Review (5/5): OMG! I'm in LOVE!!!
Ok...I'm going to try to not write a novel here, but I am sooo in love with these polishes!!! I read a ton on reviews on these peel off polishes and finally chose these not expecting a whole lot. I have 100% no complaints!!! But I will say that I guess it all depends on what you are wanting out of your nail polish. If you are wanting it to last like it lasts on artificial nails... this is not for you. If you are wanting options and to not have to deal with nail polish remover...THIS IS FOR YOU!!!
I have loved painting my nails and having polished nails since a kid. I've always hated nail polish remover. I have thin nails and can't change my polish often because nail polish remover dries my nails out and makes them even weaker and it stinks...even nail polish stinks for that matter.
To make the polish last I've always added a top coat about every day or two and I've learned how to do touch ups that hardly show when the polish on tip of the nail (natural nails) chipped or wore away, so that I didn't have to use acetone any more often than necessary. But it was really self defeating because the more polish I had on, the more acetone I had to use to remove it.
So anyway...I got these little gems in...they are small....but then again, when you compare the price to buying regular polish ( I buy OPI normally ) and the fact that you are getting several colors of these for the price you'd pay for 1 or 2 bottles of decent regular polish, it's not a bad deal at all.
I tried them right away and
#1...they are hardly smell at all! I don't smell them unless I actually hold my nails or the bottle to my nose to smell them.
#2...the polish went on fine. It's a little thick, but it settles down smooth as it dries.
#3 I love some of the colors and some will be just for having fun, but they are fun t play with. 5 colors are opaque and 4 are transparent, so they are fun mixing and matching. I like using the transparent ones as top coats on the opaque ones.
#4 They lasted about 3 days with no chips and very very little edge wear (with the daily addition of a top coat for shine) until I couldn't stand it any longer and had to try to peel them off. Some of the reviews said they were hard to peel off, but I had no problem at all. And all but one came off in one full piece! Amazing!!! So easy and NO ACETONE!!! And the other thing I like is that with regular polish, I would sometimes try and peel of as much as I could before using the acetone and some would come off but my nail always seemed super dry under the polish even when it was peeled off. That is not the case with these at all. My nails were not dry at all. They were still healthy and not dry at all!!!
Oh and the BONUS ....since they peel off, any polish that gets on to your skin peels off easy too after it dries. :)
