Hey Beauties!

Avon Gel Finish line already has 15 shades. I've reviewed three of those shades here. Recently they've added 6 new shimmery shades, which are just gorgeous. The range is definitely colorful and spring inspired. 

These 6 shades are called: Sheer Shimmer, Nude Shimmer, Coral Shimmer, Pink Shimmer, Berry Shimmer and Lavender Shimmer. 

In each nail polish is 10 ml of product and the regular price is 6.50€, but currently you can get them for 3.50€ (here). 

Avon nail polishes have the usual square type of glass bottle with plastic black top. The brush is regular straight cut and long enough to make the application easy. 

All the shades have small silver shimmer in them, which then reflects off light and makes nails look really shiny. Shimmer is small and is not difficult to take off. Sure, you'll need a bit more time taking it off, especially if you apply thicker coats, but it's still nothing like glittery top coats. 

Let's see all the shades swatched. On bottom photos I show you how nail polish looks like with one coat on the left and with two coats on the right. 

Sheer Shimmer

Shimmery pastel pink.

Nude Shimmer

Shimmery light brown nude. It almost looks a bit olive toned on my skin. 

Coral Shimmer

Shimmery orange coral.

Pink Shimmer

Shimmery bright pink.

Berry Shimmer

Shimmery darker berry pink.

Lavender Shimmer

Shimmery darker lavender violet. 

Formula is just thick enough as well as thin enough to apply with ease. I will say they are more on the thicker creamy side. They are well pigmented, although one application may not cover entire nail, especially with lighter shades. I always apply two coats anyway. They also dry fairly quickly. 

These nail polishes are base, color and top coat all in one. I've been using them without any base and top coat and they really last well. On me I can wear them for 3 days without chipping, which is a miracle for my weak nails. They also have a very  shiny gel like finish and the shine stays on the nails for days. You definitely don't need to use any base or top coat with these, which is a real plus.

I am seriously impressed with these nail polishes. Mostly by the fact that I don't need base and top coat and that they last well on my nails, but also because I think the shades are very pretty with the added shimmer, which is still not hard to take off. All shades are pretty, but my favorite shade of them all is Sheer Shimmer. It's the most gorgeous pastel for spring. I also really like Nude Shimmer and Berry Shimmer.

Avon Gel Finish linija že vsebuje 15 odtenkov. Jaz sem ocenila tri odtenke tukaj. Pred kratkim so tej liniji dodali še 6 novih svetlikajočih odtenkov, ki so čudoviti. Linija je zagotovo barvita in črpa inspiracijo iz pomladi. 

Ti novi odtenki se imenujejo: Sheer Shimmer, Nude Shimmer, Coral Shimmer, Pink Shimmer, Berry Shimmer and Lavender Shimmer. 

V vsakem laku je 10 ml izdelka in redna cena je 6.50€. Trenutno jih lahko kupite za 3.50€ tukaj. 

Avonovi laki imajo običajno kvadratasto obliko stekleničke s platičnim črnim pokrovom. Čopič je dokaj standarden, ravno odrezan in dovolj dolg, da je nanos enostaven.

Vsi odtenki imajo v barvi srebrne majhne bleščice, ki odsevajo svetlobo in naredijo nohte izredno sijoče. Bleščice so res majhne in jih ne teko odstranjevati. Seveda boste potrebovali malo več časa za odstranjevanje, kar pa se vseeno ne more primerjati z bleščičastimi nadlaki.

Sheer Shimmer

Bleščičasta pastelno roza.

Nude Shimmer

Bleščičasta svetlo rjava nude. Na moji polti izgleda kot da ima oliven podton.

Coral Shimmer

Bleščičasta oranžno koralna.

Pink Shimmer

Bleščičasta živo roza.

Berry Shimmer

Bleščičasta temno jagodičasto roza.

Lavender Shimmer

Bleščičasto temno sivka vijolična.

Formula lakov je ravno prav tekoča in ravno prav gosta za lahek nanos. Prej bi rekla, da so bolj kremasto gosti. Zdijo se mi dobro pigmentirani, čeprav z enim nanosom ne boste prekrile nohta, sploh pri svetlih odtenkih. Jaz vedno nanesem dva nanosa z vsakim lakom. Tudi sušijo se precej hitro.

