Miners Cosmetics... Nail Polish Graphite NP036


I was lucky enough to receive a sample of Miners Nail Polish in 'Graphite' which is very similar to my usual 'goth' look of black-coated nails.



The colour is beautiful, very dark with a shimmer of bluey glimmer. The end result isn't as glossy as other nail colours I've used, but I was impressed with its quick-drying silky smooth finish.

I found it easy to apply, with virtual precision...something I'm not normally very good at. And applied two coats. Although, when I managed to drop a large gloop on one nail in particular, I didn't need to add a second coat.

Bear in mind that I was multi-tasking when painting my nails...I was simultaneously pulling pints and prettying my finger nails! I managed to smudge just two nails while I was taking money in and out of the cash register, so was very glad of the product's quick-drying capabiliities.

Four Days Later...

It's been four days since I applied Miners' Graphite nail varnish, and up to yesterday (Sunday), the polish had barely even chipped. it had survived dishwashing, showering, hair washing, hand cream and multiple hand washing, plus 2 nights of pulling pints, a full day on the keyboards and a trip to the footie... so fairly durable! In the end it succumbed slightly to the horrors of 2 hours of suffocating in marigolds...

I give it 8 and a half out of 10...
