Chic Nail Polish Review

I was feeling adventurous one day and wanted to color my nails - I usually don't wear nail polish - so I went to the mall and decided to buy cheap nail polish. I was looking for another popular local brand but I couldn't find any, and then I saw Chic.


The bottles were actually hidden from view, because of course they were showcasing the imported and obviously more expensive brands.


Anyway, I took three bottles of Chic:


Love Orchid (Peach-pink), Purple Frost, Simply Red


Two weeks ago I decided to try the red one. It was fairly easy to apply and dried fast. The following days I reapplied again. I was OC about the way I applied it the first time. I noticed that the nail polish became thicker. I tried mixing it with nail polish remover but still the nail polish stayed thick. Looks like it seemed to be affected by the cold weather, because the next time I checked the bottle it was humid and somehow the polish thinned already.


Just today I got bored with the red color so I tried the purple one. Again, fairly easy to apply, and it quickly dried.






A few minutes later I noticed that the consistency of the liquid has thickened. I'm not sure if this also happens to other brands of nail polish - although the other local nail polish I've tried haven't thickened as fast as these ones did.


As soon as I really learn how to put nail polish on flawlessly, I'll try the more expensive brands. I hope they'll be better. :)

    Thanks Irene! I think it's normal that nail polishes stain :) Just use a base coat to avoid it :)

    I haven't tried that brand, but I always like Caronia cos it doesn't stain.

    Me,I never forget to put base coat and as much as possible I won't let the nail polish stay on my nails for two weeks. As for the thickening, I usually place the bottles in a cup with warm water for about 2 minutes. :)
