3 pastel pink nail polishes under $3!

I'll be comparing this 3 pastel pink polishes in this post.

From left, Golden Rose Paris nail lacquer in 219, The Face Shop Pk109, Winmax New York Light Color Nail Enamel in no. 11. 

How it looks in the bottle in real life is true to the first picture. But just like how you shouldn't judge a lipstick by its bullet, you shouldn't judge a nail color by how it looks in the bottle! 

 How it looks like on my nails.:) From left, Golden Rose 219, The Face Shop Pk107, Winmax New York no. 11. On my pinky finger (last) is just a transparent top coat.

I'm starting off with my favorite. The one from Winmax is a gorgeous peachy-y pink color when applied to the nails, and I absolutely love this color. It has a very smooth finish and is a breeze to apply. It is not very creamy or pigmented, so you'll need at least 3 coats for this. But for the price of only SGD$2 and the lovely color, I'd say this is a steal! :)

The nail polish from TheFaceShop is the most creamy and pigmented of the 3. In comparison, its formulation is slightly thicker and you could probably get away with only 1 coat. You can see how creamy it is in the photo of the swatches. At the same time, its creamy consistency is also a downside because it means that the polish in the bottle would thicken quicker than other more fluid nail polishes. Regardless, this is just a very basic sweet baby pink color, and its really good for using as a base for a typical French manicure. This is my second favorite and I love it especially since its just SGD$2.90!

The nail polish from Golden Rose didn't really live up to my expectations especially in terms of  its finish; it doesn't dry as smoothly as I would have liked. But nonetheless, it is still a pretty light pink color. I'd say its great for showing off a tan too; its a pastel color but its slightly brighter than your typical pastel polish. Its got a very slight shimmer in it, but its so subtle that I only noticed it the second time I was using this polish, and I don't think its even noticeable in the swatches! You would probably need 2 coats for this nail polish. It costs only about SGD$2.50 I think; I bought it when it was on sale. I'm totally loving the bottle!
