Reposting this because I had a major database problem and lost 3 days worth of posts >_< If you commented during that time it also unfortunately was lost š Feel free to comment again and sorry for theĀ inconvenience!
Today is the last part of my Ulta 3 polish reviews ^_^
To recap:
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. Ā 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: Bon Bon
Description: Pearly pink with a silver shimmer.

Thoughts: |
So pretty. This is the perfect sweet base colour. It’s nice and natural but when it hits the light it’s really pretty and shiny.
Good for: -Natural work friendly manicures -Sweet cutesy designs, perfect for Hime and Lolita
Bad for: – Probably bad for konad as it’s not very opaque in one go.
Colour Name: Gold Digger
Description: Gold glitter in a clear base.
Thoughts: Stock standard gold glitter. Nothing special or ground breaking but it does what it promises and it’s good at it so it should be a staple of any polish collection. Much easier to work with than loose glitter too!
Good for: -Adding interest to a plain manicure. -Making more interesting french tips
Bad for: -Opacity (duh) -Getting a completely even coating of glitter as you would need a billion coats -Konad.
Colour Name: Precious
Description: Goldish brown polish with a silver shimmer.
Thoughts: Interesting colour combination, gold and silver in one polish makes it quite versatile. I don’t particularly like it as a base colour but it looks good as accents.
Good for: -Leopard/animal print nail art -Probably good for konad as it is nice and shiny while being opaque
Bad for: -Being subtle, it’s super shiny in the sun.
Colour Name: Silver Glitter
Description: Silver glitter in a clear base.
Thoughts: This is the sister colour to Gold Digger, though they were a little less creative with the naming here XD Again very basic but works very well and another staple of my collection.
Good for: (same as Gold Digger) -Adding interest to a plain manicure. -Making more interesting french tips
Bad for: -Opacity (duh) -Getting a completely even coating of glitter as you would need a billion coats -Konad.
Colour Name: Spring Blossom
Description: Milky pastel yellow.
Thoughts: I wasn’t sure on this one when I first bought it but the colour slowly grew on me after I saw how shiny and pretty the finish is. It’s a really Springish base colour (as the same obviously suggests) and it’s opaque enough for nail art too.
Good for: -Light fun spring manicures -Nature/flower themed manicures
Bad for: -Some skin tones as it’s a little odd shade of yellow.
Colour Name: Snazzle
Description: Intense silver polish with silver shimmer.
Thoughts: This is one of my all time favorite Ulta3 colours hands down. It is a shimmer silver that really smacks you in the face, super opaque and one of the most versatile polishes I own. Unfortunately I think it’s been discontinued because I can’t find it anywhere now and my bottle is almost finished ;_; As it turns out you can buy it online here: http://www.pulsepharmacy.com.au/Product/Ulta3-Nail-Colour-Snazzle.aspx Thanks to Sabrina for letting me know! Also BGDinosent me two bottles she found in Sydney š Double thank you!!
Good for: -Adding bling to designs -Konad, works super well.
Bad for: -Umm. I can’t really fault this one! Maybe bad for not being blinding in the sun XD
And there you have it! That officially ends my Ulta 3 polish collection review… that is, until I get the bug again and see a bucket of it at a chemist again XD
