All my life I used to buy cheap nail polishes for 1€ - 2€, like Annie, Beauty Line, Kiss 60", Gina, Sixteen, Lovie, etc. I bought for the first time from China Glaze, Essie, Orly, and O.P.I. just because I found many nice colors that I couldn't find in the cheaper ones. I expected that in the worst case scenario they would be the same as my cheap nail polishes, but such disappointment, I definitely didn't expect. Let me start with the fact that they need at least 3 coats and out of the 7 colors I bought, only one is light/pastel. I'm used to full coverage in 2 coats from my 200+ cheap nail polishes. They take a very long time to dry, and I'm not even talking about the 3 coats. I tried a brown and a dark blue with 2 coats and one coat of top coat. Two of the best top coats to be exact (Seche Vite and Out the Door by INM). They take about half an hour to dry if I use one of these top coats, while with others, quick dry top coats, it takes from 45 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes.

The problem is that they still easily leave fingerprints, scratches, or streaks for many hours. If, for example, you lightly scratch it, the polish will streak at the edges of the nails, as if you pushed it backwards, revealing the edges of the nails. Before 24 hours pass, it starts peeling at the edges, resulting in it looking like my other polish on the 6th day!

Finally, 5 out of the 7 colors were very disappointing, they didn't look like they did in the photos and videos I searched online before buying them. No resemblance in terms of intensity, vibrancy, or shade, and that was the reason I decided to spend more money on these nail polishes. I regretted it a lot.
