Time for some serious nail polish swatching! Today is my favorite brand of all time 😀

Brand:
Ulta3

From:
Local chemists, don’t think you can get it online but I could be wrong. Generally sold in large discount bins.

Price:
$2-3

Volume:
13.5ml

Bottle:
Generic round bottle with a white top.  Fairly cheap looking but who cares for $2 XD Only real problem I’ve found is that the glue holding the brush to the lid is a bit crap so often the lid comes off minus the brush. Easily fixed by removing any dried polish around the top of the bottle and closing/opening it again.

Brush:
Average size, flexible.

Drying Time:
Roughly the same for all of them. Fairly quick but nothing to write home about.

Colour Name:
Freesia

Description:
Dark pink with silver shimmer.

Ulta 3 Nail Polish Swatches


Thoughts:
One of my favorites in the Ulta3 range because it’s really lovely with purple nail art. It’s quite a dark pink so it’s definitely not drawing any Barbie comparisons but in the sun it really picks up the silver shimmer and looks quite spectacular.

Ulta 3 Nail Polish Swatches

Good for:
-Office appropriate manicures that still pack a punch
-Matching with purple nail art

Colour Name:
Lagoon

Description:
Acid green with a very slight silver shimmer.

Thoughts:
Whoever came up with the name should have picked something else. The only thing that I think that this colour has  to do with a lagoon is disgusting poisonous alge XD That said the colour itself is actually really nice and layers well, perfect for Spring manicures 😀

Ulta 3 Nail Polish Swatches

Good for:
-Spring themed nail art
-Flowers etc

Bad for:
-Konad, too sheer.

Thoughts:
This is your serious Barbie pink ^_^ There is no way to un-cuten this colour hahaha! I think the photos and the fact that I’ve used 3/4 of the bottle probably speak for themselves.

Ulta 3 Nail Polish Swatches

Good for:
-Sweet styles
-Lolita/Hime Gyaru styles

Bad for:
-Konad, too sheer

Ulta 3 Nail Polish Swatches

Colour Name:
Silver Grey

Description:
Name says it all 😉

Ulta 3 Nail Polish Swatches

Thoughts:
Quite pigmented which makes it fantastic for nail art and making little accents on already done designs. It’s not my favorite silver that Ulta 3 have done (that’s Snazzle) but it’s still a really nice colour in its own right.

Ulta 3 Nail Polish Swatches

Good for:
-Nail art in general or using for small accents.
-Probably good for konad because it’s decently pigmented.

Ulta 3 Nail Polish Swatches

Colour Name:
Little Boy Blue

Description:
Sheer light blue with a lot of silver shimmer.

Thoughts:
This is probably my favorite of all the Ulta 3 colours. It can be used to layer really effectively over other polishes like I did a while ago with that snow manicure or layered by itself for a really deep glitter. By itself it the shimmer becomes so deep it almost looks like glitter. Needs about 3 coats to be opaque

Ulta 3 Nail Polish Swatches

Good for:
-Layering over other polishes
-Making an interesting base coat alone.

Bad for:
-Konad, too sheer.

That’s part one in the ridiculous number of Ulta3 polishes I have! This is going to be a long series because they are so cheap I tend to amass them XD
