Cute and good quality but nothing too special
The colour was cute and true to the bottle. Nice and bright when applied and went on smoothly. I did like the brush, it was easy to apply and wasn't streaky. Overall though it's still pretty average - comparable to all the rest of the Essie's and OPIs I have in my collection. Nothing about it really stood out to me in terms of having an advantage over any of the others.
Royal to royalista
I was selected to try out royalista which is a beautiful blue colour . I have to say that this nail Polish lasted a week for me which is pretty long in my books without any chipping . The formula is quick drying and doesn't smell too strong like nail Polish . I would definetley recommend this nail Polish and also buy more of this brand .

Royal to royalista
I was selected to try out royalista which is a beautiful blue colour .I only used one coat which gave a beautiful blue colour but then I decided for 2 coat and it gave a abit darker shade which looked beautiful and perfect for fall. The more coats / layer the deeper the colour turns which is great. I have to say that this nail Polish lasted a week for me which is pretty long in my books without any chipping . The formula is quick drying and doesn't smell too strong like nail Polish . I would definetley recommend this nail Polish and also buy more of this brand
Pretty good
I received this for free from chickadvisor and I like it. I like the colour I was sent (red colour) it was pretty, went on smooth and I applied two coats. It didn't last longer then any other nail polish I own and it chipped at the top around day three. I will definitely continue to use it, especially around the holidays. I would also try other colours! #gotitfree
GORGEOUS Blue!
I was lucky enough to sample the CND Creative Play line for free in exchange for my opinion on the products, including the nail lacquer in Royalista (a gorgeous blue!). It went on smoothly, dried fairly quickly and only needed two coats for a flawless look. The colour it dries on the nails is true to the colour in the bottle which is great! I also like that over the course of being on my nails, it didn't change colour or stain like other polishes. I only gave 4 stars because I did not find the polish system as a whole to last any longer than any other brand I have tried. Especially on sale, I'd definitely try some other colours!
Great Fun Nail Polish
This nail polish is very pigmented and only needa 2 coats for full coverage. I recieved the blue and it was a nice fun colour that went on super smooth. Will be trying some other colours.
Never has my nail polish lasted so long!
I was so excited that I got to try out this campaign. I love doing my nails, and I had never tried CND before this. I chose the royal blue color since I already have lots of pink nail polishes. I was surprised with the color - it was super vibrant, and when I put it on my nails, it did not take three coats to get the solid, vibrant color. One coat did the trick. I would definitely recommend this brand instead of others like Essie!
Love this polish
I received the Nail Lacquer in ROYALISTA for free as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review club. This is the third shade I have received / purchased and this brand always works really well for me. It lasts for much longer than any other polish and I always receive complements on it. I have also used the top and base coat with othe brands and they help as well. #gotitfree
A quick dry nail polish!
I received this nail polish for free as part of the Product Review Club. The colour I got is Peony Ride.
The good: the colour is GORGEOUS. It makes me happy and reminds me of summer.
It dries super quickly - in about five minutes, which is terrific. I've applied it twice now, both times shortly before going to sleep. When I woke up the next morning it looked just as good as when I applied it - no smudges like with other nail polishes.
The not-so good: it started to chip after about three days. I touched it up a few times but had to remove it and repaint my nails after six days.
I would buy this nail polish, and other ones in the line. The best feature is by far how quickly it dries. It's really nice not having to sit around and not do anything for ages while my polish dries.
I wouldn't pay for this
I #gotitfree as part of ChickAdvisor's product review club.
I wasn't overly impressed with this polish. I received the bright pink colour, which is a hard sell for me to wear in the fall but do it for the review right? I needed two coats to get an opaque colour, but it went on smoothly and the brush was nice. When dry, the polish was surprisingly shiny - you almost don't need a topcoat unless you're going to actually use your hands for things.
That's where I was unimpressed. I wore this polish to work (retail) for one day, and the ends were worn off and two nails were chipped. I did use the topcoat as well, which in my opinion should protect that colour.. so it's hard to say if the polish failed me or the topcoat. Either way, it should last on my nails more than a day.
I wouldn't buy this polish, but if you're a person who doesn't use their hands much or maybe works a desk job and doesn't do much manual labour, it would be fine.
Shiny and perfect
I received the colour Nocturne it up. It’s the perfect colour for fall since it’s dark but it’s all sparkly. It also lasted longer than typical polish manicures. I think it started to chip after about four days. I received a lot of compliments on the colour too.
