LONDONTOWNkur Illuminating Nail Concealer, Vegan, Cruelty Free, Gluten Free, Paraben Free Sheer Nail Polish Long Lasting Brightening Nail Care

The media could not be loaded. Welp. I found my new go-to polish with the PINK illuminating nail concealer. I tried both the milky and the pink, and my fave is the pink. The milky doesn’t look yellow per se, but if I hold them up against the light, there’s definitely more of a yellow tone over time with the milky.My old go-to was the Essie Gel Couture in the twisty bottle in color 40 Fairy Tailor (not actually gel, but “gel like”) which is also an excellent polish, but this one is better. It lasts a little bit longer and looks nicer for longer. And unlike the Essie one, it doesn’t yellow in the sun at the end of its life span, nor does it get thick in the bottle as quickly. I’ll take a video to show you the viscosity and amount after 3 months.This polish is beautiful. Easy to apply with a great brush that I can do 1-2 strokes for the whole nail. Gives you that extra touch that makes you feel polished even when you’re not put together. It dries quickly. I still use my Essie Gel Couture top coat which works wonderfully. I get about 8-10 days out of it when I wipe my nails with rubbing alcohol before painting.The polish nor my routine with the rubbing alcohol does not make my nails less healthy. In fact, keeping them polished protects them and makes them so much less likely to split, which is my main problem (my nails can split down below where I would normally clip and they also split lengthwise along the nail itself almost like I can peel the top layer off).But I really knew I needed to re-purchase this one when I looked at when I had last purchased it which was 3 months prior. I did my nails with ONLY this polish, two coats each time, every 8 days or so. So it was well worth the $20.I could still get a couple manis out of that bottle probably but I just like fresh bottles so much better and since I don’t get them professionally done, I indulge in the fresh bottle.

I got the color : Original and use 2 coats.I never understand when ppl say they prepare their nails. Not sure what exactly they are doing, but I just wash my hands with soap and water to get any oil residue off. Then I hold my fingertips on a little space heater to really dry them out- maybe 30 seconds. Since I'm right handed, my left hand looks good, my right hand looks questionable but that's not the polish' fault.I use 2 coats with a approx. Drying period of 1 minute in between. The polish is rather quick drying but I still wait about 15 minutes.The polish looks nice for about 5 days, then it slowly starts to come off which I think is alot better than other polishes, especially since I'm doing all my dishes by hand. After those 5 days I take the old polish off and apply a new coat that's where the BUT comes in. I'm not sure if I can blame the polish or the acetone, or both. My nails start to break and get brittle, after about 4 weeks of use. That's when I have to give my nails a 6 weeks " resting" time

I love this product! One coat and uour nails look healthy. It dries fast, so you can apply a coat and be out the door in 10 minutes. I was very have to find this set of minis, so I could try all the colors at a great price!

I bought this to help protect my nails between doing gel polish and acrylics, and it definitely helps restore my nails, but it's also so beautiful in its own right that I now reach for it all the time. The formula and color are so forgiving - even if you don't paint the edges perfectly, it still looks good, and it dries quickly but not so quickly that you can't wipe it off your cuticles if needed. It self-levels beautifully so you don't have to worry about streaks. The shade "Milky" is the perfect slightly translucent white - it's like OPI's "Funny Bunny" but with a less-streaky formula, and it only takes 2 coats instead of 3 (because who has time for that?). I'm mostly impressed with how long this lasts: I have thin, brittle nails, and I like to do stuff with my hands, so I'm lucky if I can go 3 days before chipping regular nail polish (yes, even using cuticle oil and lotion regularly). But this stuff lasts me up to a week, and that's without a topcoat. It's also an excellent base coat for polishes that need a more solid base for their color to really pop, so I'll use one coat of this and one or two coats of color on top. It feels expensive to spend this much on one bottle, but considering I'm more than halfway through that bottle in less than 6 months and all the money I've wasted on inferior products through the years, I'm definitely getting my money's worth. I'm going back for more colors of the illuminating concealer, and I'm going to try some of Londontown's brighter colors too. Highly recommend.

I tried the original color first and while I liked it, I felt it wasn’t quite what I was looking for so I got the pink color and that one was perfect! If you do more than 2 coats, it starts to look closer to solid white (which I didn’t want). For $20 a bottle, I really expected it to last through daily chores like washing dishes, bath time with the kiddo, and lots of handwashing. I didn’t give 5 stars because I was touching up my manicures after only 1-2 days - and that is with a base and top coat. The bottles are also small and if you do manicures weekly (not having gel or artificial nails), I can see these bottles going quick. I think more product should be given for the price. However, I love the color when 2 coats are applied and it’s been hard to find a color that fits what this one pulls off! Like a translucent, milky color that makes nails look healthy and clean. First time I’d ever seen a nail illuminator and had to give it a try. The pink is a great everyday color!!

This nail polish is pure magic. It glides on effortlessly, making it easy to do my own nails, and it lasts about a week without chipping. I absolutely love this pink shade—it’s versatile and buildable. One coat enhances your natural nail color, two coats give a subtle pink tint, and three coats creates my favorite baby pink finish. Definitely worth the price!
