Summary:
See those nails? Have a close look. The polish hasn’t been applied exceptionally well, but when do you think I painted them? Just before taking the pictures? A day or 2 afterwards? Well, you’re wrong. I painted them 9 days ago. And I haven’t topped them up since – even with top coat. Amazed? So am I. The L’Oréal Paris Color Riche nail varnish are what a beauty blogger’s dreams are made of!
It’s not even like I applied the nail polish in a different to usual – I did the standard layer of base coat, then 2 of the nail polish and topped that off with top coat, and that’s it (I recommend the Barry M All in One top and base coat). I left my nails as they were, expecting them to chip over time but so far they haven’t and I’m so impressed! In fact, I don’t think I have found anything I don’t like about this polish because it doesn’t conform with any of my usual gripes:
- It dries really quickly, even after applying the second coat. You can expect dry nails within a couple of minutes which won’t smudge.
- The polish applies exceptionally smoothly because it isn’t too thin or thick. Although I prefer 2 coats, 1 coat still gives a really good covering.
- The applicator itself is wide so application is quick and neat.
- The finish is incredible smooth, both to touch and visually. It’s slightly plastic-y so it won’t chip, yet it won’t just peel off like Nails Inc or B nail polishes.
- There aren’t any clumps, lumps or bubbles.
- It isn’t ridiculously expensive. It’s £4.99 for 5ml so it’s a small bottle, but that stops it drying out before I finish it.
- I like the long tube because it’s surprisingly ergonomic, but also ensures that the brush is always coated in polish.
So as you can probably tell, I’m super keen on this nail polish. I would totally recommend it, especially as there is a good range of available colours. The one above is called 305 Dating Coral, and I reckon it’ll be the first of many I’ll be buying!
