Make Up Store Haul & Aqua Fix review

Hi there,

I had to refrain myself from buying more polishes on Christmas Eve, but HAD to get Make Up Store's Greta. I heard Greta this was comparable to China Glaze's OMG. I've been looking for OMG & Gosh holographic for AGES….. but I'm not prepared to spend £40+ each for them from eBay. When I went to Westfields- White City, my intentions was just to pick up Greta, but they had a promotion, which apparently was finishing on the day, it was 20% off all purchases. Of course, I couldn't help myself, as I had already refrained myself in Boots & Inglot. So I picked up Siw & the Aqua Fix as well, as I heard without it, the holo polishes does not look/work so good. For comparison, I applied a base coat and Make Up Store's Aqua Fix on the index finger, and just a base coat on the middle finger. I did not apply a top coat.


Make Up Store Greta- 2 coats


It doesn't show but I had bald spots on my middle finger. It was also quiet hard to apply on my middle finger. It kept dragging. I took a out of focus photo just so the bald spots on my middle finger were visible.





Can you see that? So it just goes to prove aqua fix is necessary. I love the formula, and found I achieved even coverage with 2 coats. Love it. 

I just did this post to review the Aqua Fix, hence my naked ring finger, messy application & no clean up. So I'll probably do a swatch post or NOTD with Greta, as it's gorgeous.  

Hope you guys enjoy and see you again soon.
