Hi everyone!
The next one in this series will be BRONZE METALLIC  from the metallic shine category, guessed it didn’t you? I thought so!

Ingredients: Not mentioned
Price: Rs.85 for 5ml but almost always it is available on offers
Availability: Only through Avon representatives.
The shade has a metallic finish as per the name but it looks more like a dull gold than a bronze shade. One coat was sufficient for an opaque coverage. Couldn’t find many high-end dupes for this though, found just one, which isn’t a dupe exactly, but a similar color. More on that at the end of review

Drying time was average, around one minute. The staying power was good, it stayed for 4-5 days when two coats were applied, without a base coat and a top coat. The application was a bit streaky but the metallic finish makes it hard to spot.

The brush and packaging were okay, nothing much to complain about but the finish wasn’t that good, a bit streaky as I already mentioned. One good thing about this shade is well, the shade :P I haven't seen such dull gold shades anywhere so it gets brownie points for being unique, if any of you know of such a colour, do mention in the comments!
Pros:
  • Good staying power
  • Dull gold shade.
  • Price!
Cons:
  • Application is streaky.
  • No ingredients list.
  • Available only through Avon representatives

Dupe Alert!: Mac Magnificent Feast is a similar shade, but it has all these glitters and sparkles which are not in Bronze Metallic shade. I won’t say that these two shades are twins, second cousins maybe :P Bronze Metallic looks like Magnificent Feast in natural sunlight, though it looks darker in photos taken with flash :-/ See the last pic, the one which displays the brush, now I guess you could find the similarity between this one and the MAC one .

Final Word: The streaky application, the opaqueness that covers the streaky application, the staying power, everything reminds me of Cool Coral shade. Get it if you love dull gold shades 

How well do you know your simply pretty polishes? Here's a clue for you guys to guess the next one I’ll be reviewing : Clash of the titans! Silver shimmer and matte finish!! A soft shade, which is also a great party shade, any guesses? Let me know in the comments below
