I bought these
during my Boots Haul last week. They were on offer - 2 for €6.50 or €3.99 each,
so obviously I had to buy the two. I love gel effect nails so I was excited to
try these, I had tried the Models Own Hypergel polish and wasn’t impressed at
all so the fact that these where much cheaper than the Models Own I my
expectations weren’t too high but still optimistic at the same time.

I love the brush, it’s
wide and gets the full nail pretty much on one swipe a bit like the Rimmel 60
Seconds nail polish or the YSL polishes, I hate really thin brushes they never
work the way I want them too.
Firstly as a
beauty blogger I want to try everything at once and as I’ve had Shellac on for
so long I couldn’t wait to get my nails painted and polished again so I put one
colour on each hand.
On my left hand I
tried Vixen Red, from the bottle it looks like a deep burgundy red but when
applied it has more of a plum hew to it. With the application I applied two
coats to get a full colour, one coat was too thin. With this hand I applied a
top coat when I was finished and the drying time was very short, it almost
instantly dried to touch but it needed a short few minutes before it was fully
dry. I love these kinds of colours especially for the autumn.
After over a week’s
wear the red had hardly chipped other than looking a bit dull around the tip of
the nail.

On my right hand
I had the colour Raspberry, it’s like a hot pink but a little darker another
one of my favourite colours but this one is more suited for the summer. On this
hand I didn’t put any top coat on just to see if it made any difference having
it with or without it. Again after a week there is literally just one obvious
chip and a little dulling around the tip of the nails.
The application
on the colour was much better than the Vixen Red, the colour is thick enough and
only needed one coat but I put two on just for luck.
Only one obvious chip after a full week |
I’m so impressed
by these polishes, they have a high shine that has stayed for the week, no
chipping with or without a top coat and they are a bargain at only €3.99. They
look more like a normal polish on the nails rather than having gel on the nail
but I’ll let that slide as the overall quality is really good.
Thanks for
