In my goodie bag from my visit to ASOS back in August {post} I was lucky enough to get a Pixi nail varnish. I had never used anything Pixi before and had heard of them maybe a handful of times online. I was super excited to try out the varnish and see if I'd fall in love with a new nail varnish brand. I have to say I was a little disappointed.
Retailing on their website for £8 Pixi varnishes are a little more pricey than what I'd normally pay for a Varnish, I was just glad mine was free and I didn't waste money on it!
One coat, three coats, three coats and top coat |
Pros
- The brush gives a great coverage
- Lasted three days before chipping
- Great for Halloween
Cons
- Price £8 is over priced
- Needed 3 layers
- Went gloopy when I went over streaks
- Shows streaks
- Little too dark and the shade isn't very me
Overall, I'd have to say I was more disappointed in the shade, maybe if I found a shade that is a little more 'me' I'd like the brand a little more.
Have you tried Pixi before? Would you recommend I try a different shade?
Shame the formula isn't great as I really rate Pixi. It is a lovely colour though!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried a Pixi nail varnish, and after your review I don't think I will be! I hate nail varnishes that go streaky, I really do love that colour though, I may have to find an alternative!

Thank you for your honest review, I wouldn't wear black every day, you are right, it is perfect for halloween x
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this brand before, but I'm loving this colour. Perfect for this time of year!
ReplyDeleteaww thats so disappointing that it was so expensive for so little coverage .. it wouldn't last long if overtime you used it you needed a minimum of 3 coats :-(
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this brand - if I use nail varnish I need a quick drying one. This seems pricey and not that good which is a shame. Kaz x
ReplyDeletenever heard of this brand before, but £8 is to high for me, especially since you have to put on 3 coats
ReplyDeleteOh that is a shame it is streaky and needs three coats, I for one wouldn't be bothered x
ReplyDeleteThat colour is great for Halloween, a little pricey for me though.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't be bothered applying that many coats. I rarely get time to apply 1! x
ReplyDeleteI actually really like how it looks with just one coat! I've used Pixi polishes before and found them to be a little hit and miss though

I've never heard of this brand before.. But thank you for writing an honest review! I sometimes find the colours can change the consistency of a nail polish even if it is the same brand/formula.
ReplyDeleteShame this one didn't hit the spot really. Good that it lasted 3 days though, that has to be a plus
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of them before, but at that price tag, I'd be put off given Your review! Thank you honey xx
