If you guys follow me on fb or maybe twitter you'll know that I'm in Taiwan now for the summer vacation
I'm kinda busy, or should I say....it's so much fun here that I don't have time to write a blog....(honestly the second one is true...haha)
Since I got back in Taiwan, I did not shop a lot....at least...not like the past few years..
in the past few years I went really crazy with shopping....like money isn't an issue at all
But this year I took an eye on my money...I say to myself: DO NOT easily pick up money at the ATM!
Despite on the fact that I was saving money....I still secretly shop....haha
I ordered some nail polishes this time
When I came back to Taiwan, I didn't take any of my nail polishes with me, because I thought it wasn't necessary....but then, I noticed how lonely my nails look without clothes on...
So I decided to order nail polishes from this Taiwanese brand called ŰNT
The brand became famous in Taiwan because of their medical-grade skincare line
They believe that all people deserve healthy and comfortable skin equally, but those skin care products should not necessarily be a luxury
So UNT launched their medical-grade skincare line at an affordable price
"UNT" is named after an abbreviation that's taken from the word "Untitled" because they believe that beauty cannot be represented by one verbal expression alone.
UNT is sold in 91 countries, making it Taiwan's no.1 online skincare brand.
I knew this brand only for 3 years, first I noticed UNT is because their nail polish line, they claim that even pregnant women can wear these nail polishes, it will not have any harm to the baby.
I purchased their products last year for the first time.
I got 2 nail colors, which were golden glitter nail polish and silver glitter nail polish.
The quality was great, the glitters were really pretty but not easily to take off
This time I tried to order "normal" polishes
The nail polishes cost NTD199 a bottle, that's about 5 euro's each
Let's get on what I ordered this time
I ordered a set and 2 separate colors
The set is called "White bunny on moving carousel" (What a funny name) and it's from the newest collection called:"My quintessential self"
The slogan is: 18 colors, 18 personae, who do you want to be?
Every color has a name and a description of the personae.
I think it's very special, creative and fun.
A set comes with 6 nail polishes
Every time when they launch a collection, normally with 18 colors, they will distribute the 18 colors into 3 sets of 6 colors
My set comes in a cute box, that opens like a drawer.in the front of the drawer part, it has a pink bow and when you pull it, you'll see the six nail polishes that come with the set
This set contains:(from left to right)
MQ055 Ravishing Leah- I'm bad but irresistible
MQ090 Shopaholic Jessica- What I can or can't solve in real life, I solve it through retail therapy!
MQ030 Nostalgic Emma- I long for the past, the memories, and the nonexistent
MQ065 Eloquent Sacha- I have the power to hear the unspoken and speak the nonwords.
MQ010 Carefree Natalie- I am a nomad. Everyday is a new journey.
MQ035 Chic Emilie- I wear my 4 inches stilettos when I take out the garbage, I like to be in style at all hours of the day! (FUNNY)
The two separate colors came in a box like this:
The first color GD030 were from the grand destiny of Elie Ledoux collection(Slogan: 18 colors, 18 adventures)
GD030 Producer's muse- the one who can always perform the role no one can.
The third from right
And I also got PR025 from the pink fiction collection(Slogan: Paint your pink fantasies with 16 exhilarating shades)
PR025 Magician's hat- A rabbit? A dove? I want my Mr. Right!
I got the nail care set for free by purchasing the rabbit set.
It contains 1x prelude base coat, 1x finale top coat and 1x awaken nail polish thinner
The base coat and top coat sucks....I don't even want to give them an other chance
I tried to apply, base coat-color-top coat
but it just wouldn't dry..no matter how many time I spend on waiting for them to dry
It totally ruined my day=_= I had to scrub my nail polish off in the metro because I got so irritated by the thick and bubbled nail polish coat on my nails.
Regardless of how irritated I got from the base and top coat
I still want to give the color nail polishes a second chance
This time I am satisfied
The nail polish dries in a normal pace, even if I put on the second layer, no bubbles appeared.
The brush is convenient, not too thick, not too thin.
The consistency is great, not too watery, not too creamy.
The pigmentation is nice, the color that appears on the nail is almost exactly the same as the color in the bottle.
Moreover, UNT nail polishes do not have the strong stinky scent that the traditional nail polishes have...
at least not when the polish dries on your nails, it has a light perfume scent.
Unlike some nail polishes with that really strong alcoholic scent that stays on your nails for more than 1 day and still smells really strong
Top coat was 100% unnecessary....The color appears shiny on the nails without putting anything on top of it....
I think I can throw the free topcoat away?
Honestly, I really don't care about it....It was free anyway?!
I also got the rococo mascara eyeliner for free because purchased over NTD1500
The mascara looks like this:
I will write a review on it when I have tried it, so stay tuned
All in all, I really like the nail polishes in general...(except the base and top coat.)
I think the nail polishes are worth the price....
The great thing about UNT is that it ships worldwide for free
But the price on the international site is a little bit more expensive than the price on the Taiwanese regular site.
And the weird thing is...it's not even free shipping in Taiwan...only for purchase that is more than NTD1500 has free shipping...(Not that the shipping costs are expensive or so...it's only 1,2 euro's..haha but still weird)
