New Year’s manicure, Red nail polish, reviews

– I rarely use nail polishes, and most often these situations arise when you need to test something for a material. I have known Anny for a long time, and last time the top coating of a cosmetic brand pleased with its finish shine.

Expectations: from nail polish I expect durability … at least in two days! How many disappointments were brought by multiple varnishes, especially when you diligently draw a smile for a French manicure, and a day after a shower, a chipped nail remains.

Reality: there are more than 100 colors of varnishes in the ANNY brand, so even among the red shades you can get confused. I got the most classic red: the product from a wide brush covers the nail in one stroke and, which is nice, does not leave streaks. So, a layer of varnish and no top (we are for honest estimates) lasted 4 days! Varnishes, which in daily wear, when cooking, washing dishes and taking a bath, do not exist anymore. I am happy with the nail polish and I think this is the best choice for New Year’s Eve, when there are less than 10 minutes left for a manicure.

How quickly it dries: 2 minutes – and you can go and play snowballs.

Rating: 9 from 10… I’m waiting for you, a varnish that will dry in 30 seconds and last for 2 weeks, like a gel polish!

– Many girls think that walking with one varnish for a long time is boring, but I now dream that the varnish will last at least 3 days on my nails! Shellac is an expensive pleasure, and therefore VINYLUX varnishes, which last seven days on nails, are considered an excellent alternative. Any girl can afford to buy this product.

Expectations: from the very beginning, I did not flatter myself about the ability of the varnish to remain in perfect condition on the nails for a whole week. And its price is very impressive, more than 500 rubles per bottle. This, you know, is a lot, considering that varnishes on my nails do not last more than two days.

Reality: it is applied, like Shellac, in three layers, the only difference is that you do not need to dry it in a lamp. Their consistency is excellent, the golden mean. Not too thick, but not runny either. The color density is also good, it fits perfectly. The durability is high. Really lasts at least 6 days.

How quickly it dries: dries up pretty quickly. This is a big plus, as I often paint my nails before bed. No prints of hair, linen, or just loose paint. None! Is that the condition – you need to do this well, at least an hour before the event.

Evaluation: 10 out of 10 for toughness.

– A beautiful manicure, in my opinion, is an integral part of a well-groomed image. Unfortunately, lately I rarely use colored varnish (I prefer the classic form of nails and a transparent coating), however, it happens that I hold my eyes on the interlocutor’s hands, especially if I see a neat manicure. I just love the rich scarlet color, but this particular shade is incredibly difficult to apply at home. This time, for testing, I got a varnish from Orly, which, of course, I am familiar with, I have long had my favorites among varnishes of this brand.

Expectation: I, of course, understood that it is difficult to get a salon manicure at home and the result will be the same, but everything turned out to be very good!

Reality: the varnish is quite thick, is in a convenient 18 ml bottle and has an incredibly rich color. A convenient thin brush allows you to paint over the entire nail plate as accurately as possible. The product is easy to apply, does not spread and even after the first application does not leave bald spots (one layer is quite enough). I applied varnish on a colorless base, and on top covered with a layer of topcoat. As a result, my nails shone as if I had just done a spa manicure.

In terms of durability, the product also did not disappoint – the varnish adhered perfectly to my thin nails for about a week and did not even crack.

Cons, of course, were also found. It turned out that it is not so easy to get rid of the remedy! Despite the fact that I applied the varnish on a colorless base, it was difficult to remove, leaving blood-red stains on my fingers.

How quickly it dries: while I varnished my nails on one hand, the other was completely dry. However, for a better fixation of the result, I tried not to touch anything for another 10 minutes, so as not to spoil the manicure.

Evaluation: 8 out of 10. I take two points precisely because it turned out to be not such an easy task to remove the product from the nails!

– I love to do my own manicure: I have a whole collection of varnishes in dark and red shades. I am glad that now it has been replenished with an unusual piece from Lancome.

Expectations: Vernis In Love is equipped with a comfortable wide flat brush. For me, this shape is optimal, since the nail plate is quite wide. The manufacturer promises that this brush gives “neat and crisp results.” In addition, the description indicates that the color is long-lasting and shining.

Result: the photo does not convey all the charm and beauty of the Miss Coquelicot shade. Here he rather goes into fuchsia, but in fact he is still more associated with the classic scarlet. It is very convenient to apply varnish using the comfortable flat brush, which I mentioned above. I did not find any difficulties in the process of creating a manicure. Vernis In Love lays down smoothly, without surprises. At the same time, the color is very bright, a glossy shine remains on the nails, which is a plus for me personally, since sometimes I am too lazy to apply a top coat.

How quickly it dries: it dries, like any other ordinary varnish, for 5-10 minutes, but I stand it for 15 to be sure.

Rating: 10 out of 10. Excellent varnish in a beautiful, very feminine shade.

– Any girl knows that a beautiful manicure plays an important role in creating a stylish look. Therefore, it is so important to choose the right color, which will become the final accent. Classic red is the perfect shade that I think looks great on both short and long nails of any shape. This time my “experimental” was a product of the OPI brand, which used to be my undoubted favorite. Honestly, from testing, I have a double impression.

Expectation: I would like the product to be perfect – easy and even to apply, dry quickly. Alas, I have not yet come across such a wonderful product.

Reality: I used to be crazy about this brand. In my arsenal were, perhaps, all shades released by this brand. As soon as a new product appeared, I immediately rushed to buy it. However, over time, my attitude towards the products of this brand has changed. But first things first.

To begin with, the product comes in a convenient 15 ml bottle and has a stunning deep red color. It seems to me that such a shade, like scarlet lipstick, should be in the collection of every girl!

The texture of the varnish is quite liquid, gives a glossy finish, and therefore it is possible not to use a topcoat. A convenient brush allows you to apply the product quite accurately, but you need to make sure that the varnish does not spread.

Unfortunately, application in one layer is not enough, the varnish is translucent. I had to apply several layers to achieve the desired color saturation.

In addition, the varnish lasts about three days without chips, and then requires updating the manicure. Another important point: it must be applied to the base, otherwise it eats into the nail plate.

How quickly it dries: the product dries on nails for a long time, even with the use of a special drying agent.

Evaluation: 7 out of 10. I take off points for the fact that the varnish stays on the nails for a maximum of 3 days, and then chips appear.
