Mason Polish - Review

Review of some polish I bought myself from Simply Mason Candles on etsy. 
As always I bought these myself, I wasn't given the polish nor was I compensated any other way.

Right then !  On to the review part.

Their ordering and product shots leave a little something to be desired, They could use a bit better product descriptions and if you want fancy things these probably aren't for you. Prices are super reasonable full size price 5.00usd, mini price 2.50usd so I took a chance and I am glad I did. 

The non glitter polishes were fairly shimmery so I wouldn't call them a creme, they are not sheer and are opaque in about 2 thin coats, first coat is bit streaky but do not let that scare you, it will even out with second coat. 


First off Color number 3 Emerald, very shimmery deep green almost has a grey-ish undertone went on smoothly, I do not know what it is but I do love this color.  
Number 3 - Emerald - 1 coat over white, 2 coats on own and 1 coat over black

 Number 4  Sapphire I wouldn't call it sapphire, really, but I do not know what I would call it, has an almost purple undertone, very shimmery as well.
Number 4 - Sapphire - 1 coat over white, 2 coats on own and 1 coat over black

Number 10 which was named True Green very shimmery green in the bottle but it only really looked true green over black. Looked sort of a darker minty green over white and on its own. 
Number 10 - True Green - 1 coat over white, 2 coats on own and 1 coat over black






The glitters were all very fine glitter, applied smoothly and evenly, dried quickly and the texture wasn't very rough at all. I think these might even be cool to layer over each other and make your own mix :).


Number 90 called White Glitter which it wasn't, I was bit disappointed that it wasn't an opaque white but this iridescent glitter is very very lovely on the nail. I think it is close or a dupe for several other polishes I own I may explore that more later.
Number 90 - White Glitter - 1 coat over white, 2 coats on own and 1 coat over black

Number 99  Black glitter is very fine black glitter it isn't really shiny like a metallic but I don't think it is quite matte either. Looks bit like pepper on the nails and I must admit I was but surprised by my liking this one so much it isn't something I would normally buy. 
Number 99 - Black Glitter - 1 coat over white, 2 coats on own and 1 coat over black

Number 87 Holo glitter. I have some other things like this in my collection it might also be a close dupe and again might explore that bit later. Its a silvery holographic glitter I think it would be awesome for some galaxy nails maybe.
Number 87 - Holo Glitter - 1 coat over white, 2 coats on own and 1 coat over black

Number 96 Purple glitter Its a shiny metallic purple. very pretty on, also think it would be great for some galaxy nails. 
Number 96 - Purple Glitter - 1 coat over white, 2 coats on own and 1 coat over black


So that is end of that I am fairly happy with my purchases here I would definitely buy from them again. If you are looking for something simple from an Indie maker I'd definitely recommend this one.
