Beauty Swellness: Physician’s Formula Endless Color Custom Nail Polish Trios

May 1, 2013

Now in stores are these cute nail polish trios from Physicians  Formula. The trio of polishes snap together (sorta like Lego for mani junkies) and come in eight diferent sets, ranging from Bare It All (white, nude and a pale pink) to bolder ones (such as the deep blue and purples of Trendsetter Chic). Mix and match ‘em for endless possibilities. Throw in some nail art action and the possibilities truly are endless. I’d impress you with some mathematical equation to demo the endlessness, but considering I need the TipQuick app to calculate tipping in restaurants, well, that just ain’t gonna happen!

It’s the blue from Fashion Icon I’ve got on here (And yes, my nails are long. “Riri long,” according to one of my besties. They’ve since been filed down a bit). I liked the consistency of the polish, but did find the short cap/brush a bit difficult to use since holding the brush so close to my nail created shadows on my nail bed, and with my hand so close to the nail I was polishing, I felt like my hand was blocking my view of my nail. As for chippage, I can’t comment as I had it on for less than 24 hours (I did my nails at 2AM, yes, that’s what I do when I’m feeling night owl-y, and then I had a manicure appointment the next aft — so many manis and polishes, too little time!

(This blue, though? Fun, non? It totally reminds me of the Peacock Blue pencil from the Laurentien colour pencils I had in elementary school? Remember those? My favourite was Cerise, which I used to draw the red pouts on my stick figure drawings — it seems I was always a fan of red lipstick!).

Five of the eight trios are above (from left: Fashion Icon, Treat Yourself, California Goddess, Trendsetter Chic and Smokin’ Haute). Which is your fave? I think I want to try the orangey red from the Cali Goddess trio next!
