This week’s Monday Mani is a nail polish by Nature Republic in 16. I’m not too sure on the shade name, the sticky label at the back is written in Korean. After researching this polish on google, turns out this is actually a gel nail polish. Nature Republic is a South Korean cosmetic brand. My friend recently came back from Hawaii and bought this for me as a gift. There were a few stores in Taiwan but I didn’t get a chance to go in so I’m pretty chuffed my bud brought this back for me.
Here’s a bit about Nature Republic and I took this off the Visit Korea website:
Nature Republic is a cosmetic brand that focuses on promoting a healthy lifestyle to modern customers through its natural cosmetics. It offers diverse products ranging from skin care to body and hair care. All products contain natural ingredients.
The consistency of this gel polish is not too thin or thick, pretty much the same consistency as a normal nail polish. The only difference is once it’s applied, it looks ultra shiny. You don’t need a UV lamp with this gel polish which is awesome. Might I add it also dries really quickly too. I applied two coats and it was fully dried within 20 mins.
This pink shade looks really lovely on. I can tell you the photo below doesn’t do it any justice. After 5 days, the polish started chipping slightly but still very wearable.
Here I’ve used one coat of Orly Bonder, two coats of Nature Republic in 16 and one coat of Sally Hansen Diamond Flash top coat. Overall, I have really enjoyed using this polish. The formula, wear and consistency was great.
What’s your favorite nail polish colour?
