CND Vinylux Longwear Red Nail Polish, Gel-like Shine & Chip Resistant Color, 0.5 Fl Oz

I've worn acrylics for decades, but after the pandemic imposed a nearly two-year break from having a full set, my manicurist and I were perplexed that the nail powder and tips were not adhering to my nails for longer than a few days. In an attempt to give me the same look as the acrylics, we decided to try using gel nail polish with the acrylics to see if the full set would adhere longer.The good news is that it worked. My acrylics lasted longer and didn't start lifting just days after service.But the bad news? After a few days, my cuticles started bleeding and the skin on my fingertips started to crack and peel. It was so painful that I couldn't type without pain -- which at the time was detrimental because I was on deadline to finish a book manuscript and literally lost weeks while figuring out what was wrong.I saw a dermatologist and learned that I was severely allergic to two chemicals used in gel nail polish. So we removed the polish and the acrylics and I went natural while my fingers and nails healed.The next problem was to find a brand of polish that was safe to use. I'd tried a few brands of 7-free and 10-free polish, and while I liked them, they took forever to dry and didn't last very long.Enter CND and its amazing Vinylux line of polishes, with no base coat needed. Two coats of color and one top coat and you're good to go! And the best yet? It dries super fast! I still have a bit of chipping after a few days - mostly my own fault because I forget to wear gloves while doing dishes sometimes - but otherwise I am quite happy with this brand. I've got three colors that I love, and several more on my wish list. Highly recommended!

I love this polish! I do my own pedicure at the beginning of summer and maybe touch up with another coat once or twice before fall. It wears like iron. In fact it takes some soaking with remover to get it off. The best part, it dries really fast-no smudging my toes after the putsy pedicure process anymore!

I bought this because I wanted something to last a week without coming off that I dont have to use a light with or soak off. After reading some reviews, it seemed like this might do the trick, but as you see in the Photo it is starting to chip and this is after four days. I put two coats of color on with a topcoat as instructed. It’s hard to see from the photos, but each color could’ve used at least one more coat and the topcoat would’ve been better with two coats. so in total, we’re talking at least five coats to look perfect and with only three coats it looks thin and doesn’t last more than 3 1/2 to 4 days before it starts chipping in wearing. So I wouldn’t say it’s extraordinary. It does dry very fast so I do like that about it but that’s about the only thing that makes it stand out from regular polish. I will use CND shellac but alternate with this so I can cut down my exposure to harmful UV light.

She likes how long it lasts.

Original review: I love this polish and the color Wildfire is gorgeous. It's my absolute favorite. If you like red, then this is your color. I get a lot of compliments whenever I wear it. The color goes with everything and my manicure lasts much longer than with the common store brands of regular nail polish. I love that it doesn't require a base coat. It goes on fast and smooth! It comes off easily with acetone and doesn't leave a mess on my skin.Updated 2/20/21 to attach two photos of the color Asphalt because Amazon won't let me review each individual color I purchased. Gotta hate that silly rule! Anyway, Asphalt is a gorgeous gray. It's a real beauty. I absolutely love it! I'll be back with another update when I try the other colors I bought.3/8/21 - updated to add a picture of my French manicure using Negligee as my base and Studio White on my tips. I painted the tips free style without using tape or strips because I like the natural (not absolutely perfect) look it gives the tips. I covered the entire nail with another coat of Negligee after I painted the tips. The colors go beautifully together and I love the clean, natural look.9/17/22 Updated to add pictures of Brick Knit. It's a great fall color and it's very shiny. No base. Two coats of polish. One topcoat (Vinylux CND). Polished and dried in 20 minutes.9/26/22 Updated to add pictures of Hollywood. It's like wearing Wildfire with little sparks.1/28/23 updated with pictures of Kiss Of Fire that were taken in different lighting. It really pops and brightens when the light hits it. Very pretty and easy to paint on. I used sticky base under and the suggested topcoat over. Dried fast.

I wanted this polish to work so badly but it chipped easily. I will probably only use it on my toes.

I purchased this brand as it was recommended by one of my vloggers. I was excited to try it for the upcoming holidays. I purchased this brand polish and top coat. Followed the instructions for application, used my uv nail lamp, etc. They dried really quick which I loved. However, today is day 3 of having them done and they already chipped on 3 of my nails. I was hoping to get at least a week to two weeks use of them before noticing wear. I am not rough on my nails either. Will give it another try, but hoping they last longer this next application.

I bought the color "Berry Boudiou" and in the picture it looks like a berry color, but when I received it, it is a very dark purple color. I realize that it's hard to judge colors online, but this was way,way off.

Una tonalità davvero bella. Facile da applicare. Prezzo giusto

Colore stupendo come in fotografia, col top coat sembra duri anche, non 7 giorni, ma 4 o 5.

Colour is exactly like the colour in the picture, I usually google swatches of the colour before buying.

Très bon produit une très bonne résistance et d une très belle couleur peux chère et j attends la nouvelle collection

Colore stupendo, lunga tenuta, costa un pò più di altri smalti ma è di alta qualità
