Celestial Pearl is one of the Seventeen Rock Hard Couture Nail Effects, Seventeen's take on textured nail polish. There are four in the collection, Celestial Pearl is the lightest, a creamy white shade which is quite reminiscent of pearls.

Although I love the colour of the polish I'm not very impressed overall, these pictures are three fairly thick coats, I found the polish hard to get even and well spread which is unusual for textured polishes I have tried previously and the finish was quite porridge-y looking.

Annoyingly I also had quite bad chips and tipwear before I'd even worn the polish out of the house, my index finger looked ragged around the edges only a few hours after painting.

So although I love the colour and I am generally a fan of these shimmery textured polishes I am really not keen on Celestial Pearl. It could just be that I've been spoiled by the excellent Kiko Sugar Mats when it comes to texture polishes but I expect better than Seventeen's effort can offer.
Really interesting to see your swatches and opinion on this one, I've just posted about the very similar one that Barry M do. I actually wanted this one by 17 but they were out of stock so I had to get the Barry M one instead. This one looks a lot more chunky/textured than the Barry M one! It's a shame because 'Charm Bracelet', the gold 17 one, is actually really really good, very beautiful. Hope you like that one better! X x x
ReplyDeleteI'm going to look at your post right now, I love the colour of this one but it just didn't work for me so I'm wondering if I should try the Barry M version too and see if I like it better.
DeleteMaybe try your Seventeen one over white, that way you need less coats so it looks less 'chunky'! Although the Barry M one is fab too, if you do buy it! X x
DeleteI might give it a go over white, although any excuse to buy more polish I might just need to get the Barry M one. ;)
