Forever 21 Nail Polishes Swatches & Review

Random trip to a Forever 21 store left me with these two very versatile yet not boring nail polish shades: Tuape and Copper Glitter. All nail polished are 2.8$ (add ~6-10% sales tax), which is quite cheap. I didn't have very high expectations, so I had no idea, I was up for a treat!



 First, Taupe is rosy brown color with slight golen shimmer. The shimmer is finely milled and not very noticable, just a hint of it (See the pictures). Damn it, that color was opaque! It had perfect liquid non gritty consistency, self-leveled and covered beautifully! You see one coat of it in the pictures.





Although I rarely stop on 1 coat, I went ahead and put the copper glitter on top.
The glitter has small and large hexagonal glitter in a clear base. It is beautiful!

What amazed me the most is the medium thick consistency and glossy smooth finish! Glitters are notorious of drying with a non-even gritty surface, but not this one!


I always apply a base coat and fast drying top coats during my manicures, however they prolong the life of my manicure only for so long, 2-3 days max. The rest still depends on the nail polish itself.
So F21 nail polishes looked chip free for 6 days! Rare shades from China Glaze, Orly or OPIs lines in my collection can provide such longevity!

All in all, I'm amazed and confused. How come such a steal costs only 3$?
Is it 3 free, as China Glaze, Orly, Zoya & OPI or not?
I you have any opinions or information on Forever 21 Nail Polish, please let me know!
