Max Factor Max Effect Deep Mauve Mini Nail Polish Review

Max Factor Max Effect Deep Mauve Mini Nail Polish Review

I was sick the whole of yesterday, and while the rest of me was not so pretty, my nails looked nice because the day before yesterday, I painted the Max Factor Max Effect Deep Mauve Mini Nail Polish on them in time for a get-together with friends.

What Max Factor says:

Each of the 18 vibrant shades in this incredible new range – from Lollipop Pink to Cactus Green – lets your nails become the canvas for a statement. Choose to conform or choose to shake things up. One colour or multiple shades. Nail your look.

I do believe this is my first Max Factor product ever! I received it as part of a gift this past Christmas, but only got to try it recently. I love getting nail polishes as gifts and having ‘new’ shades to discover in my stash.

It doesn’t say on the bottle how much product this contains but as it’s a mini bottle it obviously has a lesser amount than regular polishes. I find this size practical for someone who owns many bottles of polish, like me. The handle and brush of it are small and short too, but I find it okay and not hard to use.

I checked online for the price of the Max Factor Max Effect Mini Nail Polishes and found that they’re PhP 175 each. I think that’s kind of expensive for a mini bottle. Anyways, there are lots of shades of this to choose from which I see whenever I pass by a Max Factor counter at department stores (SM, Rustans, Landmark).

The Max Factor Max Effect Mini Nail Polish in Deep Mauve is a jewel-toned color. It took me kinda long to try it because I thought it wasn’t my kind of shade, but now I don’t know what my kind of nail polish shades are—I like so many! Deep Mauve, in the bottle, seemed like a bit of a matronly color, but on the nails, it’s actually feminine and sexy.

Please excuse the tip wear, I’ve had this on for about 3 days already.

Deep Mauve has a reddish base with very fine purplish reflects. So when I put on the first coat, it mostly looked like a red, then when I did a second coat, which loaded on more of the purply, fine shimmer particles on my nails, it looked more cool-toned and purple, and as a whole I’d say it looks like a reddish, dark mauve.

I like the smoothness of the formula and how it didn’t take too long to dry. On its own, it’s somewhat glossy, but I felt that a glossier finish would suit this color better, so I put on a coat of The Face Shop Top Coat.

Pros:

• Sexy, pretty color.
• Smooth formula.
• Brush is short but not hard to work with.
• It’s easily accessible.

Cons:
