Filthy Gorgeous London | Swatches


Rosey Posey | Minx | Tea Bird

Filthy Gorgeous London is a nail polish brand that up untill lately I'd heard very little about. The polishes are made without Toluene, Formaldehyde and DBP, and have a long wearing chip resistant pro-formula. I was sent 3 colours to try out so heres some swatches.


Rosey Posey*

Rosey Posey is bright and in your face, definately not one for the faint hearted. Its neon and clashes perfectly with all the mint clothing I seem to be wearing lately. As with all neons, once dry it has an almost matte finish. I'm not a fan of matte nails but look how glossy it is after a slick of top-coat. It dried unbelievably quick, applied evenly and didnt have that 'gappy' look after the first coat that all other neons seem to have. 


Minx*

Check out how glossy that colour is! I didnt use top coat on Minx or Tea Bird for these swatches. Minx is described as a Soft Cornflower Blue and is very similar to Leighton Denny The Heiress.


Tea Bird*

Tea Bird is a cool pastel Green, almost identical to the iconic Tiffany box. Again, the shine on this colour is just crazy. Possibly my fave out of the three.

All three are colours I would pick out for myself. The bottles are just the cutest, from the lace look design on the lids to the plectrum charm on each bottle. All three shades were brilliantly pigmented and opaque with two coats, (Minx and Tea Bird could get away with only one coat). The polish seems to almost apply itself, the formula for all three was on the thicker side and was a dream to apply.

Filthy Gorgeous Nail Polish can be purchased directly from the online boutique link, and are priced at £9.
 What do you think? Any shades you would recommend?
