NYX Decadent Delights Nail Art 18 Piece Set Review

Hello all,

Hope you are all doing well. This is my second review and I really enjoyed doing it because of the large number of photos involved.



Today, I’m going to review a set of NYX nail polishes from the NYX Decadent Delights Nail Art Collection.  I must say that the nail polish centre of my brain had been lying deactivated for so many years and it suddenly jerked into action a few months ago I was googling for something and I came across some stunning pictures of glitter nail polishes and that was it, I decided to give it a go and bought this set. This is my first attempt at a nail polish review, so kindly bear with any mistakes.

Product Description:

Decadent Delights 18 piece nail art set offers a variety of jewel-toned options for manis and pedis. The high-quality formula comes in the season’s hottest on-trend fashion colors. Go for it, there are zero calories in this indulgent decadence.



Price:

20$

My Experience with NYX Decadent Delights Nail Art 18 Piece Set:

This is a set of 18 mini nail polishes. They consist of 9 creamy, 3 shimmery and 6 glitter polishes. I chose this mainly for the glittery ones, and I thought the other colors were pretty too. As a starter, I got much variety in a single pack. This is called nail art collection, but I don’t have any experience in that field, so I am using them as regular polishes with a little bit of layering. Most of these are from NYX’s Advanced Salon formula nail paint collection. You can buy individual shades from there. Let’s check them one by one:

White:

Pure white. Opaque in 2 coats.

Cloudy:

Cloudy grey. Opaque in 2 coats.

Black:

Opaque shade. Single coat used here.

Bone white:

Creamy nude. Opaque in 2 coats

Mermaid:

Shimmery green. Requires 3 or 4 coats.

Ink:

Very sheer, almost watery blue. You never achieve the color in the bottle, 4 coats applied here. A bummer!

Vinyl Red:

Bright red. Opaque in 2 coats

Extreme Purple:

Requires 3 coats.

Smooth Operator:

Brownish gold. Great for Indian skin. Opaque in 2 coats.

Shimmer Pink:

Opaque in two coats.

Gentlemen Prefer Red:

Deep maroon. Opaque in two coats.

Naked Pink:

Opaque in 3 coats.

Lasting power is good. Goes 4 to 5 days without chipping.

Now the glitters! These are beautiful colors. But glitter pay off is not much. You have to apply at least 3 coats and it never dries because all these have thick gel bases.

Disco Inferno:

Small silver holographic glitter in clear gel base. Looks good over colored base coats, 2 coats over NYX Black here. This is the one with maximum glitter pay off. Looks more beautiful in real.

24K Gold:

Golden small and large hexagonal particles in clear base, 3 coats over NYX White here.

Precious Gems:

Pink small and large hexagonal glitter in sheer pink gel base, 3 coats worn alone here.

Dark Glitter:

Dark red small and hexagonal glitter in sheer black gel base. 3 coats worn alone.

Purple Glitter:

Small hexagonal purple glitters in clear base, 3 coats over NYX Nude pink here.

Moonwalk:

Small and hexagonal holographic glitters in sheer black gel base, 3 coats over NYX Black here.

Pros of NYX Decadent Delights Nail Art 18 Piece Set:

Beautiful colors.

Some shades have great opacity.

Lasting power is good.

Cons of NYX Decadent Delights Nail Art 18 Piece Set:

Varying opacity, some are too sheer.

Glitter pay off is minimum.

Thick gel base of glitters makes layering difficult to dry.

IMBB Rating:

3.5/5
