A Korean Beauty: VOV 5311A

Hello my lovelies! It's the end of the week and it's finally time for me to get less lazy and show you some nails. I hope I will write a couple of posts this weekend so please expect lots of nail action from my blog in the following days. A few months ago was the birthday of my good friend Kinga, so naturally I had to get her some special polishes. She is really into milky glitters and hadn't tried any Asian polishes yet, so I decided to order some Korean beauties for her. I initially wanted some from Etude House but couldn't find any good ones online. Instead I went for The Face Shop and VOV, a brand I didn't know about before. If you wanna check out her review of the polish I got her from The Face Shop you can check it out here. While I was choosing the polishes for her, I saw this interesting one from VOV that I had to get for myself. Back in May when I reviewed this milky glitter polish set, I complained about the pink being too girly and sweet for my taste. This one on the other hand is more of a lilac pink and it's perfect. See for yourself!

The brand is called VOV and this particular collection is called Apple Nail. It comes in very elegant bottles that are similar to the Etude House ones I liked so much. This polish only has the number 5311A on the label but after a bit of research online I discovered that it's also called Milkis Violet. I'm not sure if it's an official name so I decided not to use it as a title for my post. As you can see, the polish consists of a lilac pink milky base with tons of multicolored glitter in it. So pretty!

I really loved the application of this polish, even though the glitter needs a bit of "placement" to get on evenly on the nail. The base is a bit sheer so a third coat may be needed, depending on the way you apply it. I managed to get it opaque and since my nails were pretty short, I got away with just two coats. I also used a peel-off base coat underneath to make removal easier.

I'm a big fan of Korean nail polish and I'm glad I got to introduce my friend to these beauties. I just wish they were easier to find online. The glitters they make are similar to indie ones and usually more affordable. I will surely get more if I find some that are worth it. Until then I hope you enjoyed this post and I wish you all a wonderful weekend!
