It was a nice surprise to get this in the mail, and I was very excited to try it as my nail polish normally only lasts about a day between chasing around my kids and with the job I work. I applied one coat of polish because I was in a rush so it looked horrible - you definitely need 2 or more coats. I then applied the top coat which looked nice and dried super fast. The next morning though it started to peel off. I am unsure if I did something wrong or what but I was not impressed at all!
When I received the CND polish and top coat in the mail I was thrilled. I wanted to try these products for a while now but wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the money if I was not sure it was going to work as advertised.
The polish I received was a beautiful green grey color.
I decided to really put it to the test at work as I work in an office and am constantly typing or filing, which both are very hard on any manicure, normally my polish is chipping the first day and that means I have to re-touch every day to keep it fresh.
So here we go, day 1, all is well so far, the polish was easy to apply, and dried fairly quickly, then came the topcoat, it also applied very well and dried quickly.
day 2, still looks good although not as shiny as day 1.
day 3, My dominant hand polish is starting to wear and slightly chip.
day 4, Still chipping, but still lasting longer then regular polish for me.
day 5, Ok now it has chipped enough for me to have to reapply the tips as they are very noticeable.
Overall impression:
It didn't last as long as stated, but overall not too bad. Dulls after a couple days, wish it would have stayed as shiny as the first day. The color is nice and the polish and topcoat easy to apply. But, I am not so sure I would pay the price for this polish when in my opinion it is only slightly better than regular polish.
If money were no object I would likely purchase more of these polishes.
I have now purchased another color of this polish. Maybe it was just the color but this pretty blue seems to be staying on much longer then the green did. Although I have put another coat of topcoat on the manicure every other day, so maybe that is also helping.
Guess I will be purchasing more!
I was so looking forward to trying this product, but in less than a day, it had already chipped! The instructions say to apply 2 thin coats of polish followed by the top coat; however, the nail polish itself requires more than 2 coats in order to obtain the true colour. If you follow the instructions and just apply 2 thin coats, the colour ends up translucent. The way it dries is also a bit odd, in that it ends up with a matte-like finish. After applying the top coat, it does obtain a shiny finish though.
Not even 6 hours after I applied the polish and top coat, I already had multiple chips while conducting 'everyday' activities such as washing the dishes, typing, etc.
I had high expectations of this product, but unfortunately it did not live up to its promise. I did try to retouch the chipped spots and I will see how long it lasts this time...
The product I like me but I me do not last very much in my nails. I am charmed with the painting .. the colors. I believe that others to buy if I do not find another
