Max Factor - Tropical Spirit

This is an oldie!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a nice gold that is slightly orangy. Not sure it is really my colour though? Nice enough and lasted well. Not sure exactly how old this is??? Might be able to still get it online.

Rating
Easy to use = 8/10
Application = 8/10
Drying time = 8/10 - good drying for an older polish
Lasted well = 8/10
Coats = 2
Finish = slight shimmery - jewel toned
Removal = easy
Overall = 8/10
Purchased from = no idea, so long ago!

My Personal Rating = 6.5/10

Max Factor Aqua Marine



This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It's a mixture of creamy and jelly - crelly I guess you'd call it ;-) It isn't really my normal colour, but funnily enough I quite liked wearing this one! Must admit to buying this in the sale though! This new style to Max Factor has a good brush and lid is comfortable to hold. Lasted really well. It's not really what I'd call "Aqua Marine" though :-|

Max Factor Blue Energy



This is okay to use and okay to apply. The brush is a bit thin and tricky to use at first but I got used to it. Fairly quick drying (about 2 minutes for a coat). It's such a pretty blue and I really like it! For some reason I thought it was called 'Electric Blue' then I realised where I was going wrong...link...I had even written it down in my notes as Blue Energy *doh*! Lasted really well.

Max Factor Nailfinity Wine Red

This is one of my well used reds! It's Mr Posh's favourite red of all time.


All in the sun.



And in the shade.

All above 2 coats.

This is easy to use and easy to apply. The lid is excellent and the brush rocks. It's very quick drying and is probably one of my favourite reds too! Lasted well and is good quality. An all round goodie.

8 out of 10. Can't remember where I got it, as it's a good few years old. But I've seen it on Amazon, eBay and in Boots and the bigger supermarkets too. Easy enough to come by.

Max Factor Pearl Maron

Haven't had a Max Factor on in a while and I let one of my cats pick which colour to wear. He choose this one.
It's a sort of Rosy pinky orange-ish colour.
Indoors with flash.


Without flash.
And just for fun, with a pretty flutterby.

Max Factor nail polishes are pretty good and this is no exception! It's easy to use, easy to hold the lid and easy to apply. Goes on nicely with the good brush and only needed 2 coats. It's quick drying as well and last too. Nice colour!

7 out of 10. Can be picked up from most big chemists like Boots, also online!

Max Factor Nailfinity Rose Petal 733

I've had this one for ages and it's been on a few times! The is the first time I've had it on since I started the blogs.
If purple and brown had a baby, I think it would be this colour!

All inside with flash.


It was very easy to apply and how good is the lid for this Max Factor Polish? It was a good formula and went on nicely. 1 coat would have done, but I like 2 coats and all above are 2 coats as per usual! It dried quickly and lasted well.

Big fan of this one. All in all 7 out of 10.

I picked it up for just over £5. And prices vary, but it's really easy to pickup.  Since I paid over £5 it's on here, ever though it retails for less now.
