CNDVinylux Long Wear Nail Polish (No Lamp Required), 15 ml, Purple Shades

‘Nordic Lights’ is from the CND Vinylux Long Wear Nail Polish System.This polish is listed as a purple glitter shade and this is a very dark red-purple. In the bottle it seems to be packed full of glitter of varying shapes and sizes, on the nail it was a little more sparse with the big pieces of glitter looking a little out of place.I tried to manipulate the glitter onto my nails but it just pulled around and ended up looking uneven. I applied 2 coats, as directed, but the formula was so sheer and the colour so dark it just looked very uneven and streaky.It started to chip almost immediately but as this is a 2 step system and I didn’t apply the Long Wear topcoat (step 2) - which it says ‘must be used for ultimate performance’ - then I can't really complain about its wear time.I was happy to remove this polish - which wasn’t easy due to the glitter pieces being firmly welded to my nails. It did eventually come off with lots and l-o-t-s of rubbing - thankfully there was no damage to my nails!

Vinylux is brilliant! Goes on easily, dries quickly and lasts about a fortnight. And it doesn't chip! Also makes your nails very strong. As good as a gel manicure any day, so worth what initially seems an expensive pricetag for varnish and topcoats. I wont be paying out for nailbar manicures any more, this is a great product.

This is the second Vinylux colour that I've tried, I love them! Both of the colours were a slightly different colour than they appeared in the picture which I would say is the only downfall, but still worth 5 stars! Tango passion is slightly darker and has a shimmer which I personally cannot see in the photo, but still a beautiful colour! The last application of the previous colour lasted 5 days on me, but my hands work hard as I'm constantly washing up, cleaning, doing up zips and poppers for my children etc! I could have gotten away with another day, but I wanted to try this new colour and I had a little bit of tip wear/slight cracking to the top coat, but only I would have noticed that probably! Goes on so smoothly, and dries quickly, I'm sat here painting while my baby is asleep so hopefully she will sleep a full hour! :D

Gorgeous colour...I thought it was a pale grey when I first applied it, then I saw it in the sunlight and it has a beautiful, soft purple tinge to it. It went on beautifully in two coats, and I added the top coat over it for the finishing touch. Would buy again!

I bought this nail polish on my daughter's recommendation, and I can honestly say it is the easiest nail polish I have ever used. It dries quickly, goes on very smoothly and gives a fantastic result. The colour is gorgeous!! No base coat is required, but there is a top coat to apply which makes it extra hard. I hadn't realised so didn't have any, but I will definitely purchase some for next time!

I brought one as my girlfriend was running low looks the exact same as product picture

I love this brand. If applied as recommended it lasts for up to a week. It’s the best varnish I have used and is a vivid lovely colour

Arrived earlier than expected. Beautiful nail polish. gorgeous colour.
