Blue Comparison: Seventeen vs. Flormar

Hey girlies! Whats going on? I've had this comparison on my to-do list ever since I bought these two colors and believe it or not today was the first time I used the Flormar one. I got these two at the same time but as I'll explain later they dont seem to be as old as each other when it comes to formula. You all know I have a little bias against Seventeen formula but sometimes the color is worth the pain. Anyway in the bottles these two colors look soooo much alike that you feel your getting the same thing. But I had a gut feeling they were different and so you'll see now. I put the letter S (for seventeen) or F (for Flormar) right under the nail I painted with that color.

As you can see Flormar is lighter than the Seventeen blue. Now I will describe the differences in these two polishes to make the decision of who the Blue Winner is.

Formula:

Flormar polish had a smooth and creamy formula and application was simple. It required 3 thin coats.
Seventeen polish had a clumpy and think formula and application was ok. It required 2 thick coats.

Because I've had these polishes for the same time I appreciate the Flormar formula alot more.

Round one goes to Flormar!!

Color:

I personally think the Flormar color is a funner and richer color because it has a light and summery feel to it. The Seventeen blue almost gives off a dirtier blue color.

Round two goes to Flormar!!

Brush:

I know brushes aren't a big thing to everybody but to me it is. I like bigger brushes it makes the streaks of polish look more complete and smoother. The Seventeen brushes are superrr tiny and the Flormar brush isn't the biggest but its a convenient size.

And round three goes to Flormar!!

A Flormar polish is sold for 1JD while a Seventeen polish is sold for 3.5JD's. I think we all know who the winner of this comparison is. So if your out shopping one day and find these two options definitely go with Flormar...it'll make your polishing life much better! Until next time.

Flormar SuperShine #10

Hey guys! Wats up? Today I want to show you a nail polish my mom bought and when I saw it I really wanted to swatch it and see how it looks. Now I'm gonna tell you all that I dont like colors like this...it's not my thing but I definitely do think its a nice color and I see alot of people wear it. So here it is...

Flormar SuperShine 10




Flormar SuperShine Shine and Hot Perfect Polish in number 10 is a metallic bronze color with a sort of holographic shimmer to it. What makes this polish so special as oppose to any other mettallic bronze color is that this one has tiny sparkles in it. So although this isn't my favey fave I have to say its definitely a special color...I'm glad I swatched it. Anywho, have a great day!

Oriental Flower Nail Art

Hey everyone! Hows it going? Summer...Summer...Summer. I'm ready to swim and have fun, how bout you? Had enough of winter yet? So in the mood of summer I busted out my turqoise polish and thought I'd do something fun with it. In the end it kinda felt oriental looking to me. Probably only to me hehe!

Oriental Flower Nail Art




I used Flormar Nail Enamel in 424 as my base color. Then I used Seventeen Super Shine in 529 to dot the design in. And I used white polish for the center of my flowers. I love this turqoise color...it's so much fun! If I were to recreate this look though, I would probably use a gold color to dot with first and then re-dot it with the Seventeen one that I have on in the pics. The reason is because this Seventeen color although it is a metallic color doesn't really show that well. As you can see in my pictures its not a very strong color to use for detail. But who cares...I love it anyway! Have a great Friday.
