Payless Shoes Nail Polishes - Brash and Unforgettable Moments Swatches

I picked up almost all of the two lines of polish, Brash and Unforgettable Moments, that my local Payless Shoes is carrying a few weeks ago and I'm just getting around to swatching. And yes, I'm cheating. Nail Wheel Swatchfest.

Without further ado...

Unforgettable Moments:



Brash:


















Overall, they're not great and not horrible. Price point $2.50 - $3.50.

There are a couple of standouts though!

Unforgettable Moments Grape Grey (in the 1st photo) is a dupe for China Glaze Below Deck and it's a creme with decent application. China Glaze formula is better, I think, but this one's not bad.

Unforgettable Moments Sparkling Turquoise in the (1st and 2nd photos) has good application/formula and is a pretty, stand-out color.

Brash, overall, seems to be the better line of the two. One through 5 on the nail wheel all have good application and are fairly unique. I'll wear them.


Sergeant Khaki is close to Rimmel Rags to Riches, but without the frostiness. I like it!

Toxic Purple (2 on the wheel) reads royal purple/royal blue, depending on the lighting and has a good shimmer.

Plum Buzz (3 on the wheel) was the hardest to photograph accurately, and I still haven't managed to do it. It's really a stand-out in person.

Midnight Spark (5 on the wheel) is a great deep navy creme with subtle blue micro-shimmer. Decent application.

Metal Orchid (10 on the wheel) isn't one I'll probably wear, but it really REALLY reminds me of Gosh Gasoline. I'm not calling it a dupe, but they're close in formula and appearance. I didn't like Gosh Gasoline.

Each one obviously needs to be judged individually because there really is no consistency in formula in either brand. (The bumps you see in some photos are from me not waiting long enough between coats.)

If I had it to do over, I'd probably still get Brash Plum Buzz, Sergeant Khaki and maybe Midnight Spark and Unforgettable Moments Sparkling Turquoise.

Polish is EVERYWHERE now!

Will you be getting any of these? Have you already?
