Currently On My Nails- Faces Cosmetics Matte Nail Enamel Fire Stick 74: Review, Swatches & NOTD

Do you know what the color of the fire is? Red? No! It’s like the Faces cosmetics nails enamel from the matte neon range “Fire Stick” 74!!!

Now I am writing matte neon because on the website I couldn’t find this color listed under the matte section but it was there in the neon so I thought to mention it as matte-neon. As the texture is matte but the shade is neon the one word goes perfect with it…lol! 🙂

Product description: (as taken from Faces Cosmetics website)

Flaunt your bright side with FACES Neon shades…

Shiny glossy nail polish can look a bit tired, but adding a matte finish?  How smart!  These breathtaking shades will make your nails stand out from the crowd and glow. It’s trendy, chic, and ads a new dimension to your nails.

Price: Rs. 229

Quantity: 9ml

Shelf life: 2 yrs

Other available shades:

1. Bubble pop
2. Electric
3. Fire Stick ( reviewed today)
4. Greed
5. Ibiza

Packaging: The nail enamel is stored in a rectangular glass bottle. The transparent bottles of the neon range were shining like a bright pop of color right from where they were kept in the store. Instantly I fall head over heels in love with the collection.

Shade: Just like the flame of the fire, the “Fire Stick 74” is bright and perfect hue of orange.

Texture: I am not a big fan of its texture. I thought that it would be glossy, at least that’s the way it looked in the bottle, but it finished on my nails as a complete matte shade! No shine what so ever!

Staying power: It’s normal like any other nail enamels. It stayed on my nails for 3-4 days and it didn’t chip before that. After the 4rth day maybe I was able to see it disappearing at the ends! On my feet nails it stayed much longer without chipping and staying bold. My only concern was that it wasn’t able to dry fast. I first applied two coats as just one coat didn’t looked the shade what I wanted. But, it took quite some time to dry! Also the brush is broad and would cover your nails nicely however since the nail enamel is of very thin consistency you can’t avoid putting a second coat over it!

Turn off: Faces Cosmetics nail Enamel fire stick 74

1)    Takes a lot of time to dry.

2)    Its dull matte but which can be made a tad shiny by adding a shiny transparent coat of nail paint! I added my crystal clear from Maybelline colorshow range. ( not in these pics but i applied afterwards, and the shade did become a bit shiny!)

COSMOCHICS RATING: 4.6/5

“INFO ON A SILVER PLATTER”– A matte shade with real fire color i.e. a perfect neon orange is how I would describe the fire stick! It’s a gorgeous shade which can uplift your mood and would make your spirits alive during summers!
