SWATCHES: Primark Ps // Mushroom, Cashew, Baby & Candy

SWATCHES: Primark Ps // Mushroom, Cashew, Baby & Candy

Apart from some chrome polishes I bought a while ago I haven't really dived into Primark polishes which is weird because they're mainly £2 or less. I told myself I didn't need any more polish but I saw all these pretty pink/nude shades and I couldn't resist.

Mushroom // Nude Mauve/Brown Creme
Collection: Colour Care
Coats: 2

Primark Ps Colour Care Mushroom Swatch

I'm starting off with the deepest shade. I don't normally go for brown shades but there is something about this shade that I really like. I think it would be perfect as the detail on ice cream cone designs. The formula though is actual witchcraft. It's sheer and runny yet applies with no streaks and you could wear 1 coat by itself. It's also incredibly shiny. I think the slight mauve/cool undertone sets this brown apart from others. It's the first one I've tried that truly suits my skintone. Off to a good start.

Cashew // Nude Cream Creme
Collection: Colour Care
Coats: 2

Primark Ps Colour Care Cashew Swatch

This one is defintely streaky if applied lightly. You can almost get away with 1 thick coat but I'd do 2 just to ensure full coverage and a smooth mani. This is a fantastic cream colour that isn't too yellow. It honestly looks just like cashews; they clearly chose the name wisely. 

Baby // Soft Pastel Pink Creme
Collection: Colour Care
Coats: 2

Primark Ps Colour Care Baby Swatch

I'm not a big fan of the name but I am a big fan of the shade. This has a slightly thicker formula but it makes it easier to apply. The shade itself is not an "in your face" pink; it's subtle and more powdery.

Candy// Soft Pastel Pink Creme
Collection: Gel Effect
Coats: 2

Primark Ps Gel Effect Candy Swatch

This was definitely the easiest to apply. I liked how the shade looked with 1 coat, but it went a bit too bubblegum with 2. It's still a nice pretty pink colour; it reminds me of Ciaté Tutu. It's still a little streaky with 2 coats and could possibly do with 3 but it's not noticeable unless you're about 10cm away from your nails.

// Verdict

Unfortunately my local Primark is severely understocked in their nail polish range. The stand was almost empty save for these shades. The stand with the false nails was full though. I'll keep my eye out though as I've been convinced. For the price these polishes are excellent quality as well as being cruelty free and at least 3-Free.

  1. The 2 pinks are cute :-D

    Yeah was in Primark and they were understocked too. I think polishes are low on the stock list :-O
