Cheeky Chat Me Up Nail Paint - Candy Shop


Cheeky Chat Me Up Nail Paint – Candy Shop

I received this in my December glossybox.

As colours go this is not one I would personally choose; I  am not a bubblegum pink kind of girl but that is one of the joys of glossybox you get to experiment. Unfortunately this time round the experiment did not pay off.

I found the colour was very flat despite the metallic sheen within the pot, it made my skin look a funny colour almost brining out a blue hue that I didn’t know I had, as for formulation it left a streaky cheap look on my nail. I applied 2 coats as I do with all nail varnish as I feel that is a fair test; in my opinion you would probably need 3-4 coats to get an even coverage.

The brush is short and dumpy which led to a lot of excess around the edge of my nails and I had to spend more time cleaning my skin around my nail than I did painting them. In its favour I got on better with this brush than I did with the Ciate brush which is of a similar style.

Overall I did not like this product at all and wouldn’t be bothered if I tried it again; I will probably give this to me 11 year old niece who will appreciate the colour more and may find it easier using a chunkier brush whilst learning to paint her own nails.

By for now
