Miners - Denim Shorts - duochrome mother-of-pearl

A bundle of 3 Miners polishes arrived on Saturday


2 coats of a very pretty polish. Miners has a new summer collection of pearlised shades. Google 'em. A typical pale duochrome IMO. Very like a particular favourite of mine - Revlon Street Wear Raw.
See below.


I love Street Wear. They are discontinued (but of course!) and only available on ebay. I keep my eyes open for them since they produced some tremendous polishes. I have Burnt which is a superb shimmery olive. These are certainly not dupes in the bottle but the effect on the nail is similar. I really don't need the Miners (not because it is a poor product per se) and hope to find it a good home. In short, a very wearable polish which I would describe as mother-of-pearl. Application easy. Lovely in direct sun.

The Miners are available from the website. Here's a promo pic.




Yes, I know, I know, it's blurry.
So I'll give the Miners 65%.
For reference purposes China Glaze For Audrey gets 90% whilst OPI I'm Not Really A Waitress got 60%. I can justify those ratings some other time.

Keep watching as I'm announcing my 1st GIVEAWAY later on today or tomorrow.

  2. I've got Flamingo and Rio and they look good too. I had better swatch them before the summer's over.

  5. I remember back in my teens when Miner's use to be in Claire's and every saturday I would go in and buy one of there £1 nail polishes.

    But now Miners don't seem to be 'around' like they once where if you know what I mean.
    It's a shame really because there polishes are quite nice, like the one above.

    All in all pretty nails.
