Aw, Snap! These New Physicians Formula Endless Color Custom Nail Trios Snap Together

March 4th, 2013 by Karen 11 Comments

Physicians Formula Endless Color Custom Nail Trios
The new Physicians Formula Endless Color Custom Nail Trios ($10.95 each; eight trios available) from the left: In the Nude, Trendsetter Chic, Smokin’ Haute and Fashion Icon

Two things I could do all day, every day…

1. Window shop for cute spring bags

Window shopping in person and online. Just point me toward a window, and I’m there. 🙂 Right now I’ve got my eye on a few things, like…

Poverty Flats by Rian Stripy Hobo
The Poverty Flats by Rian Stripy Hobo ($68), which I LOVE!

2. Paint my nails

I don’t know when it happened, but I turned into one of those gals who paints her nails a different color every single day.

Maybe it’s a phase. 🙂

Who knows? But if you also like to change things up often on your claws, these new Endless Color Custom Nail Trios from Physicians Formula ($10.95 per trio of 0.45-ounce bottles; eight trios to choose from) make that quite fun and easy.

Each of the stackable bottles in these trios snaps together (like Lego) to form a sort of nail polish wand.

When you feel like wearing a different color, SNAP!

No, I mean the bottles snap together. 🙂 Just break apart the wand.

The colors in the trios can be worn alone or layered together to create your own nail art.

So far I’ve gotten my finger into four of the eight trios…

Physicians Formula Endless Color Custom Nail Trio in Fashion Icon
Physicians Formula Endless Color Custom Nail Trio in Fashion Icon: sky blue (three coats), dark green (two coats) and yellow (three coats)


Physicians Formula Endless Color Custom Nail Trio in Trendsetter Chic
Physicians Formula Endless Color Custom Nail Trio in Trendsetter Chic: dark blue (three coats), purple (two coats) and light blue (two coats)

Physicians Formula Endless Color Custom Nail Trio in Smokin' Haute
Physicians Formula Endless Color Custom Nail Trio in Smokin’ Haute: black (two coats), dark red (three coats) and red (three coats)

Physicians Formula Endless Color Custom Nail Trio in In the Nude
Physicians Formula Endless Color Custom Nail Trio in In the Nude: light beige (three coats), rose nude (three coats) and taupe (three coats)

And, first things first, I love a lot about these polishes, like the price, the medium-weight texture (DBP free), quick 5-minute drying time, the high-shine finish and the brush, which lays down smooth, even color.

These are also free of camphor, toluene, formaldehyde, parabens, gluten, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, petrochemicals, pthalates, GMOs and triclosan.

Unfortunately, I also find myself having to do a lot of layering with these polishes — three to reach full opacity, and even then, some of them still look streaky.

Hmm…

I guess I could apply a fourth or even fifth layer, but dang! — who has patience for that?

Cute idea here with the Lego-like wand, but I wish the formula cooperated a bit better.

PRICE: $10.95 for a trio of three 0.45-ounce polishes
AVAILABILITY: Available now at drugstores and also online
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: B-

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Cute idea of stackable bottles! This would probably help a lot in storage. The colors are bright and I love how Fashion Icon and Trendsetter Chic are summer-ready too!

    Love the colors in Fashion Icon, especially the sky blue (I’m currently obsessed with finding the perfect sky blue-coloured items :-)).

    Wow, I JUST ordered the Drew Satchel in the color Salmon by Big Buddha this very morn. I had never even heard of that brand until today. Now that I see you fancy the brand, I know I’m on the right track to looking fly!

    I really like the Big Buddha clutch. Sephora has exact same nail polishes that are stackable and the quality is very good.

    Very cute idea with the Lego stacking but the formulas do look really challenging. I think the nudes could be winners since I’m a fan of sheer nudes. The others, not so much. 🙂

    I see you’re going through a tassle-rific period in purses! Serious question (since I only have one black purse and one brown which are over 15 years old and I plan to keep forever!): do you re-use purses from past years or just get rid of them to make room for new ones?

    I like that nude trio! I have the grey trio, and it’s really pretty – as I remember the quality was quite good, the polishes were not particularly sheer. Around $10 seems kind of high to me though given how small the polishes are – but then again, PF is 40% off pretty frequently!

    The coats would kill me… couldn’t do 3. That’s worth getting a higher end brand right there.

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my two-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my cat (Tabs).