Ti laki so podlaga, barva in nadlak v enem. Sama sem jih nosila brez kakršnega koli podlaka ali nadlaka in so se res dobro obdržali na nohtih. Na meni so zdržali 3 dni brez luščenja, kar je majhen čudež za moje krhke nohte. Imajo tudi lep sijoč gel finiš, ki ostane na nohtih. Vsekakor z temi laki ne potrebujeti podlaka ali nadlaka, kar je prednost. 

Sem zelo navdušena nad temi laki. Najbolj zaradi destva, da z njimi ne uporabljam podlaka ali nadlaka in vseeno ostanejo na mojih nohtih nedotaknjeni in tudi zato, ker so odtenki zaradi majhnih bleščic res lepi ter jih vseeno ni težko odstraniti. Vsi odtenki so lepi, ampak moj najljubši odtenek je Sheer Shimmer. Je čudovit pastelen odtenek za pomlad. Zelo všeč sta mi tudi Nude Shimmer in Berry Shimmer.

Hey Beauties!

We're starting Avon nail polish reviews with the most classic gel finish from their Gel Finish range.

The Gel Finish range has total of 25 shades that you can choose from. The shades include neutral beige and brown shades as well as most of the colorful shades. The only shades that are missing are green. There could also be a wider range of blues, since I know so many like blue nail polishes. I would also add a classic black.

The nail polishes regular price is 6.50€, but now you can get them 1 for 4.90€ and 2 for 6.90€ here. If you've been wanting to try Avon nail polishes, now it's the time. In each nail polish you get 10 ml of product.

Avon sent me three of their Gel Finish shades to try. They are Creme Brulee, Dazzle Pink and Red Velvet.

Avon Gel Finish Nail Enamel - Creme Brulee

Creme Brulee is a warm toned light nude shade. If I go for nude shades, this is what I go for. I don't like those that look almost brown or too skin like. I still want my nude to look light or lighter than my skin tone and a little more on the white side.

It's the least pigmented of all three nail polishes. That is probably because it is also the lightest. Lighter nail polishes are always less pigmented than darker. You need at least two coats for this one, maybe even three. It can be tricky to get an even application with this one.

Avon Gel Finish Nail Enamel - Dazzle Pink

Dazzle Pink is salmon pink. You know one of those that looks almost dirty pink and has coral undertone. It also has small silver almost white shimmer in it. The shimmer gives off a really nice sheen, when you're outside and the sun is shining. The shade is one of those pretty pinks, that is not really my style, but I know many would like.

It has good pigmentation, but because it's a light shade, you will need at least two coats to get it really opaque.

Avon Gel Finish Nail Enamel - Red Velvet

Red Velvet is that kind of ruby red shade, but almost looks like a metal shade. It has small shimmer in it, which makes it look like a liquid metal. It's very neutral rich red shade, perfect for any occasion.

This one is the most pigmented and pretty thick in consistency. It could be opaque in one thick coat, but I always use two.

Creme Brulee is very thin in consistency and pretty sheer, while Dazzle Pink is a lot thicker and more pigmented. Red Velvet is the thicker in consistency and very pigmented. My guess after trying these three is that the lighter the nail polish, the less pigmented and thinner. If you want to buy darker shades, they'll probably be thicker in consistency and also a lot more pigmented. Keep that in mind, when purchasing.

The finish of these is shiny, like I would expect from a range called Gel Finish. It should mimic that gel nails shine and I think it does. Avon nail polishes are in general not very long lasting on my nails, but I don't even want to state that, because obviously nothing stays on my nails. For example many rave about the long lasting Essie nail polishes, which last about a day on me. So, you know, this always depends, but on my weak nails they don't last particularly long, but they also don't chip the first day.

The brush is regular, straight cut.

Here you can see how pretty Creme Brulee looks like on my nails. This particular shade makes them look like fake nails, even my boyfriend said so.

Now exciting part. I have too many nail polishes as it is, so I'll be giving away three sets of two nail polishes. Here you can win this set of Avon Gel Finish in Red Velvet and Avon Fringe in Frayed Edges. All you have to do is fill the Rafflecopter down below. I'll email the winner.
