I featured an amazing water-based nail polish that I bought from the Younique Nails website. This website goes by the name Uniqso now! Not only did they change their name, they also extended their collection - water-based nail polishes, nail art related products, colour lenses and many more. Make sure you check them out!

Now, let's take a look at AQmore water-based nail polish Vogue:

Vogue is a beautiful mauve with irregular shaped silver glitter particles. Some glitter particles reminded me of those tiny scrushed sea shells that are used for nail art. The formula was easy to work with, but I couldn't smoothen the glitters over the nails. So after 2 coats, the colour reached opacity but the surface of the nails was rather 'rough'.

Luckily I could fix this by using one coat of AQmore topcoat and that is how it looked like:

Have a wonderful one!!!

Magical AQmore polish: Glaring

Today, my parcel arrived which was sent by Younique Nails. Younique Nails is an online store which sells a large variety of nail related products. The eyecatcher in the large assortment for me was the AQmore nail polishes.

Younique Nails offers THE solution for beautiful nails without staining: AQmore polishes!

AQmore water-based nail polish consists of 50% water and 50% other natural ingredients. It's a nice alternative for lacquer-based nail polishes, as AQmore not only protects the nails but is also environment friendly. Moreover, AQmore is chemical free and meets international SGS and FDA testing. Do visit their website for more information or to take a look at their products.

I ordered 2 bottles of AQmore polishes: Gold Sand - white with golden particles and Glaring - mauve with golden shimmer. Immediately after opening the package, I had to try them out, so I picked Glaring to be the first one.

It was like magic! I have swatched Avien Alix #160 before, which shows 2 different colours depending on the number of coats. AQmore Glaring does the same thing, but unfortunately the effect does not last too long. Take a look at the picture below.

All 3 fingers were swatched with one coat of the SAME polish - AQmore Glaring, but you can clearly distinguish 2 different colours. Let me explain the magic tric: when you layer one coat of Glaring, it will show the pink version with golden shimmer colour, as shown on the right 2 fingers. But as time passes, it will turn into red with golden shimmer, like the one on the left. The colour on the bottle can only be seen a few seconds after the application, then it will change into red. Magical, right?

Another great thing of AQmore polishes is that it can be easily peeled off, so there is no need for polish removers. Just soak your fingers in warm water for 30 seconds, then you'll be able to peel the layer off.

Younique Nails is now having a promotion: $3 off!!! The promotion starts 7th Feb - 7th March 2011. This is your opportunity to try water-based AQmore nail polishes! 

Have a nice one!!!
