Not The Best.
TWMichello (160 reviews)

So I bought this nail polish from Target for only $1 and it's a good deal for it's quality. i love love love the color, it's so fun and pretty. Butttt it starting chipping 4 hours later! I wasn't doing anything extreme, just hanging out with my friends and they chipped! I gave it its time to dry too so idky it chipped. But since i loved the color and how cheap it was i have to say it wasn't a complete waste of money. I definitely recommend this to people who love bright colors and change it up often, not to people who want long lasting results. And until i find a not expensive brand of nail polish that have bright colors and last long, i will keep buying NYC nail polish. Sheer, pearlescent, glittery pink! So girly, so pretty! Very even colour even with the first coat. But I find the best way to wear it is to double coat it and then use the NYC Extra Shiny Top Coat. My choice of pink when I do a French. Will repurchase. Excellent value. Dirt cheap. I usually don't like glittery nail polishes but I tested it on my nail while in the store and it went on smoothly. There were no streaks. One coat was all it took and the glittery effect is subtle...which I like. Nails look healthy. Can't beat the price. — 4 months ago

didn't like it

this didn't spread on too well and it chipped off very easily. The color fades fast too. — 1 year, 2 months ago

Just Bad
TheLacqueredLady (588 reviews)

This is an awful product. I have tried several shades and they were all terribly watery. They all chipped within one hour of wear. I know the brand is inexpensive, but I regretted spending the dollar. — 10 months, 2 weeks ago

If you do your nails correctly and take the time with putting on the coats, the polish will last you a while. — 4 years, 3 months ago

Help Me! I'm Melting!
Starluxe (298 reviews)

If you can find a shade to be perfect to go on with one coating then great for you. I find that the colors aren't so true to life as they are so sheer out of the bottle. And layering them on causes a disaster because they take forever to dry and once it's touched, it appears to be a melted looking mess on your nail surfaces. Two hours later out of the shower, I find that the nail polish had already chipped, what a waste of time, right? The clear and translucent nudes are perfect for one or two applications of a sheer even coat but even those don't last past a couple days. I wasn't happy at all with this. — 4 years ago

bad
venenumletalis (86 reviews)

I bought this polish in fuchsia shock creme, didn't expect much for the price, but it managed to disappoint me anyway. I don't know, maybe sparkly and glittery polishes from this line last longer, but this particular enamel started chipping after less than an hour (I was not doing any housework or things like that) Not good at all, better to add a dollar or 2 and buy a nice sally hansen polish — 1 year, 4 months ago

Worst nail polish ever.
RavenLoudspeakr (270 reviews)

This is the epitome of cheap and poor quality. I tried more than one colour because it was only a dollar a pop, but it always came on liquidy and melty. The colour was so watered down it would not even stay on my nail bed and run off the sides into my cuticles. It took multiple coats to get any tangible colour, and it was not "long-wearing" whatsoever. Do yourself and favor and save that dollar for something else. — 3 years, 9 months ago
