Advantages: Nice colour and well priced
Disadvantages: It does not last up to 5 days, 2 maximum!
A good product to have in your make up bag if you want to create French manicured style nails.
The packaging is pretty average. Nothing fancy its plain and simple and does what it says on the label. Its not one of the most pretty nail polish bottles but for the price I don't think you would expect that!
Price £3.99 is reasonable. Many of the larger retailers like Boots and Superdrug have 3 for 2 offers which means you can get this and the white tip varnish and a top coat for less than £8 which is a bargain!!
Claims- First of all the nail varnish does not last 5 days without chipping. Probably 2 if you are lucky but for the price you cannot expect anything else. A number of similar products from other brands claim similar and they also do not live out their claims so this product isn't a one off. The only nail polish that lives up to its claims is Channel polishes and you are looking at £17 per bottle!!
Look- the nail polish is a nice colour. The French rose colour is a natural looking pink colour which looks fresh and not a dirty pink colour like some of its competitors. The polish is not as shiny as its competitors and if you do want glossy looking nails then you will need a decent topcoat to achieve really glossy nails.
It's a pretty average product which achieves the French manicured nail look. It doesn't last 5 day without chipping like claimed.
Summary: A standard nail polish to achieve a standard French manicure look
