    Runny!

    Totally agree with VLOnline. These polishes are so runny they leave your nails in a complete mess. They are sheer, so you'll have to apply at least 3 coats to get an opaque color. Even then, the color is so watery that it won't be evenly distributed on the nail. I used this last night in glittery purpleish color. All of the color ran to the bed of my nials making them look like they were bruised. — 4 years ago

    Some gorgeous colours

    But they are waaaaay too sheer. They're cheap, but still not worth the money. — 4 years, 1 month ago

    Decent for its price

    I have this nail polish in a few colors and I must say that it is great considering its cheap price. It's not terrible quality, but it does chip pretty easily. It goes on sheer, so you have to apply at least 2 coats. I always invest in a good chip-proof top coat, and paired with this polish makes it worth way more than what I paid. — 4 years, 1 month ago

    NYC: Long-Wearing or fast-chipping?

    If you are looking for something that doesn't cost much that you don't plan on wearing for a long time, this is a good choice. If you want something to last for days without chipping, this isn't your best bet. Depending on the color, you need at least three coats of polish for the color to come out well. And the polish starts chipping basically hours after applying. This polish is subpar at best. — 4 years, 1 month ago

    Great Cheap Polish!

    I am always skeptical of using cheap products. I rarely ever use drug store brands for ANYTHING! I spend hundreds of dollars on my makeup, hair products, etc. However, I decided to buy this while I was at Target the other day. I figured for the price (under $2!) why not? I am so happy I did. The polish goes on well, but yes, you do need 2 or 3 coats. It stays on way better than my usual Sally Hansen ($5 a bottle) nail polish. I think they have a great color variety as well. Definitely worth trying! — 4 years, 1 month ago

    For the price, okay.

    This product is just okay. I own 3 colors, and the clear top coat. The colors chip off within a few days, and if I apply the top coat over another brand of nail polish, it chips in 2 days. Not great, but for a dollar, it's what you get. But I do recommend this for little kids, because I had a couple when I was younger and just loved them! Don't spend much on youngsters, but I'd say 13+, treat yourself to something a little nicer. =) — 4 years, 1 month ago

    Great for the Price

    I use this polish on fingers and toes. I find it goes on smoothly enough and the color is just as it looks in the bottle. I have a couple of colors and like them both. — 4 years, 2 months ago

    hard to get even layers but great shade

    for some reason i find it very hard to evenly apply coats of this polish. the brush seems a little hard too so that might be why? i have been looking forever for the right shade of pink polish, and i do like the polyester pink, but as others said its a little thin and hard to apply. however once you manage to apply it, it lasts about average length of time, so not too bad. — 4 years, 3 months ago

    at least it's cheap

    I have this in a couple of shades. I love how there is a lot of variety in colors. The price is also really appealing. It's nice to pick something up from the drugstore when I'm low on cash. I leave guilt-free because at $.99, it's no major loss. That said, you pretty much get what you pay for. This isn't particularly durable. Perhaps a base coat and top coat might help with its durability, but who has time for that? It's not terrible nail polish. They have gorgeous colors, are easy to apply, and look good on. The durability would be the greatest issue. — 4 years, 4 months ago

    cheap and messy

    You must take extra time to dry between coats and colors are very sheer and if you use more than 3 coats it gets very thick on the nail. — 4 years, 6 months ago
