Visual guide to the types of Nuvo Drop

When I was researching Nuvo Drops for the first time I couldn't find a visual representation of the different types of drop. So I thought I'd make one to help anyone else trying to work out the differences between them.

How to use this guide:

Each Nuvo drop has a square image dedicated to it.

The images contain:

- a close up picture of a fully dried drop

- a photo of the bottle with a dried drop sat on it (to compare colour of wet vs dry)

- a title explaining the type of drop and the particular colour photographed.


'Classic' Crystal/Gloss drops

Gloss Drop


Metallic drops - still called 'Crystal drops' on the bottle, but these have an obviously metallic finish.

Metallic Drop


Jewel Drops - partially transparent finish

Jewel Drop


Vintage Drops - less shiny than regular gloss drops. Often referred to as 'matte' but they do have a slight shine to them. These dry quite a bit darker than they appear in the bottle.

Vintage Drop


Dream Drops - Shiny like Gloss Drops, but with an iridescent finish. The iridescent Mica shows up on black paper, but is sometimes a different colour to the drop itself.

Dream Drop


Glitter Drop - Shiny like Gloss Drops, partially transparent like Jewel Drops, and with glitter inside.

Glitter Drop

Stone Drops - thicker than other kinds of Nuvo Drop, with an obviously gritty/textured finish.

I hope this guide is helpful in understanding the varying finishes of the different kinds of Nuvo Drop!
