NYX Advanced Salon Formula - part one of swatches

Helloooo!

I've recently managed to get my hands on some NYX Advanced Salon Formula colours and thought I'd swatch them for you...


L-R: Lime, Acid Pink, Ocean Blue, Be Jeweled and Forever Young.

 Lime. Eye-watering bright green. Smooth consistency, full of shimmer. Two coats applied with a base coat.

Acid Pink - Brilliant pink with silver shimmer particles. Thicker consistency, but I got great coverage with only two coats.

Ocean Blue, a light blue with shimmer particles. Thinner consistency than the pink but once again, maximum effect only two coats.

Be Jeweled. A turquoise polish with gold and blue particles. Two coats. This one reminded me of a mermaid and was a nightmare to capture on the camera. I have now realised that I have quite a few colours similar to this - none of which I wear. I may put this one in a giveaway if no-one objects to winning a swatched polish.

Forever Young. A rose coloured base polish with silver micro glitter and flakes. This one was much thinner than the others. I used three coats to get coverage.

I have a few more to swatch but the natural light wasn't playing ball when I did these.

Which of these is your favourite? Do you have any NYX polishes yourself? Is the idea of a 'once-swatched' polish in a giveaway a deal breaker or would you be happy to own one?
