Metallic Venus - W7, swatch, multichrome madness ;)

I ordered this polish last summer and used it quite soon after I'd bought it. But I haven't showed it here in the blog, and I think a reason could be that if I would have shown it immediately after I'd worn it you'd seen about hundreds of photos in this post, now I've restrained my self to "only" show eight hand shots. And that was so hard, because I really love this polish, it's mesmerizing.

I've labeled it as duochrome in this post but you'll see that it's rather multichrome and I could actually see all the colors that it showed in the bottle. So from greenish teal, to blue, to purple, to cerise pink and all the way to copper/yellow, all depending on the light. I couldn't seriously stop looking at my nails.


And in some light it took the color of above, looking teal/blue.
 This time I've layered it over black and I'm pretty sure I used 3 thin coats of Metallic Venus. But next time I'll definitely try it on it's own. I found the formula to be a bit thin but still controllable and the finish seems glass like even though I'm wearing SV on this shots.


 Above you can almost see the yellowish shimmer at the edges of the nails but I must say that it was almost impossible to capture. I actually got one shot where it shows clearly but that one was so out of focus that I skipped it.
And of some inexplainable reason this was my only picture of the bottle, but at least you got it. :)

This is from a whole duochrome collection from W7, I actually got all of them but this is the first of the whole collection I'm showing. I must say I really like all of my W7 polishes and the price doesn't make the worse either. ;) It's great budget brand from UK.

Do you have any of them and what do you think of this? :)

  1. Det är ett jättefint lack och jag gillar också den kollektionen. Det är bra duokromer och som du säger, bra priser. Metallic Mars är min favorit.

    1. Ja, verkligen! Tycker det är fint att de finns just till bra priser så att det inte bara är de absolut dyraste märkena som man kan hitta sånt här fint. Om jag skulle gissa så skulle jag faktiskt ha gissat att den skulle va din favorit. Den påminner ju en smula om OPI - MoLM. Nu kan jag inte minnas om jag testat Metallic Mars men blir bra sugen! :D

  2. Det var ett superhäftigt lack! Jag förstår att det måste varit svårt att välja ut bilder till ett så mångfacetterat lack, själv har jag alltid jättesvårt att välja ut vilka bilder som jag ska ha med :)

    1. Ja visst är det! Ja, håller med om att det alltid är svårt att välja bilder och det är lätt att man tar för "många" känns det som. Men är alltid extra svårt med duochroma känns det som! :)

  4. What a gorgeous polish!! Really cool douchrome effect on this one! :D
    I've got one polish from this collection. The blue one, Metallic Neptune (you know the one that broke in thousand pieces when I ordered from fragrancemad). But I haven't tried it yet (maybe I went a bit off it because of the mess it caused ;)).
    I hope to get some more W7 in London in a couple of week! :D

    1. Yes, I remember..that was such a mess! bleh :( I'm actually wearing Blue Neptune right now and it's actually great in many ways so I'm sure you'll like it! Hope you'll find a lot of awesome nail polishes, maybe more W7's in London! Must be possible to search out in which stores they're found in! :D

  5. Har inte ett enda lack ur den där kollektionen, men önskar mig fler än detta som du visar här.

    1. Åh, tycker du borde skaffa! Kan tänka mig att du skulle gilla väldigt många av dem om jag tänker på den typ av lack du brukar visa. :)
