BBcouture Nail polish review
So this past week Ive been reviewing something you all know i love, nail polish!!! BBcouture contacted me to do a review on their polishes, which i was thrilled to do. I've been testing out wear and tear, application etc. Their nail polishes contain no Toluene, Formaldehyde and DBP, which is something i look in nail polishes, girls look out for old OPI and some drugstore brands which will contain these! A honest review...
After taking forever to pick 4 colours of my choice, i chose from left to right, Balboa beach bunny, Sea of cortez, Zuma wave rider and Laguna lagoon.Wear and Tear
These polishes don't need a base coat or topcoat, personally i prefer using a basecoat/topcoat. But for the purpose of the review i wore the polish alone. These for me, last alot longer compared to OPI and most of my nail polishes, which chip within one or two days!! The polish started to chip slightly after 3 days which is good on my nails! It also contains a nail strengthener/hardener and my nails definitely feel stronger than before!
Creme based polishes
Zuma wave rider, is my favourite out of bunch, its perfect application and creaminess. I love how simple and pretty it looks. The polish is creme based and i used 3 applications like most nail polishes, which gives it an all over even look and really just finishes it off! The colour is a light light almost cornflower in tone with a hint of dove grey
Laguna Lagoon, is well my least favourite out of the bunch for a few reasons. One its application is a difficult child compared zuma wave rider, it tends to drag at the nail bed until the 3rd coat. The colour is a mint pastel green which does look a little glow in the dark on me! however it doesn't on my sister!
Jelly Base polishes
Sea of cortez, well i refer to this as the mermaid polish, it really is a mermaid blue with glitter! This and zuma wave rider are my faves of the bunch. I love this polish for a number of reasons , the polish is a jelly which is one of my favourite along with creme to work with. I also love the high glitter content is simply stunning, little flecks of green.
Balboa beach bunny, this little number was a pain to get a picture. Its dark grape, with a high sheen and slight glitter. With this polish i only needed 2 coats like recommended, but 3 coats really makes it special. Like the Sea of cortez, its jelly like substance, applies flawlessly like the others.
I love these nail polishes!! if you couldn't tell, i prefer the formula of bbcouture's polishes over OPI, due to the longer lasting. now if only bbcouture could bring out a banana coloured polish, a bubblegum pink and orangesicle polish i would be in heaven!!
