Hi there everyone! today I have a little comparison for you. I was asked recently what a good metallic red would be, and at first I was like.... I don't think I have many metallic red polishes...... but then i went to my helmers.... and yep I do have a few. So I thought I would share what I came up with.
Metallic red is a hard colour to produce. you will see most metallic /foil colours seem to be silver or gold and rarely dark colours. I have to say tho 2 brands, Pretty Serious Cosmetics and Klean color stood out to me as the top 2 who had some great metallic polishes in red.
Ok so lets check out the swatches.

As you can see by far Klean Color Jewelry red was the most metallic/foil like polish. I picked it up at a $2 shop a while back but I have seen it about still. Pretty Serious Santa's sunburn is also an awesome metallic red tho it does go toward the orange red hue.
If you would like any other comparisons with polish, and if i have it in my collection I am happy to do more of these posts. just leave a comment.
Until next time......
Oh wow, those Kleencolors are fabulous! Where do you get them here? I've only ever found them on ebay :\ I love a good red and I own quite a few, but the closest to a "metallic" red would be my Essence "A Hint of Love" and my Skin Food nail vita "pink red" re-102 (although that's more of a... frosted red? maybe? IDK, but it's quite dark and pretty gorgeous). I must try and track down some kleencolours <3
ReplyDeletehey emma, i got some from hot dollar for $3.99 and the others from just one of those basic $2.00 shops for $2.99. you can also get them from http://beautyjoint.com/?route=product/category&path=4 as well. they are american but the price is super cheap and the shipping is fairly reasonable as long as you keep it under 2 lbs.
