Savina Black Pearl

Savina is a brand that I don't feature much because honestly, I only own two polishes from them. The only place I've ever seen them be sold is at Nordstrom Rack. Even though I only have two, they are two KICKASS polishes. This one here has got to be one of my favorites of all time!

I am really upset that my camera didn't take good photos of this polish :-( This is a GORGEOUS teal/blue/purple *duochrome* polish! Of course, in these pics, you see mainly teal, but depending on the lighting, it is also purple and blue. You can see it a little in the bottle, but it is much more obvious and apparent in person. The formula was also surprisingly wonderful. It's thick, but not too thick, applied very well, and only needed two coats. And, Savina only costs $4 at my Nordie's Rack :-) Does anyone else own Savina polish? What do you think of it? The only other one I have is Money Tree, which could be a dupe for the incredibly-hard-to-find China Glaze Moonpool.

Savina Money Tree

I hope y'all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was filled with lots of fun (and also a few not-so-fun) moments :-)

I am a sucker for anything green, so when I saw this bottle at Nordstrom Rack, I immediately put it in my hot little hands and rushed to the checkout counter!

I took these pics after one full day of wear, so my apologies that my nails don't look as good as when I first put the polish on. I was in a huge rush the night I put it on that I left my house as my nails were still drying. I used two coats.

Money Tree is a gorgeous shade of green that has some yellow/golden undertones to it. In the sunlight, it sparkles and appears kind of like a frost polish. It is super pretty! It also wears pretty well -- I wore it all weekend with no issues.

I have never seen or heard of Savina until I saw it at Nordstrom Rack. Actually, I haven't seen it anywhere else other than NR. They had a whole fixture full of Savina polish. The application and wear were pretty good (brush is kind of thin though). The color selection wasn't amazing, so I only picked up two (this one one another glitter polish to use as a sparkly top coat). Check out your local Nordie's Rack if you want some Savina!
