My first thought when using the polish was how easy it was to apply. The brush is the perfect size and the formula isn’t thick or gloopy. I can sometimes make a bit of a mess when doing my nails, but this product was quick and easy to use. Although the brand says that one coat gives a flawless finish, I found that I needed two, as the colour wasn’t strong enough from just one application. That being said, the polish dried really quickly, so applying two coats took me no time at all, and I was so happy with the result.
My favourite thing about these polishes (apart from the price) is that they give that shiny, salon-worthy finish, and a couple of my friends even commented on how good my nails looked. The only downside for me is the lasting power. As someone who is used to gel polish, sometimes I find it frustrating when regular nail polish chips after just one or two days. Although this one lasted a lot longer than other affordable options I’ve tried, it still started chipping after around four to five days, but removing it and applying a fresh coat wasn’t a hassle. Plus, you could definitely make the polish last longer by wearing protective gloves when doing things like washing up or opening parcels.
All in all, I really couldn’t recommend this polish enough if you’re looking for a more affordable way to do your nails this winter. The shade range, the formula and the packaging are such good quality for the price, and although it doesn’t last as long as an in-salon manicure, it’s great for those of you who don’t mind redoing your nails every week or so.
Pros: Affordable, chic packaging, great colour range, easy to apply and beautiful finish
Cons: Doesn’t last that long on the nails and needs a couple of coats.
