The Face Shop: Deep Blue Pearl

The last of the six VFS polishes is a lovely deep metallic blue that reminds me of sapphires.

Application was very smooth, and it reached a luxurious opacity in three coats.

I felt like making it more blingy, so I added stickers. :P

BL604 should be the closest match to this in the current line, but the website's photo doesn't do it much justice.

The Face Shop: Red Sparkle

The second polish in Vintage Face Shop II is a super cute red jelly glitter. Jelly polishes and glitter polishes are already awesome enough on their own, but I think they're even more amazing when combined.

It's quite sheer, unlike Skin Food's one-coat-wonder glitterbombs,

but it builds up very nicely in three coats.

In their current line, the closest polish to this would have to be OR204.

The Face Shop: Pale Yellow

The first polish in part II of the Vintage Face Shop series is a pale, shimmery yellow:

It's very sheer, so I layered it over Orly Spark.

After three coats, it ended up looking like Bobbie Pinacolada.

Now I'm wondering why I even bought Pinacolada in the first place if I could already replicate it with polishes already in my stash. LOL, it's a classic case of impulse buying!

The Face Shop: Pure Green

I used to wear this turquoise blue-green a lot two years ago. Like yesterday's Hot Pink, it's also very similar to an Elianto polish I previously posted about.


The years have not been kind to this polish. Application was terribly lumpy, which is sad because Fluorescent Orange and Hot Pink weren't.

Still, it looked pretty okay in the end. Hard to put on, though.

In the current line, the closest color to this would be GR502, although that one is shimmery.

Part II of Vintage Face Shop will be posted the week after next. I think I need to grow my nails out a bit more for those colors!

The Face Shop: Hot Pink

Like Elianto, The Face Shop also has a Hot Pink. (Or should that be the other way around, since The Face Shop is much older? XD)

Unlike Elianto's blue-toned creme version, however, theirs is a warm-toned jelly:

Like Fluorescent Orange (and most other TFS polishes), this one reaches "Pretty!" in 3 coats.

In their current line, I suppose this polish's equivalent would be PK106.

The Face Shop: Fluorescent Orange

Welcome to the first half of the Nail Polish Ninja's third polish series! Vintage Face Shop will feature discontinued polishes from The Face Shop's line. These TFS veterans actually have names unlike their newer counterparts!

You know how they say warm colors increase your appetite? Well, this pretty orange jelly makes me want to eat my nails.

Yum. Shiny (and totally edible looking) in three coats.

OR203 is this polish's closest approximate in the current line.

Sneak Peek: Vintage Face Shop I


This two-part series focuses on my very first Face Shop polishes, which I bought at their pioneer branch at Bonifacio High Street way back in 2006.

Their old packaging is very similar to Elianto's, isn't it?
