Hey,
this post is a review/swatch of two nail polishes that are pretty and cheap.
If you follow me on instagram (@nashitutorials) you might have seen a small review and swatches of this two nail polishes.
Cien - Tropical Red and Flamingo Pink
This nail polishes are by CIEN, (a LIDL brand, if you live in Europe, probably you know this supermarket). They are cheap, usually their price is 1,99€, but it was on sale, so it was 1,79€, which is really cheap, but just because it's cheap, doesn't mean it has to be bad, actually it lasts about one week, of course it depends on the nails, because each nail is different. The nail polish brushes are big and rounded, which is easier to apply the nail polish. I didn't apply a top coat.
Price: 1,99€ (1,79€ on sale)
Brush: big and rounded
Applying the nail polish: easy
Packing: it's simple and has the nail polish's name on it
Size: 11 ml
Lasts 36 months
Let's start with the Cien - Tropical Red
Cien - Tropical Red
This color is a red, but it has a little bit of orange and pink on it, it depends on the light, if it is sunlight/daylight or under a lamp, because of this, I think the "Tropical" on the nail polish's name suits well. What do you think? As you can see in the image above the nail polish bottle looks a little pinkish, the nails with the nail polish bottle red and the nails a little orange.
Besides that, the color is pretty.
I applied two coats of nail polish, but this color, one coat is good too, the next image shows you the difference of the nail polish without flash and flash and with 1 and 2 coats.
Cien - Tropical Red - 1 coat
Cien - Tropical Red - 2 coats
As you can see, there's no really difference between 1 and 2 coats.
As without flash and with flash, it's normal you see some differences, the color tends to be darker without flash and more orange with flash, but this color even without flash sometimes it looks orange and pink.
Now Cien - Flamingo Pink
Cien - Flamingo Pink
Look how pretty this color is! Actually, it reminds of a flamingo, don't you think? Again, the nail polish's name suits the color. This pink is a light pink/coral.
I applied two coats too, and in this color I see a little difference between 1 and 2 coats.
Cien - Flamingo Pink - 1 coat
Cien - Flamingo Pink - 2 coats
The two coats make the color more opaque, because the first coat you can see the nail a little bit.
The color is a little darker without flash, but it's pretty too.
