nyx asphalt
i adore nyx polishes, i don't have enough of them! the bottle shape is divine and the colors are really unique. asphalt is the perfect name for this guy, a black (almost greyish) jelly-like base color with mult-colored & sized glitter pieces. it really does look like asphalt haha, but way better because of the bling! but not too glitzy, a toned-down gal would feel comfortable rockin' this polish right along with us glitter-bombs. understated but totally hawt. this is 3 coats, no topcoat.
the second pic has more lamplight shining on it and you can see more of the jelly-like quality to the base. i la la love this polish! it really reminds me of sephora by opi's 212 but not brown based and smaller (?) glitter pieces. i think i like this one better tho, it's cheaper!

Great polish! The color looks great and the shimmer gives it a shine *.*
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy that you swatched this because I was just debating on whether I should add this color to my want list or not. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like this. Going on my next Cherry Culture shopping list for sure!
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to compile a list of these to try out! I have all KINDS of NYX products from when I did YT, but I never did try the polish, crazy right? This is going on my list for sure - it's HOT!
ReplyDeleteI need to add Asphalt to my wish list. Good luck on finding the right camera. I chose my camera based on the macro setting alone, and how close I could get to my NOTD.
ReplyDeleteThis has been on my "I want to see it swatched before I buy" list.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's really pretty and different. Definately going to buy this one.
It's hard for me to tell, but did this reach opaqueness on the third coat?
ainos2 ~ i would do 4 coats for max opaqueness, 3 still showed a bit of VNL on me. but i have seen other swatches of 2 that looked pretty opaque so...maybe my bottle was more jelly than others? you could layer it over a coat of black for a darker look too :)
ReplyDeleteGreat colour! I've never tried NYX polishes before, but they look really nice
ReplyDeleteThat one looks so good :D Multicolored glitters! What never seen that before I think :o Well I would say that's perfect for any party occasion :P
