So, I'm trying to think up some new, interesting, helpful blogs and came up with this idea. Basically, all my blogs are based off YouTube videos, but instead, I turn them into blogs. So I've seen the products I wouldn't repurchase, but I don't have too many. Then I got thinking, I have a LOT of nail polish. What if I do a nail polishes I wouldn't repurchase? I DO have pictures for each. I'll give an exact price or price range for the polishes. I buy most of mine from Target or Ulta, so prices are for those stores at the time I bought them. If I can't remember an exact price, I'll try to put in a price range! :) I'll try to go in order by brand, and price (Lowest to highest)!
Brand: Sinful Colors
Price: $1.99
Color: Snow Me White
Pros: Covers well with 1 coat, glossy finish
Cons: Dries up quickly, not good quality etc.
So, I guess this is where the saying 'You get what you pay for' comes into mind. I shouldn't have expected much from a $2 polish. I might have just gotten a bad bottle, but I've only had this one for about a month (Maybe less) and it's thick and slimy. I have nail polishes that are 5 years old that aren't in as bad condition as this one. Not impressed at ALL
Brand: Sinful Colors
Price: $1.99
Color: 24/7
Pros: True to color
Cons: Dries up quick, not good quality, neon-ness goes away after awhile, dries matte
Once again, a Sinful Colors nail polish. I guess this brand and I just don't get along. My opinion on this one is the same as above...
Brand: Sinful Colors
Price: $1.99
Color: Rise And Shine
Pros: -
Cons:Matte finish, Not good quality
Pretty much the standard review. Luckily, this one hasn't dried up after 1 month. It's just ugh. No, don't waste your money.
Price: East Village
Color: $1-2
Pros: Dries quick
Cons: SHEER, Color on nails is not the same as in the bottle, low quality
I saw an OPI polish at Sephora that was kind of a peacock color, but didn't want to spend $8 that day, so I went to Target to find a cheaper look-alike. Wow, biggest... Mistake... Ever! I was psyched to find this color that was almost identical! I got home and put it on my nails to be disappointed more than I've ever been with a nail polish. It is so sheer it looks like a glittery blue-ish water that I put on my nails. You can't even layer it over another polish because it doesn't show up. It DOES dry 'In a New York Minute' as it states on the bottle. Highly disappointed with this polish. Don't waste your money.
Price: $6-8
Color: Blue's Cruise
Pros: -
Cons: Sheer, color is different than in the bottle, expensive for such low quality
I got 4 ulta nail polishes on the same day, this was one of them. All the others are wonderful and perfect. For whatever reason, this one is a jelly (sheer) polish and doesn't show up good and is a PAIN to get off. Definitely NOT worth the money.
Brand: Claire's
Price: ??
Color: Flashy
Pros: Neon
Cons: Matte finish, ships easily (Within the day), low quality
So, I already think Claire's is overrated and is WAY to expensive for everything being so low quality (My personal experience/opinion) but this was a birthday present a couple years back (We are no longer friends which is why I felt is was okay to include this) The color is so pretty and I was really excited to try it out, but when I did, it dried matte (Strike 1), then it chipped that SAME day (strike 2) and dried up within the month. (strike 3) One more overly expensive low quality item from Claire's. Again, it could've been a bad bottle, but I honestly don't think it was.
Price: $8
Color: Lightning Bolt
Pros: High Quality
Cons: Doesn't crackle right...
Okay, I don't know if this is a stupid thing to include because it "Doesn't crackle right". From the pictures I've seen of crackle nail polish, it looks so cool! I tried adding a thick and thin layer of the polish and for whatever reason it didn't crackle right! Like it barely did and it was just little tiny lines. Like 3 tiny lines. Is that normal? Luckily I got this polish on sale for like $5. I'll probably end up giving it to a friend (Along with a million other nail polishes I don't like/want)
Price: $8.50-9
Color: Wear something Spar-Kylie (KARDASHIAN KOLLECTION)
Pros: -
Cons: Chips easy, thick, hard to apply,hard to remove, no use
The cons sound rather harsh, I'm sorry. It's only the truth. I was psyched to find this because I'm obsessed with Keeping Up With The Kardashians (Every Sunday night at 8!) I got this as well as another polish. The other one (Kim-Pletely in Love) I adore. It is so pretty and high quality. This one, is a WHOLE other story. Its so thick you can't use it as a glitter over another polish, you need a finger COMPLETELY glitter -Which we all know is a pain to take off- but then, after one day (Sometimes less) THE ENTIRE NAIL POLISH FALLS OFF!! Like all the nail polish on that finger, just peels or falls off. WHAT?! So I've tried it multiple times thinking it was just something I did wrong. Nope, it's just how the polish works. Not impressed Kylie...
So I hope this blog helped someone out there who was debating on whether or not to buy any of these nail polishes. Keep in mind, these are all MY opinions based on MY experiences with these polishes. Your experience or opinion might be different, and that's okay.
