Claire's Cosmetics Poison Apple Swatch And Review


Hi de ho! Is another Monday(already) and to start the week I have an oldie but goodie for you.  This is Claire's Poison Apple, a foil like duochrome that shifts from burgundy to gold.  I picked this up a couple years ago at the Claire's Outlet by my parents and subsequently lost it in my stash.  I came across it recently and thought the name would coincide perfectly with Halloween.  I used three thin coats here and although formula was good, it dried too quickly during application and I kept getting bald spots at the base of my nails.  Hopefully the third coat remedied that problem.  I finished with a layer of topcoat.

This doesn't appear as duochrome as I had hoped. Sad face.  Don't get me wrong, the gold is visible in the macro shot, I only wish that it was stronger.  I heard this was a dupe for MAC Bad Fairy but it's too late tonight for me to swatch both together.  Have you tried both of these? Any other similar shades out there?

  1. I saw this shade a while back in Claire's and considered getting it, but I didn't. It's pretty but it sucks that it's not as duochrome as you would hoped it would be.
