My Disappointing Experience with a Lacquer That Fell Short

summarizeEditor's Summary

I was stoked to try out this new gel polish, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The packaging looked sweet, but the product itself was a letdown. The formula was super thin and prone to streaks, and removal was a real pain. I've used better gel polishes from other brands, and I expected more from this one.

My Disappointing Experience with a Lacquer That Fell Short

Hey there, beauty enthusiasts!

I'm usually a fan of gel polishes from brands I know and love, but these two were a surprise gift from someone who wanted to try out a new brand.

Let's just say I was thoroughly unimpressed.

The packaging, brush, and pigmentation all looked great at first glance, and even applied smoothly.

But then I started applying the polish, and it was a different story altogether.

The consistency was pretty much a disaster - it was ridiculously thick and separated in weird, rubbery chunks.

And if that wasn't enough, the polish would start to flake off in these weird, layered chunks after just a day or two.

It was a real pain to clean up, and I had to use my strong 210/105ml acetone to get rid of the flaky mess.

I've had my fair share of gel polish disappointments, but this one takes the cake.

As a beauty enthusiast, I expect a certain level of quality from the products I use, and this lacquer fell woefully short.

Not only was it a pain to apply, but it also looked terrible on my nails.

The finish was dull and uneven, and the color was nothing like the swatches I'd seen online.

I'd say the value for money just isn't there, and it's a risk to your health and your clients' nails.

So, beware - this lacquer isn't worth the risk.

I'd recommend spending a bit more for a quality product that won't harm anyone.

Trust me, these two polishes are going straight in the trash.

live_helpFeatured FAQ

Is this gel polish good for beginners?

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. The formula is tricky to work with, and removal can be a real challenge. I think it's better suited for more experienced nail artists.

Is it easy to remove?

No, it's actually quite difficult to remove. I had to use a lot of effort and some harsh chemicals to get it off, and even then, it left my nails feeling dry and brittle.

How long does the color last?

Unfortunately, it doesn't last very long. I'd say it's about 3-5 days before it starts to chip and fade.

Is it worth the price?

Honestly, no. I think it's overpriced for the quality you get. There are better options out there that are worth the investment.

Can I use it with a base coat?

Yes, you can use it with a base coat, but it doesn't make a huge difference. The formula is still prone to streaks and chipping.

Is it good for nail art?

No, I wouldn't recommend it for nail art. The formula is too thin and prone to streaks, and it's hard to get a clean, even finish.

Can I use it on natural nails?

Yes, you can use it on natural nails, but be careful. The removal process can be harsh, and it may damage your nails if you're not careful.

Is it cruelty-free?

I'm not sure. I couldn't find any information on the brand's website or social media about their cruelty-free policies.
