Etude House Play Nails Masterpost (WARNING: Photo Heavy!)

Hello again everyone! Today I'll be talking about the Korean brand Etude House's nail polishes; which are called Play Nails.

*DISCLAIMER*: Please do not use my photos without giving credit or without my permission.

All my babies lined up and neat... I didn't have the heart to throw them back in my drawers :(

All the swatch will be applied live on this video below:

One of the problem that I found is that Etude House uses a different name for different types of nail polishes compared to the regular brands. To help you, I have a list of the 'dictionary':

• P 페랑트 = Paint

Paint means that the color is opaque in just one coat. But in my experience, even the nail polishes labeled as P can definitely use a second coat to even out the nail polishes.

• J 젤리 = Jelly

Jelly means that the polish needs 2-3 coats to reach opacity, and yes, their formula is actually creamy, not jelly.

• Y 요거트 = Yoghurt

Yoghurt nails means crelly glitter, like China Glaze It's A Trap-eze.

• G 글리터 = Glitter

Pretty self explanatory, right?

• S 쉬머링 = Shimmer

This is where it gets confusing, Etude House provides 2 types of nail polish with the 'S' code. One is a shimmer, and another one is Syrup.

• S 시럽  = Syrup

Syrup right here is what us normal people call 'Jelly', which means that it's sheer and squishy!

• PG 펄글리터  = Pearl Glitter

Pearl Glitter in this context means opaque creamy nail polish that has glitters/shimmers throughout.

• NG 네은글리터 = Neon Glitter

Neon Glitter. Pretty self explanatory.

• H 흘로그렘 = Hologram

Another self-explanatory code.

• L 레더 = Leather

Leather = texture. 

• PS 펄시럽 = Pearl Syrup

Jelly polish with shimmers.

• N 네은  =  Neon

Obviously, neon means neon.

Etude House Play Nail 230 Swatch and Review

 Hey sweethearts! I promised you I'd talk to you guys again soon right? So hereI'm back with another swatch. I actually did a series of swatch in one night, trying to make use of my nail shape before I trim them back to square. 

This shape does look good, but it's kinda impractical. As I am typing this, my fingers had to be angled creatively so I'm comfortable typing on laptops :p

Anyway, Etude House went ahead and decided to put all of their nail polish in one collection; the Play Nail. As seasons change and they release another collection, the serial number marking the color would also be added. And here is number 230 from the Melting Summer Collection. Ever since I saw the promotional pictures of this one, I knew I had to have it! I'm a sucker for glitter crelly, I guess.

 

 Etude Play Nail 230 is an off white crelly (creme jelly) packed with round matte black glitter in various sizes. It absolutely looks like Oreo Ice Cream! Kinda reminds me of McDonald's McFlurry Oreo! Okay, now I'm hungry.

Etude House Play Nail 182 Review and Swatch

Hey dolls!

Today I'm back with another Korean nail polish to show you.

Last year, Etude House released a HUGE collection of nail polish in a line named 'Play Nails". The collection consists of colors already published, but bottled in a new packaging, and also some new colors.

A couple of weeks ago I ordered a bunch of them through a Pre-Order system from Warxisister OS, because nobody in my country would stock the whole 190 colors! It costs IDR 43.000, if I'm not mistaken.

More after the jump!
Etude House Play Nails 182 is a navy blue jelly with medium and small hex silver glitters. Upon seeing the promotional pictures, I knew I had to get it! ;)

See the word 'G' in the label? I used google translate to find out that it's short for 'Glitter' which is the translation of that little korean under the 'G'.
