As you may have seen, I posted a review of a different Sephora Formula X polish super recently but I was just so super excited I couldn’t wait to post this so here it is! The polish in this picture is again a Sephora Formula X nail polish (you know, in case the title wasn’t clear or something haha) called Rocket Fuel. Seriously guys, I’m kind of speechless. Just look at it! Look at the picture! I love it! So so so much! I know I said I loved the last one but this is the ultimate nail polish right here. Normally I’m not one to like the chrome effect–it takes too long and too much effort to look good, and a lot of the time I think it looks kinda cheap. But this, wow. And normally I’m not one to like green nail polish either I mean, I kinda hate green (don’t hate me for saying that). But this is the perfect colour for the effect. I looked it up and I’m not the only one saying that either, apparently the other chrome finishes aren’t such a hit, but a lot of people really like this one and I think that says something. Maybe it’s because the colour changes in different lights. One second it’s a deep mossy green colour and the next it looks silver.
Anyway, aside from the colour, the formula is good. It’s kind of thick but not too thick, and the brush marks pretty much disappear completely. The finish is very, well, chrome-like and is a shiny sort of matte. Just to give you an idea, in the picture above I did two coats, and it looks pretty flawless. One coat wasn’t really good enough as it dries so quickly, which is an extremely good thing except it dries so quick when I painted over a spot I’d already brushed it actually dragged the nail polish with it. I mean, it’s not bad or anything, but you probably would need a second coat. But bonus for drying time I guess! I hate to end on a bad note but the formula seems almost as prone to chipping as in my last Formula X review here. It’s still amazing overall though.
So to sum this all up: I love it so much, it’s my new all-time favourite nail polish. I love the colour, the formula is pretty good and even though it chips easily, it’s worth it. I can see myself re-buying this time and time again. Plus, how cool is the name Rocket Fuel?! I mean seriously, it gets bonus points just for that!
