I guess maybe the wait for another post was worth it because today I have something for you I'm really excited about. I had seen these Korean polishes on a few blogs and became enamored with them. So when I found a listing on eBay for 3 of them for $17 shipped I pounced on it. About $6 each is not much more than the price of drugstore polishes here. I'm such a dork; it excites me so much that with the internet we have access to products from other countries we never would have had before. I know a lot of people are against globalization, but hey, if it gets me cool nail polishes I'm all for it! I've heard these polishes referred to as "yogurt", but seeing as I can't read Korean, I'm not really sure what the name of the collection is. As far as I know the individual polishes aren't named either, but assigned numbers. The collection is numbers 81-85 and I have 81, 82, and 84 to show you today.
I was super happy not only with my polishes, but the packaging and the extras. The box has a honeycomb pattern with bees and flowers and has a chat bubble saying, "Bee happy!" I thought it was freakin' adorable. They also sent along a packet of body wash, Hello Kitty band aids, and a body scrubber cloth. I thought it was hilarious that the body wash says "Fruits water. Made in nature." on the front.
Here is the seller and listing I bought from. I recommend them just because I had such an awesome experience, but this seller seems to offer 4 of the polishes for an even cheaper price.
I read somewhere that these bottles are only 10 ml (and that seems about right).
For all polishes I did 3 coats with no base or top coat. There is still a teeny bit of visible nail line after 3 coats but not enough to bother me. I want to layer these to not run out so quickly, but I like the squishy look from wearing them alone.

Use with water and bubble!
Oh god I love the packaging on some Asian products - some of the SkinFood stuff is SO cute. I love all these polishes - and that looks like a much better amount of Glitter than Whimsical has!
ReplyDeleteI don't consider myself a packaging ho at all, but the Asian stuff gets me EVERY TIME. I need to stalk eBay for more stuff. And yeah, way more glitter than Whimsical!
DeleteI've looked at these before and had forgotten about them and now you've reminded me I really must have them, thanks for sharing, they are lovely x
ReplyDeleteI looked on eBay a few times before I found them. I'm so glad I got them!
DeleteDoh! Just purchased the set of four! Hee hee x
ReplyDeleteYay! You're gonna love them!
DeleteLMFAO! Water and bubbles!! Um, these are super cool!!! I need them in my life!
ReplyDeletePS
I keep meaning to write back to you!!!! I promise, its on its way!
You do need them! I was thinking that they would look great on you. And don't worry about it, I'm terrible at responding, too. Haha. :)
DeleteHaha, that scrubber package is hilarious and adorable! I like the blue polish a lot. I've never had the DL one or Whimsical, but this one is very cute (I'm not usually a jelly-ish polish person either)
ReplyDeleteYou need them! I liked the extras almost as much as the polishes. I would say that the Revlon or DL isn't even worth it. I can find a redeeming quality for most polishes, but I didn't like Whimsical at all.
DeleteThe extras are a lovely touch. I like when sellers add them, just to show they care about their customers.
ReplyDeleteThere is a small store here in NYC that sells Korean makeup. The brand is called The Face Shop. I want to buy a few things, but I always forget to go when I have a little extra cash. :P
I don't NEED extras, but it is always fun when they send them.
DeleteOooh, you should go to that store! I bet they have some really cool stuff.
These are really cool. They kind of remind me of the Nails Inc Sprinkles collection, but the glitter seems a little shinier.
ReplyDeleteI had been wanting the Nails Inc polishes, but didn't want to pay that much for them and was hoping these would fill the void. Well, I still want the Sprinkles collection, but I love these just as much!
DeleteI was going to say they remind me of Sprinkles. But, Nails Inc didn't have a green one!
DeleteInteresting! I really love the colors!

I died when I read: use with water and bubble!
ReplyDeleteThe polishes are lovely! I love Asian brand cosmetics, especially when they have English translations. ;D
Neat polishes! I love ordering stuff from Korean brands, they have such neat things and I find you often end up getting fun little extras! I had a good laugh at use with water and bubble as well but it cracks me up even more that they randomly capitalized "use". USE!!!!! with water and bubble~~~ lol!
ReplyDeleteThese are cool! They look milky and glittery at the same time. Awesomely unusual combo.
