TonyMoly Swatches

Late one night, trolling for nail polish on ebay, I stumbled across a Korean brand called TonyMoly and this lovely little three piece of soft milky glitters.
 
 
 
GS08 (Milky Way), GS09 (Shooting Star), GS10 (Pinky Star)
 
All three have similar formulas, and I will have a write up after all the swatches.
 

 

GS08 (Milky Way), Four Coats

Gs08/Milky Way is a pale blue jelly with blue, pink and silver hex glitter. Looks very similar to Deborah Lipman Glitter in the Air/Revlon Whimsical. I haven't had a chance to compare with the Revlon dupe, but will doing so very soon.


 
One Coat

 
Two Coats

 
Three Coats
 
 
 
GS09 (Shooting Star), Four Coats
 
Shooting Star is a pretty purple jelly with a rainbow of hex glitter. It has the most opaque coverage out of the three and surprisingly, my favorite!

GS10 (Pinky Star)
 
Pinky Star is a soft pink jelly with gold, red, and pink hex glitter. It has the most sheer coverage, but still looks very nice.

Each dries with a satin finish, so a good shiny top coat is recommended for the full squishy jelly effect. Formula was tricky with all three. Leveling problems and slow dry time, combined with a fluffy brush did nothing to win me over. But there is something to be said for the dreamy quality these polishes have.
 
There is little info available about the brand TonyMoly (except for their global brand site), and they claim the polishes do not contain harmful ingredients and are safe to use, but there is no mention of them being "3 Free" so take that as you will.
 
There isn't an online vendor that I have found, other than a handful on ebay. Average price is about $6 per bottle.

  2. I'm currently living in South Korea and I have one TonyMoly polish that I bought from one of their shops in a subway station. Thanks for doing these reviews, as I was curious about maybe getting more, but of course there's not a lot of info about them online. :)
