CNDVinylux Long Wear Nail Polish (No Lamp Required), 15 ml, Blue, Indigo Frock

It does what it is supposed to do

I brought this top coat with a number of CND vinylux colours. They are seriously long lasting for polish! I seem to get 8-10 days wear easily which is probably 7-9 days longer than other long lasting polish brands. I’m impressed! On a par with shellac with no nail damage!

I continue to be massively torn over Vinylux - in short, you need to put the same amount of prep in as you'd expect if you were having CND Shellac applied in a salon. The plusses are that it dries VERY quickly and does seem to give your nails similar strength to a gel or shellac manicure. The minuses? Well, it chips within hours, and the free edge wears as soon as you wash your hands. Drying speed does make touch-ups less of a problem, but don't treat it as anything other than normal polish or you'll be disappointed.

Disappointed at the description of this as it does not match what has arrived. Wouldn't buy again

I've been using CND Gel polishes for more than six years, but am tired of having to replace UV lightbulbs or purchase new lights, so I though I'd give the Vinylux polish a go. What a waste! I've tried it twice now, and on both occasions, my nails have chipped the same day. It's really no different to a standard nail polish, either in looks or endurance. The polish seems to break down in the shower alone. I wouldn't recommend this product, and I won't bother using it again.
