Alright, so as promised, I actually took photos and prepared for some reviews to be done for certain products.
So First up, are the Etude house: Juicy Cocktail Gradient nail set.
Love the colours don't you!
Close up.
this was how the mint frappe turn out.
Notice only 2 gradient?
That is because the last layer which is of glitters are way too chunky.
they look super messy so I removed them after putting the glitter and redo my nails.
find that just two layer are much better.
REVIEW:
Colour: I like the colour pay off because they are really pretty AND you don't have to buy separate nail polishes to match one another to get the gradient.
However, quite disappointed with the one in mint frappe because the last colour glitter is just too chunky and
it makes everything so so messy, definitely wish the glitter are smaller.
Love violet is just perfect! sweet purple in colour~
Glitters are visible and of a good size!
Lasting : The nail polish last quite long..(2-close to3 weeks) no chipping and flaking of the polish. Usually when I use other Etude house nail polish they tend to chip after a week even with top coat.. But surprisingly these gradient sets don't. :)
But I was wondering if the durability is due to the numerous coats I have to applied to achieve the effect..
Price: SGD 9.90 per set( got it from Gmarket ). Which I think it is quite reasonable for 3 miniature bottles of polishes.
If you guys haven't been shopping on Gmarket or Qoo10, you are really 'SUA GU' okay. GO and DO it now.! If not it is really one of the biggest regret in your life.
Overall: 4/5 stars
Mini-guide
So now i'm just going to show you guys how to do the 3 tone gradient with Love Violet.
For those who are new or think that their nail painting skills are not good, try this. Easy.
First step: Number 1 polish. ( They actually labelled 1)
The colour is pretty sheer so I went ahead with two thick coats.
Check out JYJ's JEJUNG right at the back~
2nd: colour no 2.
Start off with the outer 2/3 of the nail.
Two coats as well.
The lighting just don't work with me.
And it is so dark probably because i did my nails at night..
Unlike the top three photos which the lighting is much brighter? because I took those in the afternoon..
I have this habit of painting my nails at night because it's always till then I felt bored and it just so happen that my nail polish are peeling as well..
they just get on my nerves.. haha
3rd: Colour no. 3
at the outer 1/3 of your nails. Try to blend the intersection/overlap of colour no. 2 and 3 with a little of colour 3.

then top off with your favourite top coat.
Personally suggest: Seche Vite top coat! :)
with seche vite, they look like gelish~
