I Am Disappoint - Deceiving Polish

Quick post today, just wanted to share a polish disappointment that I purchased the other day. I was in Winners and found these cool looking glitter polishes from Jessica I hadn't heard of before, Glitterati and Platinum Wishes. After some research online I found out that these are from Jessica's latest holiday collection, Glamarama. Glitterati appeared to have duochrome, colour shifting abilities, the same found in flakes so I was sold! Below are some photos I found online of the two, I could not take a decent photo of the bottles without proper daylight. You can clearly see the colour shift in Glitterati around the edges of the bottle.

Platinum Wishes did not have a duochrome colour shift like the previous polish, however I still liked it in the bottle:

I got home all excited to test them out on my swatch wheel annnnd...

They sucked :( in the bottle they looked so perfectly packed with glitter but one layer is so sparse. Shown on my wheel is one coat of Platinum Wishes on the left and two coats of Gliterati on the right. Not very exciting at all. I will be returning these to Winners the next time I am there, very deceiving Jessica :(

    Wow - they look like they would be great looking at the bottle - I tend to carry a clean sheet of computer printer paper with me when I know I am going to be somewhere that sells polish. I use that to put a little dab of shades on to see if they have a decent formula, are thin or whatever. Some places let me use their scotch tape dispenser at the counter and use the area between the tape roll and the cutter to put little dabs of polish there and you then can put your finger under the tape and see what that color will look like on your skin tone. That also then lets you do a little swatch to see if the formula is good or not. Good thing you can return these...that's a huge miss for Jessica.

      I am sort of against trying polishes out before buying them, but I have been offered tape now and then to test. guess I was just too excited from what I saw in the bottle! Usually if my boyfriend it with me I will have him look up swatches on his phone lol. It must have slipped my mind this time.

    If I saw them, I would have brought them home too by the way they looked. Would Winners take them back though?

      For sure, I have never had issues with returns at Winners. I returned them yesterday with no problems.

    I felt the same way when I picked these up a few weeks ago too! They look so magical in the bottle and then.... it's like a slap in the face, isn't it? I'm glad you can return yours - the place where I got mine doesn't accept returns, so I guess I'll wear them over really dark colors only.
