Nail Addict by Famous - Angel

Purple foil with chunky & fine glitter  

Angel is a pinky plum foil with chunkyish pink glitter and some fine darker purple glitter


Formula is oddly thick/gloopy like the foil/glitter is suspended in the polish

It's also pretty sheer - I needed 3 thick coats for opaqueness...

Famous Nail Addict - Gold Star

Muted Gold & Silver glitter  

Nail Addict is a new nail polish range from Famous Makeup.  Famous used to be sold in Superdrug and were Famous by Sue Moxley but the branding and the products seemed to have changed.

I picked up a few nail polishes with a recent order - they were very reasonable at £1.99

And at the moment everything is half price on their website - Famous

I have reviewed several Famous polishes in the past and was generally impressed

Must admit I prefer the old bottles - these ones look a little cheap with the slender chrome lids...

Gold Star is a mixed glitter muted gold and silver glitter

Swatch shown is 2 coats but good, almost full cover for that

The formula is pretty gloopy though.

Famous by Sue Moxley - SuedeFX 29

Dark silver suede

The last of my 'old style' Sue Moxley Famous polishes

Suede Finish - Shade

Suede Finish - Sunlight

With Topcoat - Shade

29 is a dark silver grey suede finish polish.  The main polish colour is dark grey with masses of more silvery speckles.  Again I've shown this with a coat of topcoat to bring out the speckles

Swatch shown is 2 coats, with and without topcoat.

I don't have a lot of suede finish polishes but I do like them, I like the suede finish, I find it more pleasing than a pure matte, almost lush and I love the speckled effect finish that is really bought out by topcoat.

Sue Moxely Famous - Scarlet Sparkle

Glowing red foil shimmer   

Another Famous by Sue Moxley polish...

Hmmm - Who knows why I only took one picture of this glorious polish on my nails?!

Scarlet Sparkle is a deep red shimmer with red and gold flaky shimmer.  It's definitely got that lit from within glow too.  Yummy...

I know this isn't the most unique of colours but it's a lovely shade, done well.

Swatch shown is 2 coats, no top coat as usual.

Sue Moxley - Purple Dazzle

Purple foil shimmer

Sue Moxley's Famous line used to be sold in Superdrug but I'm not sure if they still carry it, my local Superdrug certainly doesn't.  Also I used to source some at the discount store TJ Hughes till they disappeared from down south, sniff (Eastbourne excepted)

I can't recall whether this was a Superdrug or TJHughes purchase, IIRC they retail at £5 but there were often multi-buy offers on.

Purple Dazzle is a gorgeous purple with masses of foily shimmer.  The foil shimmer is pink, purple and maybe a little pale gold from what I can make out.  Either way it's lush and nicely visible.

Application and the brush are good and this swatch is 2 coats with no top coat.

I've got a sweet little collection of Sue Moxley's and they've mostly been great, maybe she should give up on the other cosmetics and just concentrate on the polish!

Famous by Sue Moxley no11

Gah, another week without posting, the house project, now thankfully in it's final stages is still eating up my free time.

Sue Moxley is a make-up artist, I can't say I'm particularly up on make-up artists so I've never heard of her, have you?

She has a range of makeup called Famous by Sue Moxley which I'm pretty sure is unique to Superdrug. I've perused the range in the past but as often in Superdrug the display was a bit of a state and while some of the eyeshadows looked interesting the prices were quite high. And there was no nail polish so how interested could I be?!

But revisiting the range I found they'd introduced a small but interesting range of nail polish - hooray! So I snapped up a few to try.

Let's look at the regular polish first, called Advanced Performance Nail Colour - this is 11 - no names, how dull.

 



Vibrant Purple creme, this is three coats, but I probably could've done two. It's nothing unique but a pretty colour and very shiny!
