Hello lovelies,

Today I'll be reviewing three CND VINYLUX™ polishes. I have tried CND polishes in the past and was happy with them (especially with the Effects) but the Vinylux range is completely new to me.

About CND VINYLUX™ Weekly Polish System:

• VINYLUX™ is a revolutionary weekly polish system offering durable, high-shine and week-long wear
• Innovative system includes a self-adhering colour coat that eliminates the need for base coat, and a top coat that becomes more durable when exposed to natural light to ensure no chipping or scratching for at least one week
• In consumer testing of hundreds of manicures, more than 80 percent of clients had no chipping after seven days
• VINYLUX™ dries completely in just eight and a half minutes compared to standard nail polish that dries in 15-20 minutes on average

Sounds interesting right? So let's check out some colours..

Daring Escape - medium blue green/teal with silver shimmer. I find this shade to be very interesting colour-wise and the silver shimmer adds certain depth to it. It applied well and two regular coats provided perfect coverage. The drying time was fast but I did apply topcoat as well.

 

 

 

 

 


Decadence - dark red half-jelly, half creme red. This is the colour for me, I love vampy reds and even better when they are jelly-ish! The formula was good with jelly qualities (or rather disadvantages) - it applied well, dried rather average but the pigmentation wasn't perfect. I am wearing two coats which provided very good coverage but it's not 100%.

 

 

 


Tutti Frutti - fuchsia pink base with blue shimmer.Perfect Summer shade, that's what I think!  The pink is bright, shimmery and fun. The formula was on a thick side which caused the application to be a bit difficult but not impossible to manage. The pigmentation was very good and two coats were fully opaque. It dried average to fast and I have used topcoat.

 

 

 





I've applied the CND VINYLUX™ Weekly Top Coat over each colour. The formula is fast drying and nice flowing, it's not thick as Seche Vite.

 

 

 

 


Overall, the polishes proved to be a very good quality. I didn't wear any of them longer than 4 days but they did indeed lasted for those four days without chipping, maybe the topcoat helped as well. My absolute favourite is Decadence because I just love that colour!

CND polishes can be purchased at your local nail salon, just visit www.lovecnd.com, fill in your postcode and find the nearest salon.

Hello lovelies,

I've had a chance to swatch few more gorgeous Cadillacquer polishes from lovely Madeleine! Today I'll show you three shades, each is different and pretty in its own way :) If you've missed previous Cadillacquer swatches, view them here.

Bring On The Night - black jelly base with emerald green glitter and with just a hint of magenta specks. I find the shade quite unique as usually I see black base paired with blue or red glitter. The polish itself is not very opaque and I think I would need three thicker coats for full coverage so I've layered it. I've applied one coat over A England Camelot. Application was easy and the polish dried fast.

Effervescent - warm orange jelly base with blue iridescent particles and pearl white glitter. Imagine warm beach sand, sea and sunset...that's what I think of when I see this polish. The orange has red undertones making it really warm and pretty. It has white pearl glitter that is coloured by the orange jelly. I'm wearing two thicker coats.

Once More, With Feeling - lavender blue sheer jelly with magenta shimmer and white and pink square glitter. Another pretty combination for the lovers of blue shades. It applied very easily and I'm wearing two thicker coats. They dried average to fast but a bit gritty so I needed to apply topcoat.

All three polishes had nice formula but were a little bit sheerer than I would have expected. Each bottle of Cadillacquer has 15ml and black ridged cap that makes opening the bottles easy.  

You can purchase Cadillacquer polishes in Madeleine's Etsy store and they are also available at Harlow & Co. Polishes are priced between $12-14 and international shipping is available. Stay up to date at Cadillacquer Facebook page
