MUA nail quake

I'm still rather attached to the nail effects trend that's going around - perhaps somewhat obsessed and I'll eye in on all the other brands that are bringing out versions too - even to the point of noticing New Look having a version. While being in Superdrug time-wasting on my lunch I noticed that MUA have additionally launched a version. I could rave around MUA nail varnishes for ages - I couldn't recommend them higher - a brand who's "normal" varnishes come in at a mere £1 yet lasted a whole week on application. Which is outstanding for any brand especially with the hell I put them through at work. 
They've named the effects "nail quake" and comes in a range of six colours each retailing at £2.99. With colours featuring jet black to rosy pink to purple, each I chose the Shattered Ice shade - a shiny silvery. I've found it a lot less gooey [if that's the right term] then other versions of similar products, it was therefore a lot easier to apply. The brush is a lot thinner too - which some may see as a cheap thing - but it actually aids the application process - limiting the chances of overlapping and letting you add a thin little line down the side. The affect occurs just like the others but it occurs is a more linear way and in larger groupings - a look which is very impressive and does make a good statement.

What's everyone else's experiences with MUA?

  1. I've never used MUA, the Nail Quake looks really good though. A lot better than some of its expensive rivals!

  2. I've never used or heard of MUA, but I am now very tempted to have a wee nosey round Superdrug and try it!

  4. It's definitely worth a try. Hazzlenut - they often hide it in a dark corner but its always really sort through and half empty!

  5. I've never come across MUA... I don't even know if we have it here in NZ!

    Just came across your blog via Missy Vintage - would love it if you stopped by mine sometime.

  6. LOVE this! I especially love the mint green polish. I love nail polish on finger nails, but I'm too scared to try it on myself. I think you've inspired me to try though :)

  8. I would have never picked green I will be honest if it hadn't of been that cheap but i'm trying to get into wearing more pastel light shades after wearing mostly black in my teenage years. I'm glad I did - its a really nice fresh colour.

    It did take two coats and a top coat by Rimmel to stay on for a week and my hands go through hell at work but its still good going.
