Advantages: Cheap, Shiny/Bright Colours, Dries Quickly

Disadvantages: Chips, Limited Colour Selection

As someone who cannot stay still for long, I have at best, minimal patience when it comes to nail varnish. However I was tempted by this product as it promised me, "1 stroke, 1 coat, 1 minute drying time". It retails at around £2, which is a great price and comes in 26 different shades.

I chose "819- Green With Envy", which is a really shiny green, almost teal colour. I love it, the colours are great for wearing out, and this particular shade has the bonus of not highlighting the slight redness of my fingertips. It was easy to apply- it wasn't too runny or messy, and one coat was all that was needed for decent coverage. It also really did dry quickly, which meant I didn't have time to get bored or forget about it, subsequently making a mess- which was was great.

One negative would be that the range of shades is quite limited- there's only 26, and out of those there are an awful lot of pink and purple hues. Some orange, yellows and greens would be nice. I also noticed that the nail varnish chipped quite easily. Since then, I have applied a top layer of clear polish and this seems to have resolved the issue fairly well.

Summary: I would be tempted to buy this in a few more shades, but it's not perfect.
